Your balance pays for energy. It is topped up by sending USDT (TRC-20) or TRX to a deposit address that belongs to you and never changes — no card, no exchange account.

## Steps

### 1. Open the Wallet tab

Sign in and go to the dashboard. Wallet is where your balance, your deposit address and every transaction live.

On screen: Wallet being opened from the row of dashboard tabs.

### 2. Get your deposit address

The first time, the address has to be created. One click, and it is yours for good — later top-ups reuse the same address, so you can save it in your wallet's address book.

On screen: The Wallet card with the Get deposit address button.

### 3. Copy the address or scan the QR code

Copy it with the button next to the address, or scan the QR code from your phone's wallet. Check the first and last four characters after pasting — clipboard-swapping malware is a real thing on TRON.

The Wallet page also shows the smallest amount each currency accepts. A transfer below that minimum is not credited.

On screen: The deposit address being copied, its button ticking over to Copied.

### 4. Send USDT (TRC-20) or TRX from your wallet

Send from any wallet or exchange that supports TRON: TronLink, Trust Wallet, Binance, Bybit. The network must be TRON (TRC-20) — a transfer sent over Ethereum, BSC or any other chain does not arrive and cannot be recovered.

USDT is converted to TRX at the rate shown on the Wallet page, which is the rate your deposit is credited at. Sending TRX skips the conversion.

### 5. The balance updates once the network confirms

A TRON transfer confirms in under a minute. The deposit then appears in Recent transactions and the balance is ready to spend on energy — no confirmation step on your side.

If the money has not arrived after a few minutes, check the transaction on Tronscan: a transfer sent on the wrong network or below the minimum never reaches the balance.

On screen: Recent transactions with a credited deposit of 50 USDT.

## FAQ

### Is the deposit address permanent?

Yes. It is created once and stays yours, so you can save it and top up from the same place every time.

### Which networks and currencies are accepted?

USDT and TRX on TRON (TRC-20) only. Transfers on other networks are lost and cannot be returned.

### Why is my balance in TRX when I sent USDT?

Energy is priced in TRX, so the balance is kept in TRX. A USDT deposit is converted at the rate shown on the Wallet page when it is credited.

### How long does a top-up take?

Usually under a minute — the time TRON needs to confirm the transfer. The deposit shows up in Recent transactions as soon as it is credited.
