TRON energy for affiliate and ad networks
A network pays its partners on a schedule, often weekly or on request. Each payout is a USDT transfer to a different wallet, many of which have never held USDT.

Where energy is spent
01
Scheduled payouts
Payouts follow a payout calendar, so the energy can be ordered when the run starts.
02
Wide spread of recipients
Each partner has their own address, so each transfer goes to a different wallet with its own USDT balance.
03
Payout minimums
A threshold keeps small balances from being paid out one by one, which keeps the transfer count, and the energy, down.
- REST API
- Webhooks
- Auto-refill
- Large orders
What this does not cover
Whether to charge partners a withdrawal fee is the network's own decision. This page only counts the network cost.
Questions
Is it cheaper to pay partners in one batch?
Per transfer, the energy is the same. What a batch saves is the order's flat fee, which is shared by every transfer in it.
What if a partner changes the payout address?
Each payout is checked against the address it goes to, so a new address is priced by its own USDT balance.
