TRON energy for payment processors and gateways

A processor gives each payer a deposit address, then sweeps what arrives into its own wallet. The deposit address is the sender of that sweep, so it is the address that needs energy.

Energy cost

68.64 TRX · $22.65

USDT collected

9,047

Example balances. Each tile is a separate address and a separate sender, so each needs its own delegation of energy. A sweep costs the same for 5 USDT and for 5,000, so very small deposits may wait until they add up. USD figures use an indicative TRX rate.

Where energy is spent

01

Sweeping deposits

Collecting from many addresses is many transfers, each from a different sender that needs its own energy.

02

Paying merchants

Settlement from the processor's wallet to merchants is the second kind of transfer, from a wallet you control.

03

Addresses with no TRX

Rented energy means a deposit address needs no TRX to send. Bandwidth for the transfer is a separate, much smaller cost.

  • REST API
  • Webhooks
  • Auto-refill
  • Large orders

What this does not cover

Energy is delegated to one address at a time. A processor sweeping thousands of addresses sends thousands of delegations, and our API and webhooks exist for exactly that, not a hand-run dashboard.

Questions

Does the deposit address need TRX to be swept?

Not for energy, if energy is delegated to it. The transfer also uses a small amount of bandwidth, about 350, which a fresh address gets free up to its daily allowance, or which can be rented too.

Is the address activated already?

An address that has never been used on TRON has to be activated before it can receive anything, including delegated energy. It is a one-off cost per address.
