How to Earn Passive TRX by Renting Out Your Tron Energy

If you're holding Energy in your Tron wallet and not using it, you're missing an opportunity to earn passive TRX every month — with no risk to your funds.

By renting out your Energy, you can earn up to 1,160 TRX per month (approximately $290 at current rates), depending on how much you're holding. Here's how it works and how to get started.

What You're Actually Doing

You're not staking. You're not trading. You're renting out Energy, a native resource on the Tron network, to users who need it to execute smart contracts.

  • Your TRX stays in your wallet the entire time.

  • You're simply delegating Energy.

  • You get paid in TRX, usually within seconds of confirming the rental.

Note: Your TRX is temporarily locked during the rental period. You’ll regain access once the contract ends.

Maximize Your Returns

The 30-day rental period offers the best return on your Energy. Shorter terms often pay less, and longer ones can be less competitive.

Here are reliable platforms to rent out your Energy:

Each platform integrates easily with TronLink Wallet.

First Stake TRX to Generate Energy

Before you can rent Energy, you first need to stake (freeze) your TRX to generate it.

Here’s how:

  1. Open your TronLink Wallet

  2. Tap "Stake" or "Freeze" in the wallet dashboard

  3. Select the amount of TRX you want to freeze

  4. Choose "Energy" as the resource type

  5. Confirm the transaction

Bonus - Make sure you choose your preferred SR (Super Representative) for extra TRX rewards.

Your TRX will be locked, but you’ll immediately be provided Energy. This Energy is what you’ll be renting out.

Note: Once you stake TRX for Energy, you will have a 14 days unlock period once a unstake request has been initiated. You can't request a unstake if a “Delegate Resource” is active. Once unstake has been requested all energy is removed.

Now a Step-by-Step: How to Rent Out Energy

  • Open TronLink Wallet and tap the browser icon.

  • Go to https://tronpulse.io/r/energyexchange.

  • Connect your wallet.

  • Choose an active contract (look for 30-day options for the best return).

  • Enter the amount of Energy you'd like to delegate (e.g., 800,000).

  • The platform will show your estimated TRX earnings.

  • Click “Delegate Resource”. Your TRX will be locked, and your earnings will be paid immediately.

That’s it — your Energy starts earning TRX, and your funds remain secure.

How to Reclaim Your TRX

Once the rental period ends:

  • Open TronLink Wallet.

  • Tap “Energy” on the main screen.

  • Tap “Claim” > “View or Reclaim”.

  • Any completed rentals will show up. You can also view ongoing contracts under “Locked”.
