Delegating resources on TRON lets you share Energy or Bandwidth with any address while keeping 100% ownership of your staked TRX. In 2025 this feature will be used by millions – either to cover USDT fees for friends or to earn passive income (many users get up to 18% APY through Tronsave).
What Are TRON Resources and Why Delegate Them
TRON network runs on two resources:
- Bandwidth – for normal TRX transfers (600 free points daily)
- Energy – required for every USDT TRC-20 transfer and smart-contract interaction
Freezing TRX generates these resources. Delegating simply lends them out while your original stake stays untouched.
