Staking TRX makes you a TronSave provider. Sell Settings decides whether anyone actually buys your energy — and at what margin. This is the panel where you trade fill rate against yield: a higher earning share pays you more per order but ranks you lower in the matching queue, and a dozen other fields decide which orders you are even eligible for. Here is what each control does and how to reason about it.
Before you touch it
Sell Settings assumes you are already registered as a provider with TRX staked and the necessary on-chain permissions granted. If you are still deciding whether to provide at all — the staking mechanics, the 14-day lockup, what permission TronSave receives and why it is safe — start with how to become a TronSave provider. This guide picks up after that.
One structural note before the fields: Energy and Bandwidth share the same set of settings but are configured independently. Tuning your energy rules does nothing to your bandwidth rules. Providers who only care about energy routinely forget the bandwidth side exists.
The master switch: Automatic Matching
Everything below is gated behind Automatic Matching. With it on, TronSave automatically matches you with orders that meet your criteria. With it off, the panel shows a Paused state and the remaining fields are locked — you are still a provider, but you are not in the queue.
This is the switch to use when you want to stop taking new orders without unwinding your position. Pausing does not touch existing delegations; it stops new ones from being matched to you.
Earning share: the dial that matters most
Earning share is a slider from 25% to 75%, and the tooltip states the trade-off plainly: “What % profit do you want? Higher profit means lower order priority.”
That single sentence is the whole economics of being a provider. Set it low and you are near the front of the matching queue — your energy gets used, more often, for less margin each time. Set it high and each fill pays better, but buyers get matched to cheaper providers first and your stake may sit idle. Idle staked TRX earns you the base staking reward and nothing else, so a high share that never fills is worse than a low share that always does.
The panel helps you calibrate this with a live percentile: under the slider it tells you your share is “higher share than X% of providers.” That is the number to watch, because your fill rate depends on where you sit relative to everyone else competing for the same orders — not on the absolute percentage. A 50% share means something very different in a market where most providers sit at 35% than in one where they sit at 60%.
Practical approach: start below the median, confirm you are actually getting filled, then raise the share in small steps until fills start thinning out. That is where your yield is maximised. Setting it once and never revisiting it is the most common way providers underperform — the distribution moves.
Price and amount
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Min price | The minimum energy price per day, in sun/day, that you will freeze resources for. Available as Auto or Manual. |
| Min delegate amount | The smallest resource chunk that can be used to fill an order. Also Auto or Manual. |
| Maintain undelegated | Energy held back in your account that will never be used for orders. |
Min price is your floor. Auto tracks the market so you stay competitive without babysitting; Manual is for providers with a specific return target who would rather sit out a cheap market than fill at a price they consider bad. Manual is only the right call if you are willing to watch it — a manual floor left above the market is just a paused account with extra steps.
Min delegate amount is subtler and worth understanding. Its stated purpose is to maximise the total amount of used resources in your address. Set it too low and your capacity gets carved into many tiny delegations, which can leave awkward unusable remainders; set it too high and you become ineligible for the many small orders that make up most of the market’s volume. Auto is the sensible default unless you have a specific reason.
Maintain undelegated is your own working reserve. If the same address also sends USDT, this is how you stop the marketplace renting out the energy you were about to use yourself. Providers who use a dedicated address can leave it at zero.
Duration limits
Three controls decide how long your resources can be locked into someone else’s order:
- Allow Extend Order — lets a buyer create an extended order against your delegation rather than letting it expire. Good for utilisation, since an extension is a fill you did not have to compete for. See how Extend works.
- Min delegate duration — defaults to Off, configurable in minutes, hours, or days. Turning it on filters out very short rentals.
- Max delegate duration — defaults to 30 days. This is your commitment ceiling.
The trade-off runs opposite to earning share. Long delegations are efficient — one match, weeks of utilisation, no churn — but they commit your stake at today’s price for the whole period. If the market rate rises, you are locked in below it. Short rentals keep you repricing constantly but leave you free to follow the market. A wide range (no minimum, 30-day maximum) maximises how many orders you qualify for; narrowing it is a deliberate choice to trade eligibility for control.
Automatic Reclaim
When a delegation unlocks, the resources need reclaiming before they can be sold again. Two options:
- All (recommended) — reclaims every delegation from your account once it unlocks, whether or not it went through TronSave.
- Only TronSave — reclaims only the delegations TronSave itself created.
Choose Only TronSave if your address also delegates resources outside TronSave — to your own wallets, to a partner, to anything you manage by hand. Under All, those private delegations get reclaimed too once they unlock, which is almost certainly not what you want. If the address exists purely to provide on TronSave, All is the recommended setting and keeps your capacity recycling without manual intervention.
Getting paid
The Payment Config card controls where and when TRX from sales reaches you. The payment address is any valid TRON address — it does not have to be the staking address, which is useful if you prefer proceeds to land somewhere separate from your stake.
Payment frequency is the decision with actual money attached:
- Daily (zero fee) — proceeds are batched and sent once a day, gas-free.
- Immediate (0.3 TRX per transaction) — each sale pays out as it happens, and each payout costs 0.3 TRX.
Run the arithmetic before picking Immediate. At 0.3 TRX per payout, a provider filling many small orders can hand back a meaningful slice of a day’s earnings in transaction fees alone — the cost is per payout, not proportional to the sale, so it hurts most exactly where margins are thinnest. Daily batching is free and is the right default for almost everyone. Immediate earns its cost only if you genuinely need per-sale settlement.
Permissions and resetting
The Operations & Features card is the on-chain half: each automation only becomes available once its corresponding operation is granted, and the card tells you which features turn off without a given permission. Changing the permission set is an on-chain action with a 100 TRX review cost, so batch your changes rather than granting one permission at a time.
If you have tuned yourself into a corner, a Reset to defaults action restores sane values, scoped separately for Energy, Bandwidth, and Operations & payment.
FAQ
What earning share should I start at?
Below the median shown by the percentile indicator, then raise it in steps while watching your fill rate. There is no universally correct number — it depends on where other providers are sitting today. Your dashboard’s average matched price is how you check whether a change worked — see tracking your provider earnings.
Why is my staked TRX not earning anything?
Check Automatic Matching first — if it is paused, you are not in the queue. After that, the usual causes are an earning share well above the field, a manual min price above the market, or duration and amount limits narrow enough to disqualify you from most orders.
Do energy and bandwidth settings affect each other?
No. They share the same set of fields but are configured independently, so changing one has no effect on the other.
Does pausing cancel my existing delegations?
No. Pausing stops new orders from being matched to you; delegations already in flight run to their agreed end.
Should I use Auto or Manual pricing?
Auto unless you have a specific return target and will actually monitor the market. A manual floor left above the going rate quietly takes you out of the running.
Is Immediate payout ever worth 0.3 TRX per transaction?
Only if per-sale settlement matters to you operationally. For pure yield, daily batching is free and keeps everything you earned.
Bottom line
Most of the return on providing comes down to two numbers: an earning share positioned sensibly against the rest of the field, and duration limits wide enough to stay eligible for real order flow. Everything else is guardrails — a price floor, a working reserve, a reclaim policy matched to how you use the address. Set them once with intent, then revisit the share periodically, because the distribution you were competing against will have moved.
Tune your account: open your provider dashboard on TronSave and check your earning share against the percentile indicator — then watch your fill rate on the energy market.
TronSave publishes this blog and operates the provider marketplace described here. Settings, defaults, and fees — the 25–75% share range, the 30-day duration default, the 0.3 TRX immediate-payout fee, and the 100 TRX permission review cost — reflect the product at the time of writing and can change. Provider returns are not guaranteed and depend on market demand. This is not financial advice.
