Staking TRX is one of the most powerful features available through your TRON Network Wallet. Unlike Proof-of-Work blockchains where mining requires expensive hardware, TRON's Delegated Proof-of-Stake model allows any TRX holder to participate in network security and governance simply by freezing tokens directly in their wallet. In return, stakers receive TRON Power (TP) used for voting, plus Energy or Bandwidth resources that reduce transaction costs.
To stake TRX using TRON's Stake 2.0 mechanism, open your wallet and navigate to the staking or freeze section. Select the amount of TRX you wish to stake and choose whether to receive Energy (used for smart contract interactions) or Bandwidth (used for regular TRC-20 transfers). Your frozen TRX generates resources proportional to the amount staked. These resources replenish automatically every 24 hours, meaning you pay no fees for standard transactions while staking.
Beyond resource generation, frozen TRX grants voting rights in TRON's governance system. With your TRON Power, you can vote for Super Representatives — the 27 elected validators who produce blocks and maintain the network. Many Super Representatives distribute a portion of their block rewards back to voters as additional TRX, effectively providing passive income for stakers who engage with the governance process.
When you are ready to unstake, initiate an unfreeze request through your wallet. TRON 2.0 introduced a 14-day lock period after unfreezing before your TRX becomes fully liquid. Plan your staking strategy accordingly — keeping a portion of TRX liquid for immediate use while staking the remainder for long-term resource generation represents the optimal balance for most active TRON ecosystem participants.
