Getting Started

Staking in the TRON network using the Staking API consists of the following main steps:

  1. Delegate (freeze) TRX to gain voting power.
  2. Sign and broadcast the freeze transaction.
  3. Vote for the Super Representative (SR).
  4. Sign and broadcast the vote transaction.
  5. Optionally, check transaction status.

Amounts must be specified in SUN (1 TRX = 1,000,000 SUN).

Get an authentication token to start using Staking API.

Request examples are provided using cURL.

1. Delegate (Freeze) TRX

Send a POST request to /api/v1/tron/[network]/staking/freeze.

Example request (for testnet-nile network):

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://api-test.p2p.org/api/v1/tron/testnet-nile/staking/delegate' \
  --header 'accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "delegatorAddress": "TVscj8F6wPZ92d1smGYjH9heZR1MaEcE9u",
    "amount": 1000000,
    "resource": "BANDWIDTH"
}'
  • delegatorAddress — your TRON wallet address.
  • amount — amount of TRX to stake, in SUN.
  • resource — resource type to freeze: BANDWIDTH or ENERGY.
