How pricing and payment work
Start with the exact Energy amount
65,000 and 131,000 are convenient presets, not a guarantee that every USDT transfer will consume that amount. You can enter a custom quantity and request its current quote. The available product is a one-hour rental; changing the amount requires a new quote.
Is renting Energy cheaper than burning TRX?
First subtract the sending wallet's available Energy from the estimated Energy it must supply for the transaction; use zero if there is no shortfall. Multiply the missing Energy by the current network cost in SUN per Energy and divide by 1,000,000 to estimate the TRX burn. Compare this with the live quote for the quantity you would actually buy: TRONow has a 65,000 Energy minimum, even when the shortfall is smaller. Include bandwidth and any activation costs separately. If the wallet already has enough Energy, no rental is needed for that transaction.
How can I find cheap TRON Energy rental?
Compare the website's wallet price and your account's authenticated API quote for the same Energy quantity, one-hour duration and time. The public API reference is not every account's final price. To judge a low TRX rental price, compare the rental charge plus remaining network fees with the estimated cost of burning TRX plus other network fees for the same transfer. Use the actual purchase price for at least 65,000 Energy even if the Energy shortfall is smaller. Use the wallet payment quote or the accepted POST /orders amount as the final price. TRONow does not promise the lowest price across all providers or a fixed savings percentage.
SUN, TRX and rounding
1 TRX equals 1,000,000 SUN. Customer totals are rounded upward to 0.01 TRX. API amounts are integer SUN strings; preserve their precision and use the returned total for payment.
A calculation example, not a live offer
Suppose a quoted rental total is 1,430,000 SUN: that is 1.43 TRX. A total of 2,882,000 SUN rounds upward to 2.89 TRX; 1.430001 TRX rounds to 1.44 TRX. These examples explain rounding and are not current offers.
Website price and merchant price
The website shows the current direct-purchase price and, when available, an API reference comparison for the same quantity. A merchant's authenticated quote is specific to that account. Do not assume the reference price or savings percentage applies to every account. Prices can change; the website refreshes displayed quotes every minute.
Five-minute wallet payment window
Enter the wallet address and proceed to the payment step to create a five-minute payment quote. Pay the exact amount to the displayed address within that window from the specified wallet. The Energy is delivered to that wallet. A displayed estimate alone is not a locked payment order.
When execution needs review
Payment confirmation, time, amount and availability are checked before wallet delivery. Expired or mismatched wallet payments, or market changes that prevent delivery at the locked price, require review. Keep the transaction hash and contact support before paying again. Merchant API quotes follow the separate API contract and are not rejected as QUOTE_EXPIRED.
Compare total transfer costs fairly
Energy rental reduces the Energy portion of contract execution. Bandwidth and address activation may still cost TRX. Compare the rental charge plus remaining network fees with the wallet's current estimate for the same transaction; neither a fixed savings percentage nor a fixed number of covered transfers is guaranteed.
