1. Tron Network
The Tron Network is a high-throughput, low-fee layer-1 blockchain designed for smart-contract execution and decentralized applications.
| Key facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Consensus | Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) |
| Block Time | ≈ 3 seconds |
| Native Token | TRX (1 TRX = 1,000,000 SUN) |
| Resources | Energy (CPU) & Bandwidth (network) |
How our Energy Marketplace uses Tron Network
- Energy Leasing: We monetize the Energy generated by staking TRX and safely delegate it to buyers.
- Voting & Rewards: By staking on your behalf, we vote for Super Representatives, harvesting voting rewards that go straight to your balance.
- Immutable Logs: Every rental, delegation, or reward claim is immutably recorded on-chain, verifiable by anyone.
Why it is secure
- DPoS with 27 SRs finalizes blocks in seconds.
- System-level permissions let you grant exactly the scopes required (no unlimited token approvals).
- Open-source node software ensures transparency (see TRON GitHub).
Official resources and documentation
- Official Portal: tron.network provides whitepaper, docs, protocol details, roadmap, and economics.
- Ecosystem Apps: Links to wallets, DeFi, NFT, and GameFi projects.
- Foundation News: Governance decisions, technical upgrades, and security bulletins.
2. TronLink Wallet
TronLink is the de-facto browser extension and mobile wallet for managing TRX, tokens, and on-chain permissions. Official website: tronlink.org
| Feature | Benefit for Energy Marketplace |
|---|---|
| Key Management | Your private keys never leave the wallet; our site only requests signatures. |
| Permission UI | Easily add an active permission with five scopes (Stake 2.0, Vote, Delegate, Reclaim, Claim Rewards). |
| dApp Connector | One-click purchase or sale of Energy without copying addresses. |
We integrate TronLink to:
- Detect your wallet address, stake status, and resource balances.
- Prompt clean signature dialogs for buy and sell actions.
- Sign a single transaction to create or update active permissions—no manual JSON editing required.
3. TronScan Explorer
TronScan is the official block explorer, allowing anyone to inspect blocks, transactions, and account resources. Official website: tronscan.org
Why TronScan matters
- Transparency: Users can audit every delegation, vote, or reward claim performed by our platform.
- Resource Dashboard: Real-time view of your Available / Delegated Energy and Bandwidth.
- Permission Inspector: Verify that our active permission has only the five scopes you allowed.
Platform integration
- Each transaction hash in your Reports page links directly to TronScan.
- Screenshots in our permission guide reference TronScan's UI for clarity.
4. TRON GitHub Repository
The TRON Foundation maintains all core code openly on GitHub:
| Repository | Purpose |
|---|---|
| FullNode | Java-based full node powering block production & validation. |
| Grid | Official API gateway services. |
| Wallet-CLI | Command-line utilities for developers and auditors. |
Why open-source matters
- Verifiable Security: Anyone can audit for backdoors or vulnerabilities.
- Deterministic Builds: Node binaries can be compiled from source to verify integrity.
- Ecosystem Tools: SDKs, wrappers, and examples accelerate third-party integrations—including our automated staking engine.
