TRX Staking & SR Voting

TRX Staking & SR Voting

Stake TRX to earn TRON Power, vote for Super Representatives (SRs), and claim voting rewards. TRON uses Delegated Proof of Stake — the top 27 SRs by vote count produce blocks and distribute rewards proportionally to voters every 6 hours.

Quick Start

cd trx-staking-skill && npm install
export TRON_PRIVATE_KEY="<your-private-key>"
export TRON_NETWORK="mainnet"

Caution

Never display or log the private key.

Available Scripts

1. status.js — Staking Overview

node scripts/status.js
node scripts/status.js TWalletAddress

Output: tron_power, total_frozen_trx, votes[], unused_tron_power, pending_reward_trx

2. sr-list.js — List Super Representatives

node scripts/sr-list.js              # Top 27 (active SRs)
node scripts/sr-list.js --top 50     # Top 50 (includes partners)

Output: super_representatives[] (rank, address, url, vote_count, vote_share, is_active_sr)

3. vote.js — Vote for SRs

# All votes to one SR
node scripts/vote.js TSRAddress --dry-run
node scripts/vote.js TSRAddress

# Split votes across multiple SRs
node scripts/vote.js --split TSR1:60,TSR2:40 --dry-run

Note

You must have TRON Power (staked TRX) before voting. Use the energy-bandwidth skill to stake TRX.

4. rewards.js — Voting Rewards

node scripts/rewards.js              # Check pending rewards
node scripts/rewards.js --claim --dry-run
node scripts/rewards.js --claim

---

Usage Patterns

Full Staking Workflow

1. Stake TRX (via energy-bandwidth skill): node stake.js 1000 ENERGY
2. Check TRON Power: node scripts/status.js
3. Browse SRs: node scripts/sr-list.js --top 10
4. Vote: node scripts/vote.js TSRAddress --dry-run → confirm → execute
5. Check rewards periodically: node scripts/rewards.js
6. Claim: node scripts/rewards.js --claim

TRON Stake 2.0 Compliance

This skill is compatible with the TRON Stake 2.0 data model and APIs:

• Account data: Reads the Stake 2.0 frozenV2[] array to compute TRON Power and vote capacity (status.js, vote.js).
• Voting: Uses voteWitnessAccount to cast votes with TRON Power obtained from Stake 2.0 frozen balances.
• Voting rewards: Checks via getReward and claims via withdrawBalance (rewards.js). This is separate from unstake withdrawal.
• Staking/unstaking TRX is handled by the companion energy-bandwidth skill (which uses freezeBalanceV2, unfreezeBalanceV2, and withdrawExpireUnfreeze).

Caution

14-Day Unbonding Period: When TRX is unstaked (via the energy-bandwidth skill), it enters a 14-day cooldown during which it is locked and earns no resources or voting power. The agent must always warn the user about this delay before initiating an unstake. After the 14 days, the TRX does NOT automatically return — withdrawExpireUnfreeze must be called to reclaim it. Unstaking also removes the corresponding TRON Power, which will invalidate any active votes that depend on it.

Key Facts

Property	Value
1 frozen TRX	= 1 TRON Power (TP)
Active SRs	Top 27 by votes
SR Partners	Ranks 28-127
Vote cycle	Every 6 hours
Block reward	128 TRX per cycle, proportional to votes
Unstake cooldown	14 days (mandatory, Stake 2.0)
Unstake withdrawal	Manual — must call withdrawExpireUnfreeze

---

Security Rules

1. Never display private keys.
2. Dry-run before voting. Votes replace previous votes entirely.
3. Verify SR addresses before voting — confirm via sr-list.js.
4. Understand that voting replaces all previous votes. Each vote transaction sets the complete vote slate.
5. Always warn about the 14-day unbonding period before unstaking. When the user wants to unstake (via the energy-bandwidth skill), they must understand that unstaked TRX is locked for 14 days, must be manually withdrawn, and that the lost TRON Power will invalidate votes.

Common Issues

Problem	Solution
No TRON Power	Stake TRX first using energy-bandwidth skill
Percentages don't sum to 100%	Adjust split percentages
No rewards to claim	Wait for a vote cycle (6 hours) after voting
