Staking TRON (TRX) allows you to earn rewards while supporting one of the most scalable and fastest blockchain networks. By staking your TRX, you contribute to transaction validation and the security of the TRON network, all while generating staking rewards. Whether you're new to staking or an experienced user, Tangem Wallet offers a seamless and user-friendly way to stake TRX.
Understanding TRON Staking
TRON staking involves locking your TRX tokens to participate in the network and validate transactions. TRON utilizes a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, where validators (known as Super Representatives) are chosen based on the amount of TRX staked to validate blocks and secure the network.
When you stake your TRX, you delegate voting rights to a validator by assigning your tokens to them. In return, you receive a share of the rewards that the validator earns for maintaining network security. These rewards are typically paid out in TRX and serve as a consistent source of passive income.
- Earn Rewards: You earn a portion of the new TRX generated by the network. Reward amounts vary based on validator performance and the total amount of TRX staked.
- Support Network Security: Staking helps secure the TRON network by ensuring only trusted representatives participate in the consensus mechanism.
- Promote Decentralization: By staking your TRX, you help maintain the decentralized nature of the TRON network, preventing any single entity from gaining excessive control.
TRX staking is straightforward and accessible through Tangem Wallet, allowing you to easily participate in the network and earn rewards.
Key Staking Parameters

- Unstaking Period: Staked TRX can be unstaked after a 14-day waiting period. During this time, your TRX is locked and cannot be transferred.
- Staking Rewards (APR): The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for TRX staking is dynamic and influenced by network conditions, validator performance, and the total amount of TRX staked.
