Staking TRON (TRX) allows you to earn rewards while supporting one of the most scalable and fast blockchain networks. By staking TRX, you contribute to transaction validation and the security of the TRON network while earning staking rewards.
Whether you're new to staking or a seasoned user, Tangem Wallet offers a seamless and user-friendly way to stake TRX.
What is TRON Staking?
By locking up your TRX tokens, you can participate in the TRON network and help validate transactions using TRON staking. TRON uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, where validators (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 power to a validator on the network by assigning them your tokens. In return, you receive a share of the rewards earned by the validator 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. The amount of rewards varies depending on the performance of the validator and the total amount of TRX staked.
- Support network security: Staking helps secure the TRON network by ensuring that only trustworthy representatives take part in the consensus mechanism.
- Contribute to decentralization: By staking your TRX, you play a role in maintaining the decentralized nature of the TRON network by preventing any single entity from gaining excessive control.
TRX staking is simple and accessible through Tangem Wallet, allowing you to participate in the network and earn rewards with ease.
