Stakers hold energy they don't use. Payment companies burn TRX because they can't buy it in large, firm lots. We connect the two, and the chain enforces delivery.
Every USDT transfer on Tron costs energy. Without it, the sender burns 6.43 TRX, about $2.04. Stakers produce energy every day, but much of it is never rented, and nobody sells it in the lot sizes a payment desk needs.
| Who | How they solve it | Their cut | What's missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| JustLend | Lending pool: stakers deposit, buyers rent by the day | 20% of rent | 3-hour minimum; only 19% of the pool is rented |
| TronSave | Marketplace matching providers and buyers | 25% of rent | The only venue that fills 20M for an hour; no neutral price to check it against |
| Retail renters | TronBid, iTRX, TronZap, GetBlock, NetTS sell fixed packages | in the price | Packages top out near 1M units (NetTS 3M) |
| GasFree | Users pay the fee in USDT; a provider covers the energy | 1–1.5 USDT a transfer | Per transfer, not wholesale supply |
| Do it yourself | Stake TRX, or burn it | none | 200M units a day locks 20.5M TRX; burning costs 6.43 TRX a transfer |
200M idle units a day: about 656,000 TRX a year more than through JustLend, if it sells.
An hourly sealed-bid batch: the supplier posts quantity and reserve, buyers bid, all winners pay one price. The supplier delegates locked energy straight to each buyer. Software agents bid, deliver and check, inside hard limits that people set.
