Supplier Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern the relationship between TronEnergyHub (“Platform”, “we”, “us”) and any person or entity (“Supplier”, “you”) who registers to provide energy and bandwidth resources through the Platform. By completing the registration process and signing the on-chain permission transaction, you agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety.
1. Definitions

- “Staked TRX”
- TRX you have frozen on the TRON network using the TRON Stake 2.0 mechanism to obtain energy and bandwidth resources.
- “Energy”
- TRON network compute resources derived from staking TRX.
- “Bandwidth”
- TRON network transaction capacity derived from staking TRX.
- “SR Voting Rewards”
- TRX rewards distributed by the TRON network to accounts that vote for Super Representatives, claimable via the WithdrawBalanceContract transaction type.
- “Platform Permission”
- The Active-level permission granted on-chain to the Platform's pooled wallet address via an AccountPermissionUpdate transaction.

- Amounts the Platform owes you for successful energy and bandwidth delegations, settled in USDT (TRC-20).
2. Services Provided by the Platform
By accepting this Agreement and granting the Platform Permission, you authorise the Platform to perform the following managed services on your behalf, fully automated without requiring your intervention for each individual operation:
2.1 Automated Staking
The Platform will automatically freeze your available TRX balance (less a configurable liquid reserve) to obtain TRON network energy and bandwidth resources. Staking is performed to maximise your resources available for delegation.
- The Platform will not stake your entire balance; a minimum liquid reserve (default: 500 TRX) is maintained in your wallet for fee coverage.
- Staking uses the TRON Stake 2.0 mechanism (FreezeBalanceV2Contract).
- You retain ownership of staked TRX at all times. The Platform cannot transfer your staked TRX to any third-party address.
2.2 Automated Voting for Super Representatives
The Platform will automatically allocate your TRON Power (derived from staked TRX) to vote for one or more Super Representatives (“SRs”). SR selection is made by the Platform based on expected yield, reliability, and network performance metrics.
- Votes are rebalanced periodically (typically weekly) as SR performance changes.
- You authorise the Platform to submit VoteWitnessContract transactions from your wallet on your behalf.
- Voting is the mechanism through which you earn SR Voting Rewards.
2.3 Automated SR Voting Reward Claiming
The Platform will automatically claim accumulated SR Voting Rewards on your behalf, typically once per day. This is performed by submitting a WithdrawBalanceContract transaction signed by the Platform’s pooled wallet key using the Active permission you granted.
- Each reward claim transaction consumes bandwidth from your wallet's daily free bandwidth allowance (approximately 250 bandwidth units per claim). If your free bandwidth is exhausted, the TRON network will deduct a small TRX fee from your wallet balance to cover the transaction.
- The Platform will not claim rewards if your wallet has insufficient bandwidth and insufficient TRX to cover the transaction fee without leaving you below your liquid reserve threshold.
2.4 Energy and Bandwidth Delegation
The Platform will delegate your energy and bandwidth resources to buyers who have placed orders through the Platform marketplace. Delegation is executed using the Active permission you granted and the DelegateResourceContract transaction type.
- Delegations are time-limited per the buyer's order duration.
- Resources are automatically reclaimed upon delegation expiry.
- You earn fees for every successful delegation as described in Section 4.
3. Platform Permission Scope
The Active permission granted to the Platform is limited to specific TRON contract types required for the above services. The Platform cannot and will never execute the following operations on your behalf:
- TransferContract (transfer TRX to any address)
- TransferAssetContract (transfer TRC-10 tokens)
- TriggerSmartContract for token transfers (TRC-20 USDT transfers)
- UnfreezeBalanceV2Contract (unstake your TRX) — except when you explicitly initiate the exit flow
- AccountUpdateContract
- Any contract type not explicitly used for staking, voting, reward claiming, and energy/bandwidth delegation
The Platform’s permission is strictly an Active permission (permission ID 2), not an Owner permission. Your Owner permission remains exclusively under your control and cannot be modified by the Platform.
4. Earnings from Energy and Bandwidth Delegation
For each successful energy or bandwidth delegation to a buyer:
- You earn a share of the buyer's payment, denominated in USDT (TRC-20).
- Your earnings are calculated as: buyer payment × supplier share rate (the share rate is displayed on your dashboard and in Platform documentation).
- Earnings are credited to your Payable Balance and settled according to your configured payout schedule.
- The Platform retains the remainder as its marketplace commission (the Platform Fee on delegations is separate from the Platform Fee on SR rewards — see Section 5).
5. Platform Fee on SR Voting Rewards
The Platform charges a fee on SR Voting Rewards claimed on your behalf. This fee compensates the Platform for:
- Operating the staking infrastructure
- Managing SR vote allocation and rebalancing
- Executing automated reward claims on your behalf
- Maintaining the pooled wallet keys and HSM infrastructure that enables these operations
5.1 Fee Rate
The current Platform Fee rate on SR Voting Rewards is published on the Platform website and in your supplier dashboard. The default rate is 5% of the gross reward amount claimed.
The Platform reserves the right to adjust this rate with 30 days’ written notice (email or in-dashboard notification). Continued use of the Platform after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new rate.
5.2 Fee Collection Mechanism
Because SR Voting Rewards are credited directly by the TRON network to your wallet address, the Platform does not receive the rewards before you. The fee is therefore collected via deduction from your Payable Balance as follows:
- When rewards are claimed on your behalf, the Platform records the full reward amount and calculates the Platform Fee (gross reward × fee rate).
- The Platform Fee is added to your Reward Fee Debt — a running tally of fees owed to the Platform that is visible on your dashboard.
- On each payout cycle (or settlement), the outstanding Reward Fee Debt (converted to USDT at the prevailing TRX/USDT rate at time of settlement) is deducted from your Payable Balance before disbursement.
- If your Payable Balance is insufficient to cover the outstanding Reward Fee Debt, the remaining debt carries forward to the next settlement cycle.
5.3 Zero-Activity Scenario
If you are earning SR Voting Rewards via the Platform’s managed services but have not generated any energy or bandwidth delegation orders (resulting in no Payable Balance to deduct fees from), the outstanding Reward Fee Debt still accrues. The Platform will:
- Continue to claim your rewards as described in Section 2.3.
- Carry forward your outstanding Reward Fee Debt.
- Prioritise routing energy delegation orders through your account to generate Payable Balance that can offset the debt, in accordance with Platform routing algorithms.
You are not penalised for having outstanding Reward Fee Debt beyond the deduction from future payouts. However, if Reward Fee Debt remains unresolved for more than 90 days without any Payable Balance activity, the Platform reserves the right to suspend automated reward claiming for your account until the debt is resolved or you contact support.
6. Non-Custodial Architecture
- The Platform cannot transfer your TRX to any address other than back to you through staking/unstaking operations.
- The Platform cannot transfer your USDT holdings.
- Your staked TRX remains in your wallet at all times and is recoverable by you at any time by revoking the Platform Permission.
USDT payouts from your Payable Balance are sent to your registered wallet address by the Platform Treasury from Platform-controlled funds. These payouts represent obligations the Platform owes you, not direct access to buyer payments.
7. Risks and Disclosures
By using the Platform you acknowledge the following risks:
8. Automated Operations and Bandwidth
The Platform performs automated blockchain operations on your behalf, including staking, voting, reward claiming, and energy delegation. Each operation consumes TRON network bandwidth.
- If your wallet has insufficient bandwidth, the TRON network charges TRX to cover transaction fees.
- To prevent unwanted TRX burns, the Platform will skip automated operations when your bandwidth is below the safety threshold.
- The Platform may automatically allocate a portion of your stake to bandwidth to ensure sufficient transaction capacity.
- If configured by the Platform administrator, bandwidth may be temporarily delegated from operations wallets to cover critical operations.
You can configure your bandwidth reserve preference in your supplier settings. The Platform monitors bandwidth levels and will alert you if your bandwidth falls below safe operating thresholds.
9. Exit and Withdrawal of Permission
You may exit the Platform at any time:
- Navigate to your supplier dashboard and initiate the Exit flow.
- The Platform will undelegate all active resources, unstake your TRX, and return your funds to liquid state.
- You will need to sign an AccountPermissionUpdate transaction to revoke the Platform Permission.
- Any outstanding Payable Balance (net of Reward Fee Debt) will be paid out on the next scheduled settlement after exit.
- Outstanding Reward Fee Debt at time of exit will be deducted from your final payout. If insufficient Payable Balance exists to cover outstanding debt, the remaining debt is forgiven at Platform discretion.
9. Amendments
The Platform reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time. Material changes (including changes to fee rates, service scope, or permission requirements) will be communicated with at least 30 days’ notice. Continuing to use the Platform after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the amended terms. Non-material changes (clarifications, formatting, legal boilerplate) may take effect immediately.
Current terms version and history are maintained in the Platform’s public documentation.
10. Governing Law and Disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction as published on the Platform website. Any disputes arising from this Agreement shall first be attempted to be resolved through Platform support channels. The Platform’s liability is limited to the amount of fees paid to the Platform in the 90 days preceding the dispute.
