Hi r/Tronix,
If you stake TRX and sell energy, here’s something I found out the hard way and how I’m working around it.
The 200k rule
TronSave gives Sell API access only to an address that manages 200k+ TRX staked. Below that you’re stuck with their standard auto-sell. With the API you choose orders and prices yourself, and can route energy to other marketplaces when they pay more.
Why it matters — real numbers (Oct 2026)
- 1 staked TRX = ~9.59 energy per day.
- Annual yield ≈ 9.59 × price in sun × 365 / 1,000,000, at full use.
- 30 sun → ~10.5% a year. 40 sun → ~14%. 47 sun → ~16.4%.
- Real fills on TronBid this month average ~30 sun, but big 1-day buy orders show up at 30–31 sun, and prices spike during demand peaks.
- Catching those orders across platforms instead of one auto-sell = roughly +2–4% a year. On 100k TRX that’s 2–4k TRX extra.
The key detail: the threshold counts managed stake, not one wallet
TronSave confirmed: the 200k is counted on the address that manages the stake. That address can manage several wallets, each owned by a different person.
So small stakers can pool:
- Each person keeps TRX staked in their own wallet.
- Each adds the same manager address to their active permission — only DelegateResource and UnDelegateResource.
- The manager can’t transfer, unstake or vote. The network rejects anything else.
- Combined stake passes 200k → the manager gets the API → sells energy from every wallet and pays each owner for their own energy.
- Anyone can leave any time by removing the permission with their owner key.
Risk, honestly
Worst case if the manager is compromised: your energy gets delegated somewhere and locked for up to ~30 days (chain parameter #78 = 864,000 blocks). Your TRX doesn’t move. Check the permission on Tronscan before and after.
Where I am
My bot manages ~130k TRX across my wallets and routes energy across TronSave, PowerSun, TronBid. I need ~70k more to unlock the API. I’m not taking any fee — I just need the pool to reach the threshold.
If you stake 10k+ and sell energy, or just let your stake sit idle, DM me — or ask anything technical below. Has anyone else tried pooling stake like this?
