Account Activation

New TRON wallets must be activated before use. Send TRX or TRC-10 tokens to the new address to activate it. Activation costs 1 TRX plus bandwidth fees.
TRC-20 tokens (USDT, USDC) do not activate accounts. You must send TRX or TRC-10 tokens first.

​
Network Fees

TRON uses bandwidth and energy instead of gas fees.

  • Purchasing energy on MPCVault: 6 TRX for 65,000 energy
