SR Voting & Rewards

Participate in network consensus and earn passive income through Super Representative (SR) Voting. Learn how to evaluate the top 27 block-producing nodes, allocate your TRON Power effectively, and claim staking rewards in our comprehensive guide to TRON’s DPoS economy.

The SR Hierarchy

Tier	Count	How selected	Earns
Super Representatives	27	Top 27 by total vote count	Block rewards + vote rewards
SR Partners	100	Ranks 28–127 by vote count	Portion of vote rewards only
SR Candidates	Unlimited	Any registered address	No rewards

Only the top 27 SRs produce blocks. All 127 (SRs + SR Partners) share the vote reward pool proportionally to their vote count.

Where Rewards Come From

Every block on TRON generates two pools of rewards:

Reward type	Amount per block	Recipient
Block reward	8 TRX	The SR who produced that block
Vote reward	128 TRX	Distributed to all top 127 SRs proportional to their vote share

Network Parameters

These rewards are Network Parameters and are subject to change via Super Representative governance proposals. The current values reflect the deflationary adjustments implemented in June 2025.

SRs pass a portion of these rewards to their voters. The percentage they pass back is called the reward ratio (sometimes “brokerage ratio”). It ranges from 0% (SR keeps everything) to 100% (voters keep everything). Most competitive SRs set their ratio at 20–80% to attract votes.

Your voter reward = your share of votes to that SR × that SR’s vote rewards × SR’s reward ratio

How to Vote

Prerequisite: frozen TRX

You must have TRX staked (frozen) to have TRON Power (TP) for voting. Freezing 1 TRX = 1 TP. See the Staking guide if you have not yet frozen any TRX.

Via TRONSCAN

1. Open tronscan.org and connect your wallet.
2. Navigate to Blockchain → Votes (or search “Vote” in the top nav).
3. The SR list appears, showing each SR’s current vote count, rank, reward ratio, and uptime.
4. Click Vote next to an SR. Enter the number of TP you want to allocate. You can split across multiple SRs.
5. Review your vote allocation summary and click Confirm Votes.
6. Sign the transaction in TronLink. The vote transaction costs no Energy or TRX — it consumes only a small amount of Bandwidth.

Via TronLink

TronLink’s mobile and desktop interfaces include a built-in Staking/Vote section. The flow is identical: select SRs from the list, allocate TP, confirm.

Votes take effect at the next maintenance period (the 6-second event at the end of each 6-hour Epoch). You will begin accumulating rewards starting with the next Epoch.

Evaluating Super Representatives

Not all SRs are equal. Before voting, evaluate these factors:

Reward ratio

Higher ratio = more of the reward passes to you. Check each SR’s declared ratio on TRONSCAN. Some SRs offer 100% to voters.

Block production rate

An SR that misses blocks doesn’t earn block rewards to share. TRONSCAN shows each SR’s blocks produced vs. missed over time.

Vote count and rank stability

An SR near the rank 27/28 boundary can drop out of block production if their votes shift. Votes to a dropped SR earn only partial rewards.

Transparency

Does the SR have a public website, social presence, and published node specifications? Infrastructure-grade SRs with known operators are lower risk.

Claiming Your Rewards

Rewards accumulate continuously but are not automatically added to your balance. You must claim them manually.

1. In TRONSCAN, go to your address page → Staking tab → Rewards section.
2. The unclaimed reward amount is displayed in TRX.
3. Click Claim Rewards and confirm the transaction.
4. Rewards are credited to your available TRX balance immediately.

There is no penalty for claiming infrequently. Rewards accumulate indefinitely until withdrawn. Many users claim weekly or monthly to minimize transaction overhead.

Rewards do not auto-compound

Claimed TRX is added to your available balance, not automatically re-staked. If you want to compound your stake, you need to manually freeze the claimed TRX again.

---

Changing Your Votes

You can change your vote allocation at any time. The new allocation takes effect at the next available maintenance period (at the end of the current 6-hour Epoch).

• Switching votes from one SR to another costs no TRX — just a small Bandwidth cost
• You can reduce votes to an SR to zero, effectively removing your vote from them
• Your total TP cannot exceed your frozen TRX amount

---

SR Registration

Running a Super Representative is a technical commitment. Registered candidates must:

• Deposit 9,999 TRX as a registration fee (non-refundable if deregistered)
• Operate a TRON full node meeting network specifications
• Maintain high uptime and block production rates to retain votes

The registration fee and infrastructure cost act as a minimum commitment barrier. Only addresses that have registered as SR candidates appear on the voting list.

Reward Calculation Example

Scenario: You have frozen 1,000 TRX, giving you 1,000 TP. You vote for an SR ranked #10, with 1.7 billion total votes and a 70% reward ratio.

Your share of that SR’s votes: 1,000 / 1,700,000,000 = 0.0000588%

Daily vote rewards to that SR (approximate, based on 28,800 blocks/day): 28,800 blocks × 128 TRX/block × (1.7B / 44B network votes) ≈ 142,405 TRX/day

Your daily reward = your vote share × SR’s vote rewards × 70% reward ratio 0.0000588% × 142,405 TRX × 70% ≈ 0.0586 TRX/day

In practice, 1,000 TRX staked earns approximately 0.06–0.1 TRX per day (which equates to roughly 3–5% APY) depending on the SR chosen, network conditions, and current TRX price/volume. To get a precise, real-time estimate based on live network data, use our Staking Rewards Estimator.
