How seller earnings are calculated on TRXWatt
As a seller you stake TRX into the pool and earn from three things at once: SR node-staking rewards (your stake keeps voting), energy-rental income (buyers pay to use your Energy), minus the 30% platform commission. The table below estimates the resulting APY across stake sizes and pool utilization.
Estimated APY by stake & utilization

Each cell shows the seller APY, you = your annual TRX, and fee = the platform’s 30% commission on that stake. Assumptions: 10 Energy/TRX/day, 100 sun/E burn price, buyers pay 50 sun/E and you receive 35 sun/E (30% commission), ~3.24% node-staking (voting) reward, TRX ≈ $0.33. APY is a rate, so it’s the same for every stake size — only the TRX/USD amounts scale. Live values differ; see the sell-page estimator and stats. Estimate only, not a guarantee.
Where the APY comes from
- Node staking (SR voting): ~3.24%, flat. Delegating Energy doesn’t move your TRON Power, so your stake keeps voting for a Super Representative and earning voting rewards even at 0% rental utilization. (Current on-chain rate per StakingRewards.)
- Energy sell (rental): up to 12.8% × utilization. Each TRX staked generates ~10 Energy/day; you receive 35 sun/E (net of commission), so that’s 12.8% APR at full utilization, scaling linearly with how much of your Energy is rented.
- Platform commission: 30%. Already deducted above — buyers pay 50 sun/E, you receive 35 sun/E, the platform keeps 15 sun/E.
How earnings are split across stakers
There’s no matching of individual buyers to individual sellers. All income — rental payments and voting rewards, net of the 30% commission — flows into one shared pool and is split pro-rata by your share of the total staked TRX. Every staked wallet earns from the whole pool.
your earnings = (your stake ÷ total staked) × pool earnings
Example: stake 10,000 TRX into a pool that totals 500,000 TRX and you hold a 2% share, so you receive 2% of every rental payment and voting-reward distribution. Stake more — or others unstake — and your share (and cut) rises automatically.
It’s enforced on-chain by a reward-per-share accumulator (accRewardPerShare): each payout bumps a running per-share figure, and your claimable balance is your stake × the increase since your last deposit. That makes distribution O(1) and fair by time in the pool — depositing right before a payout can’t skim rewards that accrued before you joined — and you can claim anytime.
Utilization is the lever: unrented Energy regenerates and is wasted daily, so rental income is pure upside on idle TRX. Principal is subject to the ~14-day unstake cooldown; earnings can be claimed anytime.
