Tokenomie pentru Tron (TRX)

TRON (TRX) utilizes a complex economic model designed to balance network utility, governance, and long-term sustainability. Since its transition to a mainnet in 2018, the protocol has evolved from an inflationary model to a deflationary one, driven by high network activity and strategic token burns.

Issuance Mechanism

TRX issuance is primarily managed through the network's Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. New tokens are minted as rewards for the 27 Super Representatives (SRs) who produce blocks.

• Block Rewards: For every new block produced (approximately every three seconds), the protocol generates a block reward of 16 TRX.
• Voting Rewards: In addition to block rewards, a voting reward of 160 TRX is generated per block. These rewards are shared among Super Representatives, Super Representative Partners, and the stakers who vote for them.
• Dynamic Parameters: Both block and voting rewards are dynamic and can be modified through committee proposals and on-chain governance.
• Deflationary Transition: On April 6, 2021, TRON transitioned to a deflationary model. This was achieved by implementing TRON Improvement Proposal 51 (TIP-51), which increased the cost of resources (bandwidth and energy). When users consume more resources than they have available through staking, TRX is burned to cover the cost. In Q4 2024 alone, approximately 414.98 million TRX were net burned.

Allocation Mechanism

The initial allocation of TRX was established during its ERC-20 phase on the Ethereum network before the mainnet launch.

Note: Percentages are based on the initial total supply of 100 billion tokens. Some sources indicate the TRON Foundation and team held approximately 34.3% of the supply following these sales.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

TRX serves as the fundamental unit of account and medium of exchange within the TRON ecosystem.

Resource Model

The network uses a dual-resource model to manage computation and storage:

• Bandwidth: Measures the size of transaction bytes. Each account receives a small amount of free daily bandwidth.
• Energy: Measures the computation required by the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM) for smart contracts.
• Acquisition: Users obtain these resources by staking TRX. If resources are insufficient, TRX is burned at a set unit price (e.g., 0.00042 TRX per unit of energy as of late 2022) to execute the transaction.

Incentives

• Staking Rewards: Users who stake TRX receive "TRON Power," which grants voting rights. By voting for SRs, stakers earn a portion of the 160 TRX voting reward per block, minus the SR's chosen commission (default is 20%).
• Governance: Staking allows users to participate in the election of the 27 Super Representatives who govern the network and produce blocks.
• Ecosystem Utility: TRX is used for account creation fees, as collateral in DeFi lending markets (like JustLend), and as a unit of account in NFT marketplaces.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

TRON's locking mechanisms are primarily tied to its staking and governance systems, as well as the initial vesting of foundation tokens.

• Staking Lock: To obtain resources (Bandwidth/Energy) or TRON Power, users must "freeze" or stake their TRX. While the specific minimum lock duration has evolved, staking generally requires a commitment of tokens to the network to receive rewards and utility.
• Foundation Unlocks: The TRON Foundation's allocation was subject to a vesting schedule. A significant milestone occurred on January 1, 2020, when 33 billion TRX held by the foundation were unlocked.
• Historical Events: At the launch of the TRON mainnet on June 25, 2018, 1.00 billion TRX (1% of the initial supply) were manually burned to celebrate the transition.
• Recent Data: On-chain metrics from late 2017 recorded a significant unlock event of approximately 86.22 billion TRX, which represented roughly 91.03% of the circulating supply at that time.

As of late 2025, the circulating supply has remained relatively stable at approximately 95.6 billion TRX, with the deflationary burn mechanism offsetting the new issuance from block rewards.
