How to Choose the Peroid of Tron Energy Rental

How to Choose the Duration for Tron Energy Rentals and Why Renting for 1 Day is the Most Cost-Effective

Many people are gradually renting Tron energy before transferring USDT, which effectively reduces the USDT transfer fee. But when faced with various rental durations, how should you choose? There are options for 1 hour, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, one week, half a month, one month, and even claims of unlimited duration. If you want to save on fees, please continue reading.

First, let’s talk about 1 hour rentals. The price for 1 hour is cheap; for example, on the mefree.net energy rental platform, renting 32,000 energy for 1 hour only costs 3 TRX. This is suitable for those who want a lower price and can estimate their USDT transaction volume within 1 hour. For example, Mr. Wang expects to make 10 USDT transfers within the next hour. He can transfer 30 TRX to mefree.net and receive 320,000 energy. The advantage of renting for 1 hour is low cost and flexibility. The disadvantage is that the time is too short, not suitable for renting a large amount at once, and you can only rent based on the actual situation, which may be inconvenient for customers.

Now, let’s talk about renting for 1 day. I can tell you that renting for 1 day is the most cost-effective option. Buckle up, this will be a fast ride, and you may want to grab a pen and paper to do some calculations if necessary. On the mefree.net energy rental platform, the price for renting energy for 1 day is 5 TRX. Renting for 1 day means that the energy is valid for 24 hours from the time of distribution. Why is renting for 1 day the most cost-effective? This is where the Tron mechanism comes into play. If you’ve been observant as a Tron user, you may have noticed that after Tron energy is depleted, the value starts increasing every minute and second. This is because the Tron mechanism is designed to fully recover energy within 24 hours after depletion. Still with me?

For example, let’s say on September 6th at 11:30 AM, you rented 32,000 energy for 1 day. Then, at 11:31 AM, you used up 32,000 energy for a USDT transfer. According to the Tron mechanism, energy starts to recover immediately after being used up and is fully restored within 24 hours. So, on September 7th at 11:31 AM, your energy will be back to 32,000. You might be thinking, “Wait, my energy expired at 11:30 AM, why are you talking about it?” But what if you used it before our energy recovery? Let’s do a little math here. There are 24 hours in a day, which means there are 48 half-hour intervals. Let’s calculate how much energy you would have recovered by 11:01 AM on September 7th, just 30 minutes before the recovery. 32,000 ÷ 48 × (48-1) ≈ 31,333 energy. Even though you were 562 energy short for a single USDT transfer with a fee of 31,895 energy, that’s only about 0.2 TRX. In other words, by renting 1 day of energy for 1 transaction, you can effectively use it for 2 transactions.

Remember, energy starts recovering after it’s used up. Renting energy for 1 hour is essentially about recovering energy and then renting it out again to the next customer after 24 hours. If you understood the math above, the examples below will make even more sense.

Example 1:

On September 6th at 11:30 AM, I rented 20 transactions' worth of 1-day energy, which means I rented 640,000 energy with a validity period of 24 hours. I was busy with my business and used up all 20 transactions by 11:40 AM. That means starting from 11:40 AM, I could recover 26,667 energy every hour, based on this recovery rate. This means I could make at least 1 more transaction every 2 hours. Calculating with 1.5 transactions every 2 hours, before the energy expired and was recovered, I could actually make 1.5 × 12 = 18 transactions. So, renting 20 transactions' worth of energy allows you to make 38 transactions within 24 hours.

Example 2:

On September 6th at 11:30 AM, I rented 20 transactions' worth of 1-day energy, which means I rented 640,000 energy with a validity period of 24 hours. I used 10 transactions' worth of energy by 12:30 PM, which means starting from 12 PM, I could recover 320,000 (the energy value of 10 transactions) ÷ 24 ≈ 13,333 energy every hour. This meant I could make 1 more transaction every 3 hours. At 6:30 PM, I used the remaining 10 transactions' worth of energy. After that, the energy recovery rate per hour was 26,666 (recovery from the previous 10 transactions) + 13,333 (recovery every hour after using up energy at 18:30) ≈ 26,666 energy. This means, before the energy was recovered, I could make approximately 14.75 transactions, considering the time from 18:30 to 11:30 the next day. This is equivalent to renting 20 transactions' worth of energy and making 34-35 transactions within 24 hours.

The above two examples illustrate that energy starts recovering after it’s used up. And the data is rounded for easier calculation and understanding in terms of time and number of transactions.

What about 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, or one month? Let’s take the example of buying energy for 3 days. In reality, you receive 32,000 energy, but it’s pledged for 3 days, and you can only use it after 3 days. For instance, if you rented 32,000 energy for 3 days at 11:30 AM, and used it by 11:32 AM, you would need to wait until 11:32 AM the following day to have 32,000 energy available again. Now, what if you rented it day by day? Again, you receive 32,000 energy, and if you used it up by 11:30 AM, as per the tutorial above, you would have around 31,333 energy available at 11:00 AM the next day. That means you could start transferring U at that point. The energy would expire at 11:30 AM, but you’d have already made 2 transactions. Later, if you need to transfer USDT again, you can rent 32,000 energy for 1 day. So, 32,000 energy rented day by day allows you to potentially make 4 transactions over 2 days.

Now, what about those claiming to offer unlimited duration for energy rentals? Well, if you’ve read my previous articles, you know that so-called unlimited duration energy rentals are actually deceiving. Any energy rental platform with duration-based

rentals immediately distributes the energy you rent. But with unlimited duration energy rentals, you need to pre-deposit, and let’s say you buy 100 transactions' worth. They typically pledge 64,000 energy to your address, which covers the cost of 2 transactions. They then monitor your USDT outgoing transactions. If you make a transfer, they promptly add back the energy you used. This doesn’t happen instantly, and you don’t receive the full amount of energy upfront.

This article might be a bit complex and intricate. If you understand it, great. If not, just consider it my musings. Also, every transaction mentioned here is based on 32,000 energy as the standard. If the receiving party for your USDT transfer doesn’t have USDT, it will consume 64,895 energy, which is equivalent to the cost of 2 transactions.
