Tutorial | TRON Ecosystem Full Chain Revenue Guide: From Energy Leasing to Advanced Strategy Practice

In today's diversified public chain ecosystem, TRON is becoming an increasingly important choice for more and more investors to allocate assets, thanks to its comprehensive yield advantages in the DeFi ecosystem, stablecoins, and platform tokens.

Currently, the risk-free yield rate of stablecoins on the TRON chain can reach 8%, significantly higher than the 3%-5% level of other mainstream public chains, while its platform token TRX has consistently maintained a staking yield rate of about 6.88%. At the same time, data from CoinGecko shows that the TRX price has achieved a 78% annual increase, forming a dual advantage of "yield + appreciation."

This performance is attributed to the solid ecological foundation of TRON. As the world's largest stablecoin circulation network, TRON carries more than half of the global USDT issuance, injecting ample liquidity into the ecosystem. Its core protocol JustLend DAO provides users with a continuous and stable high-yield entry through lending and TRX staking functions. Meanwhile, core protocols such as JustLend DAO, SUN.io, USDD, and SunPerp are deeply integrated through functions like staking, lending, and trading, weaving together a closely collaborative DeFi ecological network that drives the continuous circulation of intrinsic value.

On this basis, investors can participate in TRON's ecological yield through systematic investment strategies. From the basic wallet configuration and asset preparation to the core operations of stablecoin deposits and TRX staking, and then to advanced yield strategy combinations, the TRON ecosystem has a complete path for obtaining yields. The subsequent operation guide will elaborate on specific operational steps and methods, providing practical configuration references for investors.

1. JustLend DAO Energy Rental

In the TRON network, any on-chain interaction requires the consumption of "energy," which is the basic resource for executing smart contracts and transfer operations. Regarding transaction fees on the TRON chain, if users have a high frequency of transactions, they can rent energy at the Energy Rental center on JustLend DAO. After obtaining energy, the on-chain transaction fees paid for each transaction can be significantly reduced, saving considerable costs. This model is not only flexible and efficient, precisely meeting the interaction needs of short-term high-frequency users, but it can also significantly reduce the cost of obtaining energy, helping users "save as they rent," greatly improving the efficiency of capital usage.

User Operation Guide

• Preparation Phase: Visit the JustLend DAO official website (https://justlend.org/) and connect a wallet plugin that supports the TRON network, such as TronLink, switching to the TRON mainnet.

• Rent Energy

1. First, go to the "Energy Rental" page from the JustLend DAO navigation page.

2. Enter the desired amount of energy to rent and the rental duration; the system will automatically calculate the required pre-deposit TRX, the TRX to be refunded upon termination, and the number of supported transactions in real-time, allowing users to rent as needed. After confirming, click "Rent Now" and authorize in the wallet.

3. After a successful rental, the order will automatically appear on the right side of the "Current Order" page.

• Return Energy

Users need to return the energy before the rental period ends; otherwise, part of the deposit will be refunded. Click the "End" button in the order, and the pop-up page will display the refund amount. After confirming it is correct, click "Confirm" and authorize in the wallet to end the rental.

Once sufficient energy is ensured in the account, users can carry out subsequent operations such as lending, staking, and adding liquidity at a lower cost, or achieve asset appreciation through circular arbitrage.

2. JustLend DAO Lending Operation Steps

In the TRON ecosystem, JustLend DAO, as the official lending protocol, is not only the core platform for users to lend and stake TRX but also the central hub for all DeFi activities in the ecosystem. As of November 3, data shows that the deposit scale of JustLend DAO (Top 3 tokens) reached $3.5 billion, and the borrowing scale (Top 3 tokens) was $120 million. These figures confirm its vitality and leading advantage as a top protocol in the TRON ecosystem.

User Operation Guide

• Preparation Phase

1. Visit the JustLend DAO official website (https://justlend.org/), and connect a wallet that supports the TRON network, such as TronLink.

2. In the platform's "SBM" interface, you can see the list of various assets supported by the platform, such as TRX, USDT, USDD, etc.

• Make a Deposit

1. Choose the token you want to deposit, such as USDT, click Supply, enter the token amount in the pop-up page, click "Approve USDT," and sign authorization in the wallet.

2. Withdraw Deposit: On the Supply page, click to switch to "Withdraw" to perform the withdrawal operation. Enter the amount of tokens you want to withdraw, click the "Withdraw" button below, and authorize in the wallet.

• Make a Loan

1. Collateralize Assets: If users need to borrow a certain asset from JustLend, they must first deposit on JustLend, then collateralize the stored tokens to borrow any supported asset from the protocol, with the interest rate determined by the utilization rate of the protocol (the percentage of current borrowed liquidity to total liquidity). After depositing, users can click the "Open" button in the "My Positions" section at the top of the SBM page to collateralize the assets.

2. Make a Loan: In the SBM market, select the asset you want to borrow, click the "Borrow" button, enter the loan amount, and confirm the transaction in the wallet. Note that borrowing has collateralization requirements, and users need to monitor and maintain a healthy collateral level to avoid liquidation risks.

3. Repay: In the SBM market, select the asset you want to repay, click the "Borrow" button, switch to the "Repay" page, enter the repayment amount, confirm it is correct, click the "Repay" button below, and authorize in the wallet.

3. USDD Collateral to Earn Yield Operation

As a decentralized stablecoin at the core of the TRON ecosystem, USDD builds a unique high-yield channel for users through its innovative over-collateralization mechanism and deep ecological integration. Its circulation has exceeded $410 million. Users can directly hold its yield-bearing token sUSDD to easily obtain about 12% annualized yield, or participate in advanced strategies through sTRX Vault: stake TRX to obtain sTRX (approximately 6.88% annualized yield), then collateralize sTRX to mint USDD, and deposit it into the JustLend DAO protocol for secondary yield. This combination strategy can push the comprehensive annualized yield rate of TRX beyond 13%.

User Operation Guide

• Beginner Operation: Stake USDD

Staking USDD will yield sUSDD, which is a yield-bearing token that automatically earns interest for holding sUSDD. Users can withdraw funds at any time without waiting for a lock-up period.

1. Preparation Phase: Enter the USDD official platform (https://usdd.io/) on the "Earn" page, select the Ethereum/BNB chain network, and connect the wallet.

2. Stake USDD: Enter the amount of USDD you want to stake in the input box on the right, click the "Deposit" button below, and confirm the transaction in the wallet. After the transaction is confirmed, the left box on the page will display the sUSDD balance and the corresponding USDD value. Over time, the USDD value of sUSDD will automatically increase, reflecting the earnings obtained.

3. Withdraw USDD: Upon withdrawal, users will receive the initial deposit plus accumulated earnings. In the right "Withdraw" section, enter the amount of USDD to withdraw, click the "Withdraw" button below, and confirm the transaction in the wallet. After confirmation, sUSDD will be burned, and the corresponding amount of USDD will be received in the wallet.

• Advanced Operation: Mint USDD through sTRX and then stake for yield

1. Stake TRX to earn yield: In the "Staked TRX" interface of JustLend DAO, enter the amount of TRX you want to stake, click "Stake Now," and stake TRX to obtain the liquid staking certificate sTRX. This process will generate staking yield for TRX, with an annualized yield of approximately 6.88%.

2. Mint USDD: Visit the USDD official platform, find the sTRX option on the Vault page, and click the "Mint" button.

Use the held sTRX as collateral to mint USDD. In the "Deposit sTRX" input box, enter the amount of sTRX you want to deposit and authorize confirmation in the wallet. Note that the minimum minting amount for USDD is 2000, requiring at least approximately 8,806.028 sTRX to mint. This process is over-collateralized, and it is important to maintain a stable collateralization rate.

3. Stake USDD to earn yield: After successfully minting USDD, you can deposit it back into the USDD deposit market of JustLend DAO to earn deposit interest (see the specific operation steps in the second part of this tutorial). Through the combination strategy of "staking TRX to earn sTRX yield + minting USDD and depositing to earn interest yield," users can achieve an overall annualized yield rate of over 13%, which may even be higher during active market conditions.

4. SUN.io Liquidity Operations

As the flagship one-stop DeFi platform of the TRON ecosystem, SUN.io has consistently ranked among the top three in the TRON ecosystem and among the leading DEX tracks globally in terms of TVL. SUN.io integrates professional stablecoin exchange engine SunCurve, decentralized token exchange SunSwap, and decentralized perpetual contract trading platform SunPerp, providing users with an efficient and low-cost trading experience.

User Operation Guide

• Preparation Phase: Visit the SUN.io official website (https://sun.io/), and connect a wallet that supports the TRON network, such as TronLink.

• Add Liquidity to the Pool

1. Select "Earn" > "Pool" to enter the "Liquidity Pools" interface.

2. Choose the trading pair you want to add liquidity to, such as TRX/USDT, and click the "Add Liquidity" button.

3. Enter the amount of assets you want to provide in the input box; the other input box will automatically fill in the value based on the exchange rate between the two tokens. Then, set the price range in the left box and select an appropriate fee tier. Click "Supply" and authorize in the wallet.

• Add Liquidity to the Stablecoin Pool

1. In the navigation bar, select "Trade" > "SunCurve" to enter the add liquidity page and choose the liquidity pool you want to add.

2. Enter the amount of tokens you want to add in the input box, click the "Deposit" button below, and confirm authorization in the wallet.

5. SunPerp USDT Stablecoin Staking

SunPerp is a decentralized perpetual contract trading market in the TRON ecosystem that allows users to stake USDT, currently offering an annualized yield of up to 10%. Staking users can easily obtain passive income, as the platform will automatically distribute earnings based on account asset snapshots, with no lock-up restrictions, not affecting trading.

User Operation Guide

1. Preparation: Visit the SunPerp official website (https://www.sunperp.com/) and connect a wallet (such as TronLink), then enter the "Staking" page.

2. Staking: Click the "Deposit" button in the upper right corner, enter the amount of USDT you want to stake in the pop-up window, click the "Approve And Deposit" button to stake, and confirm authorization in the wallet. After successful staking, the Staking page will automatically display the account balance.

3. Claim Earnings: Rewards will be distributed in USDT on T+2 day at 09:00 (UTC). For example, if a user deposits USDT on January 1, the asset snapshot will be taken on January 2 to calculate earnings, and rewards will be distributed on January 3 at 17:00 (UTC+8). Click the "Claim Reward" button below to claim the earnings.

Thus, investors can systematically master the entire operational process of basic resource preparation and advanced yield strategies in the TRON ecosystem. From JustLend DAO's energy rental and deposit-lending yield to the stable staking and advanced minting of USDD, and then to liquidity provision on SUN.io and derivative earnings on SunPerp, the TRON ecosystem, with its rich and interconnected product matrix, has built a value closed loop characterized by high yield, high liquidity, and low transaction costs for market participants.

With the continuous evolution of blockchain technology, TRON, relying on its solid ecological foundation and continuous innovative vitality, is constantly expanding the yield boundaries of digital assets. It is recommended that investors flexibly use the operational methods in this guide, starting with a small amount of assets, gradually building an asset allocation portfolio that aligns with their risk preferences, and steadily participating in this decentralized financial value practice.
