TRX Staking & Energy Delegation APY — What's Real in 2026
Searching "TRX staking APY" usually leads to vague or outdated numbers. Here's what you can actually earn today, pulled from live active orders across 5+ TRON energy marketplaces — not a static claim.
Delegating unused Energy from your staked TRX to marketplace renters currently averages 10% APY across active providers, with typical listings ranging 6.1%–13.3%. This is separate from native TRX voting rewards, currently around 3.3% APR at the best-paying elected SR — see the difference below.
"TRX staking APY" vs "Energy delegation APY" — not the same thing
Most search results conflate these two, but they're different mechanisms with very different returns:
Native TRX staking Low yield
Voting for a Super Representative pays block-reward-based voting rewards. This is what most generic "staking APY" articles describe. Right now, the best-paying elected SR passes on 3.3% APR to voters (OrionMind) — it fluctuates with total network vote weight and each SR's own brokerage cut.
Energy delegation Higher yield
Your staked TRX (Stake 2.0) generates Energy/Bandwidth daily whether you use it or not. Delegating the unused portion to renters on a marketplace pays you directly for that resource — this is what actually drives the 6.1–13.3%+ figures.
The two stack: voting for an SR and delegating your resulting Energy are not mutually exclusive — you can earn both on the same frozen TRX. This page focuses on the delegation side, which is what TronScan.energy aggregates.
Live APY by provider
| Provider | Avg APY | Range | Active offers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feee.io | 11.8% | 11.7%–11.8% | 11 |
| TronEnergize | 11.1% | 10.4%–13% | 5 |
| TronEnergy.Market | 9.8% | 8.5%–12.9% | 78 |
| TronBid | 9.2% | 7.4%–13.3% | 8 |
| Tronify | 8.1% | 6.1%–11.7% | 9 |
Sub-day (a few hours) orders are excluded from these averages — very short durations produce inflated annualized figures that aren't representative of a sustained rate.
How to start earning
If you have TRX staked via Stake 2.0 and aren't using all the Energy or Bandwidth it generates, that unused capacity resets to zero every 24 hours whether you delegate it or not — it's value that evaporates by default.
