Staking (Freezing) TRX
Locking up TRX to obtain Energy or Bandwidth. Staking gives you a steady resource supply but ties up capital — unlike renting, which is pay-per-use.
When you stake (freeze) TRX under Stake 2.0, you receive Energy and Bandwidth proportional to the amount locked, plus voting rights. Unstaking returns your TRX after a waiting period.
Staking makes sense if you send constantly and want a permanent resource base. For occasional or bursty sending, renting the exact Energy a transfer needs is usually cheaper overall, because it doesn't tie up a TRX balance that swings with the market.
