How does the Tron network work?

 

The blockchain operates as a decentralized platform using the Delegated Proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, where “TRX” holders vote for block producers or super representatives, they are responsible for validating transactions. The super representatives are changed every 6 hours and votes will be counted for every 6 hours.

 

Tron utilizes bandwidth points as payments, by default each user has 600 bandwidth points, which equals 600 bytes of data. Transactions are measured by their size in bytes. If it requires more bytes, then users need to purchase the required amount of bandwidth by staking TRX.

 

Stakers earn checkpoint submission rewards for providing a snapshot of the blockchain state, as well as transaction fees, The amount staked also enhances their voting power to elect 27 super representatives, these nodes are responsible for proposing blocks eliminating the need for traditional mining or solving puzzles. Nodes can also distribute rewards for partners who are not elected to be among 27 Super Representatives, setting a “Brokerage ratio” in wallets to distribute rewards helping them to receive votes during the election.

 

Vote rewards are 160TRX/block for block, every 3 seconds block being generated.
