Energy just got cheaper on TRON and that matters for how you operate.
#JustLendDAO has reduced the Energy Rental base rate from 15 percent to 8 percent. Since Energy Rental allows users to rent resources instead of staking TRX, this change lowers the cost of sustained on chain activity and makes execution more predictable.
→ What the numbers look like
At the new rate, 100,000 Energy costs about 5.673 TRX per day, roughly 56 SUN. This translates protocol mechanics into something usable for budgeting. If you run bots, relayers, or automated strategies, multiply this daily cost by active addresses or runtime to estimate monthly spend.
→ Who benefits most
Traders and market makers see lower per trade overhead and wider execution windows.
Builders and dApp teams face less friction when testing and onboarding users.
Bridge operators and relayers gain more predictable cross chain unit economics.
DAOs and treasuries can stretch operational budgets further.
→ How to take advantage
Active traders can cautiously increase execution frequency and measure net PnL.
Market makers may justify tighter spreads or adjusted sizing.
Builders can test batching writes or expanding background jobs, then validate impact.
DAOs can allocate small energy budgets to onboarding or GasFree style experiences.
→ Risk and ops notes
Energy pricing can change, so build buffers into budgets. Track TRX and SUN spend per address and ensure workflows can pause gracefully if conditions tighten.
→ What to do now
Simulate expected usage on the Energy Rental page and start with a controlled test. Measure for a week, review results, then scale where the data supports it.

Bottom line
An 8 percent base rate makes active on chain execution cheaper and more predictable across TRON. Use this window to optimize operations and improve UX, but only with clear metrics and disciplined sizing.
