TRON Chain Asset Yield Tutorial
From basic wallet setup and asset preparation, to core operations like stablecoin deposits and TRX staking, and further to advanced yield strategies, the TRON ecosystem offers a complete path for earning yields.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsIn today's diverse public blockchain ecosystem, TRON has become an increasingly important asset allocation choice for investors due to its comprehensive yield advantages in DeFi, stablecoins, and platform tokens.
Currently, the risk-free yield of stablecoins on the TRON network can reach 8%, significantly higher than the 3%-5% levels seen on other major public blockchains. Its native token TRX consistently maintains a staking yield of approximately 6.88%. Meanwhile, CoinGecko data shows that TRX achieved a year-on-year price increase of 78%, creating a dual advantage of "yield + appreciation."
This performance stems from TRON’s solid ecosystem foundation. As the world's largest stablecoin circulation network, TRON hosts over half of the global USDT issuance, injecting abundant liquidity into the ecosystem. Its core protocol JustLend DAO provides users with continuous and stable high-yield opportunities through lending and TRX staking. Moreover, key protocols such as JustLend DAO, SUN.io, USDD, and SunPerp are deeply integrated via staking, lending, and trading functions, forming a tightly interconnected DeFi network that drives continuous internal value circulation.
Based on this, investors can participate in TRON's ecosystem yields through systematic investment strategies. From basic wallet setup and asset preparation to core operations like stablecoin deposits and TRX staking, and further to advanced yield-boosting combinations, TRON offers a complete yield-generation pathway. The following guide will detail specific steps and methods, providing practical configuration references for investors.
1. JustLend DAO Energy Rental
On the TRON network, every on-chain interaction requires “Energy,” a fundamental resource needed to execute smart contracts and transfers. Regarding transaction fees on TRON, users who conduct frequent transactions can rent Energy through the Energy Rental center on JustLend DAO. After acquiring Energy, each on-chain transaction fee is significantly reduced, saving considerable costs. This model is not only flexible and efficient, precisely meeting the needs of short-term, high-frequency users, but also substantially lowers Energy acquisition costs, enabling users to “rent and save instantly” and greatly improving capital efficiency.
User Guide
l Preparation: Visit the JustLend DAO official website (https://justlend.org/) and connect a TRON-compatible wallet plugin such as TronLink, switching to the TRON mainnet.
l Renting Energy
1. First, navigate to the "Energy Rental" page from the JustLend DAO navigation menu.
2. Enter the desired amount of Energy and rental duration. The system will automatically calculate the required TRX deposit, refundable TRX upon return, and supported number of transactions. Users can rent according to their needs. After confirmation, click "Rent Now" and authorize in your wallet.
3. After successful rental, the order will automatically appear on the right-side "Current Order" page.
l Returning Energy
Users must return Energy before the rental period ends, otherwise part of the deposit will be forfeited. Click the "End" button in the order; the pop-up page will show the refund amount. After confirming accuracy, click "Confirm" and authorize termination in your wallet.
Once sufficient Energy is secured, users can proceed at lower cost with subsequent operations such as borrowing, staking, adding liquidity, or executing arbitrage loops to grow assets.
2. JustLend DAO Lending Operations
Within the TRON ecosystem, JustLend DAO serves as the official lending protocol and is not only the core platform for borrowing and TRX staking but also the central hub for all DeFi activities. Data from November 3 shows that JustLend DAO’s top three deposited assets totaled $3.5 billion, while borrowed assets reached $120 million. These figures confirm its vitality and leading position as a top-tier protocol within the TRON ecosystem.
User Guide
l Preparation
1. Visit the JustLend DAO official website (https://justlend.org/) and connect a TRON-compatible wallet such as TronLink.
2. On the platform's "SBM" interface, you’ll find a list of supported assets including TRX, USDT, and USDD.
l Making Deposits
1. Select the token you wish to deposit (e.g., USDT), click "Supply," enter the amount in the pop-up window, then click "Approve USDT" and sign the authorization in your wallet.
2. Withdrawing Deposits: On the Supply page, switch to the "Withdraw" tab to initiate withdrawal. Enter the amount you want to withdraw, click the "Withdraw" button below, and authorize in your wallet.
l Borrowing Assets
1. Collateralization: To borrow an asset from JustLend, users must first deposit and then collateralize their tokens on JustLend DAO. Once collateralized, they can borrow any supported asset with flexible repayment terms. Interest rates are determined by the protocol’s utilization rate (i.e., the percentage of borrowed liquidity relative to total available liquidity). After depositing, users can go to the "My Positions" section at the top of the SBM page and click "Enable" to collateralize their assets.
2. Initiating a Loan: In the SBM market, select the asset you want to borrow, click "Borrow," input the loan amount, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Note that loans have collateral ratio requirements; users must monitor and maintain a healthy collateral level to avoid liquidation risks.
3. Repayment: In the SBM market, select the asset you wish to repay, click "Borrow," switch to the "Repay" tab, enter the repayment amount, click the "Repay" button below after verification, and authorize in your wallet.
3. Earning Yield via USDD Staking
As a core decentralized stablecoin in the TRON ecosystem, USDD offers users a unique high-yield channel thanks to its innovative over-collateralization mechanism and deep ecosystem integration. Its circulating supply exceeds $410 million. Users can earn approximately 12% annualized yield simply by holding the interest-bearing token sUSDD. Alternatively, advanced users can employ a higher-yield strategy via the sTRX Vault: stake TRX to obtain sTRX (~6.88% annualized yield), then use sTRX as collateral to mint USDD, and deposit USDD into the JustLend DAO protocol for secondary yield generation. This combined strategy can push the overall annualized yield on TRX beyond 13%.
User Guide
l Beginner Operation: Staking USDD
By staking USDD, users receive sUSDD, an interest-bearing token that automatically accrues yield. Funds can be withdrawn at any time without lock-up periods.
1. Preparation: Access the official USDD platform (https://usdd.io/) and go to the "Earn" page. Select either Ethereum or BNB Chain network and connect your wallet.
2. Stake USDD: Enter the amount of USDD you wish to stake in the right input box, click "Deposit" below, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. After confirmation, the left panel will display your sUSDD balance and its equivalent USDD value. Over time, the USDD value of sUSDD will automatically increase, reflecting accrued earnings.
3. Withdraw USDD: Upon withdrawal, users receive their initial deposit plus accumulated earnings. In the right "Withdraw" section, enter the USDD amount to withdraw, click the "Withdraw" button below, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. After confirmation, sUSDD will be burned and the corresponding USDD will be sent to your wallet.
l Advanced Operation: Minting USDD with sTRX and Earning Yield
1. Stake TRX for Yield: On JustLend DAO's "Staked TRX" interface, enter the amount of TRX you wish to stake, click "Stake Now" to lock TRX and receive the liquid staking receipt sTRX. This process generates staking rewards at an annualized rate of about 6.88%.
2. Mint USDD: Visit the official USDD platform and locate the sTRX option on the Vault page, then click the "Mint" button.
Deposit your sTRX as collateral to mint USDD. Enter the amount of sTRX to deposit in the "Deposit sTRX" field and authorize confirmation in your wallet. Note that the minimum minting amount for USDD is 2,000, requiring at least approximately 8,806.028 sTRX to initiate minting. This is an over-collateralized process, so maintaining a stable collateral ratio is essential.
3. Earn Yield by Staking USDD: After successfully minting USDD, deposit it back into the USDD market on JustLend DAO to earn deposit interest (refer to Part Two of this guide for detailed steps). Through the combined strategy of “staking TRX to earn sTRX yield + minting and depositing USDD for interest,” users can achieve a total annualized yield exceeding 13%, potentially even higher during periods of high market activity.
4. Liquidity Operations on SUN.io
SUN.io, a flagship all-in-one DeFi platform in the TRON ecosystem, consistently ranks among the top three in TRON’s TVL and leads globally among DEX platforms. Integrating specialized modules such as the stablecoin exchange engine SunCurve, the decentralized token exchange SunSwap, and the decentralized perpetual futures exchange SunPerp, SUN.io delivers users an efficient and low-cost trading experience.
User Guide
l Preparation: Visit the SUN.io official website (https://sun.io/) and connect a TRON-compatible wallet such as TronLink.

l Adding Liquidity to Pools
1. Select "Earn" > "Pool" to access the "Liquidity Pools" interface.
2. Choose the trading pair you wish to provide liquidity for (e.g., TRX/USDT) and click "Add Liquidity."
3. Enter the amount of one asset in the input box; the other will be auto-filled based on the current exchange rate. Then set a price range in the left panel and choose an appropriate fee tier. Click "Supply" and authorize in your wallet.
l Adding Liquidity to Stablecoin Pools
1. From the navigation bar, select "Trade" > "SunCurve," go to the liquidity addition page, and choose the desired liquidity pool.
2. Enter the amount of tokens you wish to add in the input box, click the "Deposit" button below, and confirm authorization in your wallet.
5. SunPerp USDT Stablecoin Staking
SunPerp is a decentralized perpetual futures trading market within the TRON ecosystem that allows users to stake USDT, currently offering an annualized yield as high as 10%. Stakers earn passive income effortlessly, with the platform automatically distributing rewards based on account asset snapshots. There are no lock-up restrictions, and trading remains unaffected.
User Guide
1. Preparation: Visit the SunPerp official website (https://www.sunperp.com/), connect your wallet (e.g., TronLink), and go to the "Staking" page.
2. Staking: Click the "Deposit" button in the upper right corner, enter the amount of USDT you wish to stake in the pop-up window, then click "Approve And Deposit" and confirm authorization in your wallet. After successful staking, the Staking page will automatically display your account balance.
3. Claiming Rewards: Rewards are distributed in USDT form at 09:00 UTC on T+2 day. For example, if a user deposits USDT on January 1, an asset snapshot will be taken on January 2 to calculate earnings, and rewards will be distributed at 17:00 UTC+8 on January 3. Click the "Claim Reward" button below to claim your earnings.
To summarize, investors now have full command of the foundational resource setup and advanced yield-generation workflows within the TRON ecosystem. From JustLend DAO’s energy rental and lending yields, to USDD’s secure staking and advanced minting strategies, and further to liquidity provision on SUN.io and derivative yields on SunPerp, TRON’s rich and interoperable product matrix creates a closed-loop value ecosystem characterized by high returns, high liquidity, and low transaction costs.
