|---|---|---|---|

Full Flow: From Classification to Completed Transfer
- Classify the recipient address — Check the recipient USDT balance on TronScan — non-zero is a hot address, zero is a cold address.
- Pick the right pack — Hot address → 65,000 Energy. Cold address → 131,000 Energy.
- Prepare Bandwidth — Freeze a small amount of TRX for free Bandwidth, or keep ~1 TRX to let the network deduct automatically.
- Place the order on EOPEN — Open the homepage, enter the recipient address, choose the Energy pack, and pay in TRX or USDT.
- Send the USDT transfer — Once Energy arrives (1-3 min), execute the USDT TRC-20 transfer — fees drop to near zero.

FAQ
Why 64,285 and 130,285 specifically?
These are the actual on-chain Energy consumption values for the TRC-20 standard transfer call: when the recipient already has a USDT balance the contract only writes storage, while a cold address requires a new storage slot — almost doubling the cost.
Why rent 65,000 instead of exactly 64,285?
On-chain consumption can vary by ~1% due to block context, contract state, and signature size. Renting 65,000 / 131,000 round packs leaves a buffer so the transfer never fails for insufficient Energy.
Why is Bandwidth also needed?
Every TRON transaction consumes both Energy (compute) and Bandwidth (byte size). A USDT TRC-20 transfer needs about 350 Bandwidth, supplied by frozen TRX or burned TRX.
What happens if I do not have enough Energy?
TRON will automatically burn TRX from your account to cover the shortfall — which is why a wallet without prepared Energy can spend 13-27 TRX per USDT transfer.
How do I rent these packs on EOPEN?
Go to the homepage, enter the recipient address, pick the 65,000 or 131,000 Energy pack, and confirm. Enterprise users can also integrate via /api documentation.
Is Energy rental safe?
Yes. Energy rental is purely a TRON resource delegation — the platform never touches your private keys or assets.
