Recently, the TRON community passed the largest network fee reduction proposal in its history, slashing network fees by 60% and injecting strong momentum into the ecosystem. The results were immediate: on September 1, according to DefiLlama data, the number of active addresses on the TRON network in 24 hours exceeded 2.48 million, topping the global public chain activity rankings. On the same day, the total number of transactions completed on the TRON network reached 9.55 million, and contract calls hit 2.57 million, setting the highest record since June this year.
Earlier in August, the total protocol revenue of the TRON network had already surpassed $420 million, setting a new historical high. The reduction in fees, increased activity, and revenue growth have mutually reinforced each other, jointly triggering a new wave of explosive growth in the TRON ecosystem.
In active response to this network-wide fee reduction, the core DeFi protocol of the TRON ecosystem, JustLend DAO, announced that it would lower the benchmark energy rental rate from 15% to 8%, further reducing the barrier for user participation.
As "Energy" is a crucial "DApp interaction fuel" in the TRON network, it is not only the foundation for stable blockchain operation but also a key element for users’ on-chain operations, developers’ deployment, and smart contract calls. The reduction in energy rental rates means that users and developers can obtain energy at a lower cost, enabling more economical and efficient on-chain operations, further unlocking the potential of the TRON DeFi ecosystem.
As of September 2025, the total value locked (TVL) in the JustLend DAO protocol has exceeded $3.4 billion, with strong and sustained growth momentum. To help more new users seamlessly integrate into the TRON ecosystem, this article will provide a comprehensive introduction to the energy rental function of JustLend DAO, from mechanism analysis to practical steps, helping users easily engage in on-chain interactions and seize DeFi opportunities.
I. Core Advantages of JustLend DAO Energy Rental
l Pay-as-you-go, say goodbye to traditional staking
In the traditional model, users need to stake TRX for a long time or burn TRX to obtain energy, resulting in low capital utilization. Addressing the pain points of the traditional energy acquisition model, JustLend DAO has reconstructed the energy economic model based on the Stake 2.0 mechanism, launching an innovative rental solution of "pay-as-you-go, rent and use as needed, return as needed." This model is not only flexible and efficient, precisely meeting the interaction needs of short-term high-frequency users, but also significantly reduces the cost of obtaining energy, helping users "save as they rent" and greatly improving capital efficiency.
l Flexible rental, instant effect
Energy rental can be credited within seconds, supporting custom durations from 3 hours to multiple days, allowing users to rent flexibly.
l Rent out energy and earn income
With the JustLend DAO energy rental function, users can not only rent energy to reduce interaction costs but also stake TRX to rent out energy and earn rental income.
II. User Operation Guide: JustLend DAO Energy Rental in Three Steps
l Preparation stage: Install and connect wallet plugins such as TronLink that support the TRON network, and switch to the TRON mainnet.
l Rent energy
1. First, go to the "Energy Rental" page from the JustLend DAO navigation page.
2. Enter the amount of energy you want to rent and the rental duration. The system will automatically calculate in real time the required TRX deposit and the TRX to be refunded upon return. Click "Rent Now" and authorize in your wallet. Currently, users can rent 100,000 energy (equivalent to the energy obtained by staking 9,928 TRX) with about 2.65 TRX, enough for two transactions.
After a successful rental, the order will automatically appear on the right side of the "Current Order" page.
l Return energy: Users need to return the rental before the end of the rental period, otherwise part of the deposit will be refunded. Click the "End" button in the order, and the pop-up page will display the refund amount. After confirming it is correct, click "Confirm" and authorize the end of the rental in your wallet.
l Fee inquiry: The unit price for renting 10,000 energy per day is displayed at the bottom of the "Energy Rental" page, and rental fees fluctuate with the market.
Kind reminders:
1. Please remember to manually end the rental on time. Otherwise, the system will trigger the liquidation mechanism. All or part of the deposit will be liquidated based on the actual energy used and distributed as a reward to the liquidator.
2. If you terminate the rental without restoring the used energy, the deposit will be deducted accordingly.
The TRON ecosystem is experiencing an unprecedented highlight moment. The significant reduction in network fees and the lowering of JustLend DAO energy rental rates not only effectively reduce the participation threshold for users but also mark the beginning of a new era of low-cost, high-efficiency on-chain interaction. Whether you are a short-term high-frequency trader or a long-term ecosystem participant, you can now integrate into TRON's DeFi wave in a more flexible and economical way.
With its innovative energy rental mechanism, JustLend DAO is becoming the most reliable support for every user exploring the on-chain world. Experience it now and unlock a new chapter of low-cost, high-efficiency on-chain interaction.
