TRON is a Layer 1 run by 27 elected Super Representatives under delegated proof of stake. Blocks arrive every 3 seconds and become final after 19 confirmations, about 57 seconds. Smart contracts run on the TVM, which is largely EVM-compatible, so Solidity code ports with few changes. Throughput averages around 130 TPS. Fees come out of staked Energy and Bandwidth or burned TRX, which makes a plain USDT transfer costly for anyone holding neither. TRON carries the largest USDT supply of any chain, about $92.7B in Q3 2026.
GetBlock runs java-TRON full and archive nodes in Frankfurt, New York and Singapore, serving full node and Solidity node APIs over HTTP, JSON-RPC and gRPC on one API key. Limitless Nodes give flat-rate throughput from 25 RPS, and Dedicated Nodes serve exchanges and custodians. TRON Energy Rental cuts transaction fees by up to 70% without staking, and Crypto AML Check screens wallets for sanctions and illicit funds.
