I can't send Tron (TRC20) tokens. Token sending keeps failing.

If you're sending TRC20 tokens (e.g., USDT) on the TRON network and encounter a “FAILED - OUT OF ENERGY” error, it means your TRON account does not have enough TRX to cover the transaction fee (engergy).

[What Is “Energy” on the TRON Network?]

The TRON network uses a resource called Energy to execute smart contracts when transferring TRC20 tokens.

  • Energy is consumed as part of the transaction fee
  • It is paid using TRX (the native coin of the TRON network).
  • The required Energy (and cost) may vary depending on the network's governance proposals.

[Why Did the Transaction Fail?]

If your TRON account has insufficient TRX, the network cannot supply enough Energy, causing the transaction to fail with this message: 
FAILED - OUT OF ENERGY

[Notice: TRON Energy Cost Increase]

Due to recent governance proposals on the TRON network, the cost of Energy has increased, meaning more TRX is now required to complete the same TRC20 token transactions.

[How to Resolve the Issue]

  • To ensure stable transfers of TRC20 tokens, we recommend maintaining at least 100 TRX of available balance in your Tron account.
  • If your balance is low, please acquire additional TRX via an exchange or swap service before attempting the transaction again.

※ The actual amount of TRX required may vary depending on the energy cost on the Tron network.
