Super Representative¶
How to Become a Super Representative¶
In TRON network, any account can apply to become a witness. Every account can vote for witnesses.
The top 27 witnesses are called SR, the witnesses from 28th to 127th are called Partner, the witnesses after 128th are called Candidates. Only SR can produce blocks.
The votes will be counted every 6 hours, so super representatives may also change every 6 hours.
To prevent vicious attack, TRON network burns 9999 TRX from the account that applies to become a super representative candidate.
Super Representative Election¶
To vote, you need to have TRON Power(TP). To get TRON Power, you need to stake TRX. Every 1 staked TRX accounts for one TRON Power(TP). Every account in TRON network has the right to vote for a super representative candidate. After you unstake your staked TRX, you will lose the responding TRON Power(TP), so your previous vote will be invalid.
Note: Only your latest vote will be counted in TRON network which means your previous vote will be over written by your latest vote.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
> freezebalance 10,000,000 3 // Stake 10 TRX to get 10 TRON Power(TP)
> votewitness witness1 4 witness2 6 // Vote 4 votes for witness1, 6 votes for witness2
> votewitness witness1 3 witness2 7 // Vote 3 votes for witness1, 7 votes for witness2
The final output above is: Vote 3 votes for witness1, 7 votes for witness2
Witnesses Brokerage¶
The default ratio is 20%, which can be modified by the witnesses.
If a witness get 20% of the reward, and the other 80% will be awarded to the voters. If the brokerage ratio is set to 100%, the rewards are all obtained by the witness; if set to 0, the rewards are all sent to the voters.
Reward for Witnesses¶
Votes Reward¶
Vote rewards are 160 TRX every block, with a block generated every 3 seconds, the total vote rewards per day is 4,608,000 TRX.
For each SR and Partner, the daily Vote Rewards = 4,608,000 * ( votes / total votes) x 20% TRX
Block Producing Reward¶
Every time after a super representative produces a block, it will be reward 16 TRX. The 27 super representatives take turns to produce blocks every 3 seconds. The annual block producing reward is 168,192,000 TRX in total.
Every time after a super representative produces a block, the 16 TRX block producing reward will be sent to it's sub-account. The sub-account is a read-only account, it allows a withdraw action from sub-account to super representative account every 24 hours.
16 (\mathsf{TRX}/block) \times 28,800 (blocks/day) = 460,800 (\mathsf{TRX}/day)
For each super representative, the daily block Rewards_{sr} = (460,800 / 27) \times 20 \% \mathsf{TRX}.
Reward may be less than the theoretical number due to missed blocks and maintenance period.
Reward for Voters¶
If you vote for a Super Representative:
the daily Voter Rewards = (((the number of votes you vote to a witness) * 4,608,000 / total votes) * 80%) + ((460,800 / 27) * 80%) * (the number of votes you vote to a witness) / (the total number of votes a witness receives) TRX
If you vote for a Partner:
the daily Voter Rewards = (((the number of votes you vote to a witness) * 4,608,000 / total votes) * 80%) TRX
Committee¶
1. What is Committee¶
Committee can modify the TRON network parameters, like transacton fees, block producing reward amount, etc. Committee is composed of the current 27 super representatives. Every super representative has the right to start a proposal. The proposal will be passed after it gets more than 18 approves from the super representatives and will become valid in the next maintenance period.
2. Create a Proposal¶
Only SRs, Partners and Candidates can create a proposal.
The network parameters can be modified([min,max]).
{0,1}: 1 means 'allowed' or 'actived', 0 means 'disallow', 'disable' or 'no'.

3. Vote for a Proposal¶
Proposal only support YES vote. Since the creation time of the proposal, the proposal is valid within 3 days. If the proposal does not receive enough YES votes within the period of validity, the proposal will be invalid beyond the period of validity. Yes vote can be cancelled.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
> approveProposal id is_or_not_add_approval
# id: proposal id
# is_or_not_add_approval: YES vote or cancel YES vote
4. Cancel Proposal¶
Proposal creator can cancel the proposal before it is passed.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
> deleteProposal id
# id: proposal id
5. Query Proposal¶
- Query all the proposals list (ListProposals)
- Query all the proposals list by pagination (GetPaginatedProposalList)
- Query a proposal by proposal id (GetProposalById)
