# TRON in Vultisig

TRON freeze and unfreeze in Vultisig: freeze TRX to earn bandwidth or energy for fee-free transactions, and unfreeze to reclaim your TRX.

Vultisig supports native TRON freezing directly in the DeFi tab. Freeze TRX to earn **bandwidth** (for regular transfers) or **energy** (for smart contract interactions), then unfreeze when you want your TRX back.

## Available Actions

| Action   | Description                                                           |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Freeze   | Lock TRX to earn bandwidth or energy                                  |
| Unfreeze | Release frozen TRX (3-day cooldown before it returns to your balance) |

## Why Freeze TRX?

Freezing TRX gives you free resources on the TRON network:

* **Bandwidth** — pays for standard transactions like TRX and TRC-10 transfers without burning TRX for fees.
* **Energy** — pays for smart contract execution, including TRC-20 transfers (e.g. USDT).

Frozen TRX is not lost. You keep ownership of every token you freeze — you just lock it in exchange for resources. Unfreezing returns it to your balance after the cooldown.

***

## TRON Dashboard

The TRON screen in the DeFi tab shows:

* **Available balance** — unlocked TRX you can send or freeze
* **Frozen balance** — TRX currently earning bandwidth or energy, broken down by resource type
* **Bandwidth and energy meters** — how much you have and how much you've used
* **Pending withdrawals** — TRX you've unfrozen, with a countdown until it returns to your available balance

## Freezing

### How to Freeze

1. Open **DeFi tab** → **TRON** → **Freeze**
2. Choose the **resource type**: Bandwidth or Energy
3. Enter the **amount** of TRX to freeze
4. Sign with your devices

Your bandwidth or energy allowance increases as soon as the transaction confirms.

***

## Unfreezing

### How to Unfreeze

1. Open **DeFi tab** → **TRON** → **Unfreeze**
2. Select the **resource type** to unfreeze (Bandwidth or Energy)
3. Enter the **amount** to unfreeze
4. Sign with your devices

{% hint style="info" %}
**3-day cooldown.** After you unfreeze, your TRX enters a 3-day waiting period. You can see each pending withdrawal with its remaining time in the dashboard. Once the timer ends, the TRX returns to your available balance automatically — no separate claim step is needed.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.vultisig.com/app-guide/defi/tron.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
