Depending on the Super Representative, either you have claimable staking rewards every 24 hours, where you manually claim them using the button (rewards are on-chain), or your rewards are off-chain meaning you rely on the policy of the Super Representative to get your staking reward directly from them.

It usually takes up to 3 days to unlock the Tron you stake, depending on the Tron protocol. Learn more on the Tron website.

The top 27 Super Representatives are responsible for consensus. The list of the top 27 is updated every 6 hours. Using Ledger Live and your hardware wallet, go to the voting page and select your Super Representative(s) then allocate votes to each one. You can vote for up to 5 SRs in one operation. Please note that if you decide to unfreeze TRX, your votes will be automatically reset and your assets become available for transactions once again.

By voting your Tron assets, you participate in the consensus mechanism because they are frozen. In exchange, you get rewards as defined by the protocol. If you plan to hold on to TRXs for some time, delegating will help you accumulate more TRXs while contributing to the network. Voting is the only way you get rewards.

You have full ownership of your Tron (TRX) when you stake through Ledger, unlike with crypto exchanges.

Delegating Tron is safe. The user keeps control over his private keys and never lose ownership over the assets. Delegating your TRX from a hardware wallet provides you with another layer of unbreakable security.

Choosing a validator is a personal decision, and it’s important to do your own research. When available, choose Ledger, a trusted validator that offers great rewards and best security.

When you stake through a centralised exchange, the exchange holds the private keys to your assets on your behalf. With Ledger, your private keys are stored on your hardware device*. You interact with validators and services through the Ledger Wallet app, but the keys, and therefore control of your assets, remain with you.

No. Your Ledger device is only needed when signing a transaction, such as when you initially delegate, switch validator, or un-delegate. Once your stake is active on the blockchain, any potential rewards accumulate without any action required from your device.

Your assets are on the blockchain, not stored on the device itself. Your Ledger can be recovered using your secret recovery phrase, a set of words generated when you first set up the device. With your recovery phrase, you can restore access to your accounts on a new Ledger device. Keeping that phrase secure and offline is essential.

Staking Tron carries two main risks. First, market risk: the value of your TRX may change during the staking or un-bonding period. Second, on networks where it applies, slashing risk: if a validator misbehaves, delegators can lose a portion of their staked assets. You can reduce slashing risk by choosing a reputable, well-established validator available via the Ledger Wallet app.
