Out of Energy is one of the most frequent errors users encounter in the TRON network when executing transactions or calling smart contracts. This error indicates a lack of Energy, one of the two main resources required to perform operations in the TRON network.
What is Energy in the TRON Network?
The TRON network uses two primary resources for processing transactions and executing smart contracts:
- Bandwidth: Used for simple transactions, such as token transfers.
- Energy: Required for operations involving smart contracts.
Energy is allocated to users who stake TRX in their wallets. This allows transactions to be performed without additional gas fees, but the amount of Energy is limited by the amount of TRX staked.
Reasons for the Out of Energy Error
The Out of Energy error occurs when executing a smart contract requires more Energy than is available in the user's balance. This can happen due to the following reasons:
- Insufficient Staked TRX: The user has staked too little TRX to generate the required amount of Energy.
- Smart Contract Complexity: Some contracts require significant amounts of Energy due to their complexity or the volume of operations.
- Transaction Size: Processing a large amount of data within a smart contract consumes more Energy.
How to Avoid the Out of Energy Error
1. Stake More TRX:
Stake TRX tokens through the official TRON wallet or other supported platforms to receive additional Energy.
Energy is allocated proportionally to the amount of TRX staked. Use a staking calculator to estimate the Energy you’ll need and the amount of TRX to stake.
2. Purchase Energy on FeeSaver:
Use the FeeSaver platform to purchase Energy for your transaction and save up to 60%. See the Instant Energy Purchase feature for a quick and cost-effective solution.
3. Use Paid Resources:
If you prefer not to stake TRX, you can pay for transactions directly in TRX. This is useful if you use the network infrequently.
4. Optimize Smart Contract Usage:
- Review smart contract code for inefficient operations.
- Ensure the contract fits your requirements and doesn’t consume unnecessary Energy.
5. Analyze Energy Requirements:
Before executing a transaction, use tools such as TRONScan to estimate the Energy required.
How to Check Your Energy Balance
You can check your available Energy balance using the following tools:
- TRONScan: The official blockchain explorer for the TRON network.
- TRON Wallets: Most wallets, such as TronLink, display your available resources (Energy and Bandwidth).
Conclusion
The Out of Energy error is not critical and can be easily resolved. If you encounter this issue, first check your available Energy or TRX balance. Staking TRX to gain additional Energy is a viable option, but the most efficient and convenient solution is to purchase Energy through the FeeSaver platform. This allows you to resolve the issue quickly and avoid disruptions to your transactions.
