This guide walks you through the process of staking TRX (Tron) using Trust Wallet. TRX is the native cryptocurrency of the Tron network, a Layer 1 blockchain (a base-layer network that settles its own transactions directly) designed for high-speed transactions and scalability to support decentralized applications.
Key Details for Staking TRX with Trust Wallet
Minimum Staking Amount: 1 TRX
Lockup Period: None (unbonding — the waiting period before unstaked tokens are released — takes 14 days).
Note: During the TRX staking period, both your staked TRX and any rewards generated remain locked. You will not have access to these funds until the unstaking process for your TRX is completed.
Staking Yield (APR — Annual Percentage Rate): View current TRX staking rates in the Earn section of the Trust Wallet app.
Important: TRX staking and rewards are managed by Trust Wallet's partners. Therefore, Trust Wallet does not control the staking rate, lockup period, or minimum staking requirement for TRX. Lockup specifics, including any time frames for staking and unstaking TRX, are determined by the Tron network itself.
Stay Updated: Ensure you have the latest version of Trust Wallet to access the most current staking options. Download Trust Wallet here.
How to Stake TRX
Open Trust Wallet.

How to Unstake TRX
From the main wallet page, go to Earn.
Select TRX.
Choose Unstake.
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm unstaking your TRX.
