Recipes are self-contained, copy-paste code examples for the operations TRON developers reach for most often. Each recipe is runnable as-is — install the SDK, swap in your address and key, and execute.

Pair recipes with the conceptual chapters: the recipes show how; the How TRON Works chapter and the API reference explain why.

Send and query

The fundamentals — read state, send a transfer.

💸 Send your first transaction — send TRX between accounts with TronWeb; covers construction, signing, broadcast, fee calculation, and common errors
🔍 Query TRX balance and resources — read an account's TRX balance, Bandwidth, and Energy; covers sun-to-TRX conversion and the free-vs-staked distinction

Smart contracts and events

Deploy contracts and react to on-chain events.

🪙 Deploy a TRC-20 token — compile and deploy an ERC-20-compatible token on TRON; contract source, constructor arguments, deployment, and on-chain verification
👂 Listen to contract events — subscribe to smart-contract events through TronGrid; polling, filtering by event name and block range, and payload decoding

Staking and governance

Stake 2.0, voting, and on-chain proposals.

🔒 Stake and delegate resources — stake TRX under Stake 2.0 to obtain Bandwidth or Energy; optionally delegate the resulting resources to another account
🗳️ Vote for Super Representatives — cast votes with your TRON Power and claim the voting rewards earned from it
📝 Create a governance proposal — submit a proposal to change a TRON network parameter; any SR, SR Partner, or SR Candidate can propose

Advanced

Multi-sig flows, offline signing, and lower-level transports.

🔐 Multi-sig transaction — sign and broadcast a transaction requiring multiple signatures via the account permission system
✍️ Offline sign a transaction — sign on an air-gapped machine, then broadcast from a separate online machine; the private key never touches the network
📡 API signature and broadcast flow — build, sign, and broadcast using only raw HTTP — no SDK required; useful for thin-client wallets, HSM integrations, and cross-language ports
📞 Call TRON via gRPC — invoke fullnode methods directly over gRPC for lower latency, native streaming, and strong typing
