The Special Constants Differ from Ethereum

Currency

Like solidity supports ETH, TRON VM supports trx and sun, 1 trx = 1000000 sun, case sensitive, only support lower case. Tron-IDE supports trx and sun, remix does not support trx and sun.
We recommend to use Tron-IDE instead of remix to build TRON smart contract.

Block

  • block.blockhash (uint blockNumber) returns (bytes32): specified block hash, can only apply to the latest 256 blocks and current block excluded
  • block.coinbase (address): SuperNode address that produced the current block
  • block.difficulty (uint): current block difficulty, not recommended, set 0
  • block.gaslimit (uint): current block gas limit, not supported, set 0
  • block.number (uint): current block number
  • block.timestamp (uint): current block timestamp
  • gasleft() returns (uint256): remaining gas
  • msg.data (bytes): complete call data
  • msg.gas (uint): remaining gas - since 0.4.21, not recommended, replaced by gesleft()
  • msg.sender (address): message sender (current call)
  • msg.sig (bytes4): first 4 bytes of call data (function identifier)
  • msg.value (uint): the amount of SUN send with message
  • now (uint): current block timestamp (block.timestamp)
  • tx.gasprice (uint): the gas price of transaction, not recommended, set 0
  • tx.origin (address): transaction initiator
    Each command of smart contract consume system resource while running, we use 'Energy' as the unit of the consumption of the resource.
