Delegations paid from account balances
- Delegations without a rental payment
- 1,225,067 delegations
- Bought from a prepaid CatFee account balance rather than by a payment for the rental, so no price can be read from the chain.
- Energy delivered without a rental payment
- 617.98B energy
- Share of delivered energy paid from balances
- 99.8%
- Order payments not matched to a delegation
- 982 payments
- An order can send energy to an address other than the payer, which the chain does not show, so these cannot be matched. Counted over the newest sampled payments.
- USDT paid into CatFee prepaid balances
- 25,819 USDT
- Sent from outside CatFee to its payment addresses or to discovered prepaid balance addresses. Balances pay for every CatFee product — energy, TRX swaps, Telegram Premium, nodes — so this is not divided into an energy price.
- TRX paid into discovered prepaid balance addresses
- 3,571 TRX
- TRX sent to the payment addresses is counted as rental payments above, not here.
- Prepaid balance payments
- 172 payments
- Prepaid balance addresses discovered
- 12 addresses
- Addresses a CatFee payment address created that pay only CatFee; each is stored with its creating transaction.

About these figures
- Paid price. Every rental is normalised by its own term, then one USDT transfer’s worth of energy is priced for a one-day rental — TRON’s minimum billable term — against the same transfer-energy baseline the listed tiers were priced with, so the two share a unit. They still answer different questions: the cheapest listed tier is often a sub-day flash rental, while the paid price blends a whole day of rentals weighted by energy. The per-term medians cover the whole window, so one large rental can separate them from that day.
- Source. Figures come from TronRelic’s own observation of the TRON chain, interpreted through the CatFee on-chain examiner model, and cover the last 30 days (the oldest day with observed activity in this window is —). Capture is live-only: activity before we began observing this market is not included, so a low count can mean a young feed rather than a quiet market. A rental is recorded once its energy is taken back or its thirty-day deadline passes, so the newest rentals lag the chain by their term. Per-rental figures describe the newest 4,016 rentals, a sample rather than the whole window; daily volumes are exact. Energy figures are estimates converted at the network ratio in force when each delegation was observed.
