Host Mode - Continuous Energy Management
Host Mode is an automated energy-management system that keeps a TRON address supplied with energy for USDT (TRC-20) transfers, delegating energy for each cycle and re-delegating automatically after the address consumes it.
Overview
Once an address is in Host Mode, the system delegates energy to it and watches the address for USDT transfers. After a transfer consumes the delegated energy, the energy is reclaimed and a new cycle is delegated automatically — as long as the address has cycles left (or is in infinity mode).
Key Features
- Automatic energy: energy is delegated for each cycle without manual action
- Auto re-delegation: after a USDT transfer consumes energy, the next cycle is delegated automatically
- Cycle system: you pay per delegation cycle
- Infinity mode: continuous operation until you stop it
How It Works
- Add address: register the address in Host Mode (
/apiv2/time/add). - Buy cycles: order a fixed number of cycles (
/apiv2/time/order) or enable infinity mode (/apiv2/time/infinitystart). This activates the address. - Delegation: energy is delegated to the address for the current cycle.
- Usage: when the address makes a USDT transfer and consumes the energy, the system reclaims it and delegates the next cycle.
- Completion: when all ordered cycles are used, the address is stopped automatically. In infinity mode it keeps running until you stop it.
Cycle System
- 1 cycle = 1 delegation: each energy delegation consumes one cycle.
- Cycle price: taken from the current public price table; the amount charged is
cycles × price. - Infinity mode: cycles are effectively unlimited until you stop the address.
Good Fit For
- Active traders making frequent USDT transfers
- Users who do not stake TRX for their own energy
- Services that need energy available on an address without manual top-ups
Management Endpoints
- Time Add — add an address to Host Mode (and register a callback URL)
- Time Order — buy a specific number of cycles (activates the address)
- Time Infinity Start — enable infinity (unlimited) mode
- Time Stop — stop Host Mode and close open orders
- Time Delete — remove an address from Host Mode
- Time Status — check addresses, modes and cycle counts
Authentication
Every request requires:
- API key — passed in the JSON body (
api_key) or theX-API-KEYheader. - Whitelisted IP — the request IP must be in the whitelist configured for your API key.
All endpoints return a JSON envelope:
{ "code": 0, "msg": "…", "data": { } }code = 0 means success; a negative code means an error (see msg).
Callbacks (webhooks)
When you register a callback_url for an address (via /apiv2/time/add), the system notifies your URL each time energy is delegated to that address. See Time Add → Callbacks for the exact request format.
Best Practices
- Verify the address is correct and activated on the TRON network before adding it.
- Keep enough balance to cover the cycles you order.
- Start small with a few cycles before enabling infinity mode.
- Monitor your addresses and cycle counts with the Time Status endpoint.
- Protect your API key — never expose it in client-side code; keep your IP whitelist up to date.
Getting Started
- Obtain an API key and whitelist your server IP.
- Add the address with
/apiv2/time/add. - Order cycles with
/apiv2/time/orderor enable infinity mode with/apiv2/time/infinitystart. - Monitor status with
/apiv2/time/status.
