# Staking 2.0

TronSave is built on TRON's **Stake 2.0** model. Staking (freezing) TRX produces **Energy** (or Bandwidth), which providers then rent out on the marketplace.

## How staking produces Energy

When you stake TRX for Energy, the amount of Energy you receive depends on your share of all TRX staked for Energy network‑wide:

**`Energy obtained = (Your TRX staked for Energy / Total TRX staked for Energy on TRON) × 180,000,000,000`**

So Energy yield per TRX **decreases** as more of the network stakes for Energy, and increases as less does.

## Unstaking period

{% hint style="warning" %}
Staked TRX requires a **14‑day** unstaking (unfreeze) period before it can be withdrawn.
{% endhint %}

If you need liquidity sooner, see [Early Unstake](/guides/unstake.md), which lets you exit your position before the 14 days via the unstake market.

## Why it matters for TronSave

* **Providers** stake TRX → receive Energy → [sell/delegate](/guides/sell.md) it on TronSave → earn [APY](/concepts/pricing-and-apy.md).
* **Buyers** benefit because this staked supply is what fills their rental orders at market rates instead of the burn rate.
