How does it work?

The platform uses delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism to run its system. 

Interestingly, TRON token holders can freeze their holdings to vote for the super representatives (SR), which produce blocks and data structures within the blockchain, where transaction data is permanently recorded. 

When these block producers verify the data, they earn TRX tokens in rewards, which are distributed among people who voted for them. According to TRON, it helps the blockchain acquire high throughput levels.
