TRON-related Terminology

Super Representatives: Special accounts in TRON that have the rights to receive citizen votes, produce blocks, and vote on proposals. Any account can apply to become a Super Representative (it costs 9999 TRX).

FullNode: A node that holds all data in TRON.

SuperNode: SuperNode is a full node deployed by Super Representatives, and private keys are passed as parameters when running. Therefore, SuperNodes are actually running the full node code.

Wallet: A common type of client used for interacting with blockchain; relative to the wallet, blockchain can be considered as a server.

Blockchain Explorer: Initially used to display blockchain data, it now also includes functions for interacting with the blockchain.

TRX: The token on the TRON blockchain.

Freeze: In the consensus implementation plan of TRON’s DPoS, freezing TRX can obtain voting rights.

Vote: In the consensus implementation plan of TRON’s DPoS, voting for Super Representatives.

Staking Rewards: Voting for Super Representatives can earn certain profits based on the proportion of votes.

Proposal/Voting Request: Some parameter changes in the TRON network need to be agreed upon, these parameters are packaged into a proposal; Super Representatives conducting a ballot on the proposal is known as initiating a voting request.

Bandwidth: A kind of resource required for any transaction to go on-chain in TRON. It can be obtained by freezing TRX.

Energy: A kind of resource needed to run smart contract transactions in TRON. It can be obtained by freezing TRX.

Smart Contract: Code written in Solidity language.

Virtual Machine: A module used to execute smart contracts.

Compiler: Compiles smart contracts into instructions opcode recognizable by the virtual machine.

OPCODE (Instruction Opcode): The code generated after the compiler compiles, which can be recognized and executed by the virtual machine.

Precompiled Contract: A method implemented in the virtual machine to implement some special features, which can be understood as functioning in the same way as OPCODE.

Internal Transaction: Extra transactions triggered during smart contract transactions, such as transfer transactions triggered in the smart contract transaction.

Private Key/Public Key/Address: Private key-public key pair, address corresponding to the public key.

Multisignature: A mechanism for distributing various permissions of an account. For example, a transfer transaction can be set to require signing from 2 accounts to trigger.

RPC/HTTP Interface: Interface exposed by the blockchain to the outside world.

There are two basic token standards on TRON:

TRC-10 standard: Native application tokens, like BTT etc.

TRC-20 standard: Smart contract standard, similar to ERC-20. Tokens designed under the TRC-20 standard run compiled on the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM) and are deployed afterwards, examples are WIN, JUST, and USDT.
