What the floor is

The floor is the live reference price for the same tier and day-part. We do not sell below it in any window, and that holds regardless of which source actually fills the order.

A shorter tier is never published above the price of a longer tier in the same window. Where the reference would force that, the tier is simply not offered in that window.

Rounding is always up and always last: the amount to 1,000 units, the unit price to 0.01 SUN, the order total to 1,000 SUN.

FAQ

Why does the price change during the day?

Energy is priced by the hour of the day: the grid has seven windows, cheapest through the night in UTC and highest in the afternoon peak, and every window sits at or above the live market reference for the same tier. The price map above shows the windows in your own time zone.

What is a SUN?

The smallest unit of TRX: 1 TRX = 1,000,000 SUN. Energy is priced in SUN per unit of energy for the whole rental window, so 65,000 energy at 20 SUN/unit costs 1,300,000 SUN, or 1.300 TRX.

Is the price on this page binding?

No. It is the published grid. A binding price comes from a quote, which pins the number for 120 seconds; pass its id when you create the order and you are charged exactly that, even if the period rolled over in between.

Is there a 15-minute tier?

No. The grid is 5 minutes (for the API and the node endpoint), 1 hour and 1 day; anything longer than a day is a subscription. A shorter tier is never priced above a longer one in the same window: if the market reference would force that, the shorter tier is simply not offered in that window rather than published at a worse price.
