Tronscan provides a way for Super Representatives to publish their information right where the voters are, on Tronscan!
Super Representatives can use this template to build a static page which will be shown on Tronscan. The link will be placed in the voting overview page right next to the name of SR.
The Super Representatives can manage their content by editing files in the Github repository.
This guide assumes that you already have an account with Super Representative (candidate) status.
Copy/Fork the Template on Github
Fork the repository
After forking the repository, you will be navigated to your own tronsr-template version of the repository where you can make changes.
Fill in the Template
Editing files on Github can now modify the template.
Files are written in markdown format. An excellent intro can be found at https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/.
It can e published on https://tronscan.org after you filled the template.
Publish to Tronscan
This example shows where each file should be placed. The page will be updated immediately whenever a file on Github is modified.
Every account in TRON’s network can vote for the Super Representatives they support. Voting requires TRON Power (TP), 1 TP = 1 frozen TRX.
Users can use Tronscan or Tronlink to freeze, vote or obtain reward.
e.g.
The final result of the above commands is three votes for witness1 and seven votes for witness2.
The balance freezing mechanism is set up out of two considerations:
To prevent malicious spam transactions from clogging the network and causing delayed transaction confirmation.
To prevent malicious voting.
Once the balance is frozen, the user will receive a proportionate amount of TP and bandwidth. TP represents voting power, whereas bandwidth points are used to pay for transactions.
Frozen assets are held in your frozen account and cannot be used for trading.
The fixed frozen duration is three days, after which you can unfreeze your balance any time you like manually. Balance unfrozen will be transferred back into your current account.
The freezing command is as follows:
e.g.
freezebalance password 10_000_000 3
Unfreezing command:
unfreezebalance password
