How to Access Dashboard
Create an account on GetBlock using Gmail, Metamask, or GitHub

The dashboard consists of three main tabs:
Dashboard — view your balance, usage charts, deposit history, and order activity
Delegate — delegate Energy or Bandwidth to TRON addresses, manage API keys
API Docs — reference documentation with cURL examples for all endpoints
How to Top Up Your Balance
Before you can delegate resources, you need to fund your USD balance:
Click the "Top Up" button in the balance bar at the top of the dashboard
Select a preset amount ($50, $100, $500) or enter a custom amount (minimum $10)
Choose your payment method: Card or Crypto
Complete the payment — your balance updates instantly
Your USD balance is shared across all GetBlock products.
How to Delegate Resources
Go to the Delegate tab and select Manual mode.
1. Delegate Energy
Select the Energy sub-tab
Enter the target TRON address (starts with T, 34 characters)
Set the Energy amount (30,000–5,000,000)
Choose the duration: 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h, or 1 day
Click "Delegate Energy"
2. Delegate Bandwidth
Select the Bandwidth sub-tab
Enter the target TRON address
Set the Bandwidth amount (1,000–200,000)
Duration is fixed at 1 hour for Bandwidth
Click "Delegate Bandwidth"
3. Activate Address
If you need to delegate to a brand-new TRON address that has never been used, you must activate it first:
Select the Activate sub-tab
Enter the target TRON address
Click "Activate Address
Activation costs a fixed 1.87 TRX, charged in USD at the current TRX/USD rate.
How to Check Price
The Check Price panel is available on the right side of the Delegate form (Manual mode). Use it to get a real-time estimate before placing an order:
Enter Energy amount (30,000–5,000,000)
Select duration: 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days
Click "Check Price"
The result shows: price in SUN per unit, total TRX, and total USD
How to Manage API Keys
To use the API, you need an API key:
Go to Delegate → API mode
Click "+ Add Key" (requires a funded balance)
Copy and securely store the key immediately — it is shown only once
You can create up to 5 API keys
To revoke a key, click "Revoke" next to it — the key stops working immediately
