| **Relationship between validator stake balance and rewards** | Linear. The more stake balance there is on the validator, the more rewards it will earn.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

### Resources

The Tron Network has three system resources: TRON Power (TP), Bandwidth, and Energy.

| **TRON Power (TP)** | TRON Power is also known as "Voting Rights" on the Tron network. TP is obtained by staking TRX, earning 1 TP per TRX staked.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
