Optimizing Pool Efficiency: From Duration×Price to Price-First Strategy
The pool fulfillment system at TronEnergy continues to evolve. This update introduces a new approach designed to improve performance, transparency, and user incentives across all pools.
🔄 From “Duration × Price” to “Price-First” Priority
Until now, the TronEnergy engine prioritized orders using the duration × price formula, giving higher priority to longer-term delegations combined with better pricing.
That formula worked well to balance duration and profitability, but as the ecosystem grew and pool liquidity became more dynamic, a new approach proved more efficient.
TronEnergy now prioritizes orders by price first, starting with those offering the highest price in each round. This adjustment improves execution speed, encourages active pricing strategies, and enhances overall energy distribution efficiency.
⚙️ New Pool Setting: Choose Your Fill Strategy
Pool owners can now select their preferred fulfillment method directly from the Pool Settings section.
Each pool can operate under one of the following strategies:
| Mode | Description | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| auto | TEM automatically selects the optimal strategy | Adapts dynamically to current network and pool conditions |
| duration × price | The original method | Prioritizes orders based on duration multiplied by price |
| price | The new default | Prioritizes orders starting from the highest price |
By default, all pools will use the price mode.
However, pool operators can freely switch between modes at any time depending on their objectives and market conditions.
💬 Final Thoughts
The new Price-First fulfillment strategy represents a key step forward for pool management on TronEnergy.
It simplifies order logic, speeds up matching, and rewards competitive participation, while still allowing full customization through Auto and Duration×Price settings.
Energy delegation on the TRON network becomes faster, smarter, and more aligned with how the market truly behaves.
