An educational breakdown of how TRON SR rewards change with rank and votes.
Quick background: the 3 SR stages on TRON
Before the numbers, here’s how TRON SR status works in simple terms:
1) SR Candidate rank #128 - 432 (>127)
• Voters still earn their own TRON protocol rewards,
• no SR-level payouts, because SR Candidates do not receive regular SR rewards from the network.
2) SR Partner rank # 28 - 127 (Top 127)
• voters now participate in the SR reward system, (receiving 90% of the distribution.)
• Voter receive same TRON protocol rewards
• These rewards are what SRs can share with voters
3) Full SR rank # 1 - 27 (Top 27)
• Voted SR now produce blocks directly
• Voter receive higher protocol rewards
• Usually much higher visibility and voting power

I’m using my own node (AstroTron) only as a real example — not a recommendation to vote.
Right now we’re SR Partner Rank #105 with approx. 47,000 votes, so here’s what rewards roughly look like at different levels.

What daily rewards tend to look like
(numbers are realistic ranges, not guarantees)
At #105 (~47,000 votes today)
-
Protocol SR reward: ~0.8 TRX / day
-
Voters’ pool (90%): ~0.72 TRX total per day
-
Basically dust for individual voters.
At #100 (~63,000 votes)
-
Protocol SR reward: ~30–80 TRX / day
-
Voters’ pool (90%): ~27–72 TRX / day total
-
Now payouts become visible instead of dust.
At #90 (~100,000 votes)
-
Protocol SR reward: ~150–300 TRX / day
-
Voters’ pool (90%): ~135–270 TRX / day total
-
This is where rewards start to feel clearly meaningful.
How the split works (simple math)
When TRON pays rewards:
-
TRON sends 100% to the SR wallet
-
SR keeps 10%
-
SR sends 90% back to voters
-
Each voter is paid pro-rata by vote weight
Example (mid case at #99 = 55 TRX/day):
-
Voters’ pool = 49.5 TRX (90% of 55 TRX)
-
A voter with 15% of total votes gets 15% of 49.5 TRX ≈ 7.43 TRX/day base on pro-rata by vote weight
Key takeaway for beginners
Your rewards mainly depend on two things:
SR Rank
Total votes on that SR
Higher rank + more votes = higher protocol rewards.
Lower rank = dust, even with the same 90% share.
Note: These figures refer only to SR-level rewards shared to voters.
They do not include each voter’s own protocol rewards, which they can claim separately on Tronscan.
