What is a SUN in TRON?

1 TRX = 1,000,000 SUN, and 1 SUN = 0.000001 TRX. Convert any amount with the live converter above, or see the sun to trx or trx to sun tables.

TRON's native token, TRX, subdivides into SUN: 1,000,000 of them per TRX, with one SUN standing for 0.000001 TRX. That is as small as TRON money gets — the SUN is the ledger's smallest unit, and beneath the amounts a wallet displays, every balance and transfer is a tally of whole SUN.

Where SUN matters most is TRON's resource system. Sending a transaction or running a smart contract consumes bandwidth and energy, and when an account lacks free resources the network burns TRX to cover the cost. Those burns are denominated at SUN precision, so fees often come out as fractional TRX amounts that read most cleanly in SUN.

The name is unusual: it honors Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, making it a rare case of a currency unit named after a living person. Most crypto denominations borrow metric prefixes or honor figures from cryptography's early history, which makes this choice stand out. The unit has served as TRON's base denomination since the mainnet launched in 2018.

The rule is simple — TRX times 1,000,000 gives SUN, and SUN times 0.000001 gives TRX — but hand-shifted decimals invite mistakes once amounts get small. Paste any amount into the live converter and trust the result: the multiplication is exact, whichever way you are going.
