# What is Tronpulse.io

[Tronpulse.io](https://tronpulse.io) is a peer-to-peer energy exchange built on the TRON blockchain, designed to facilitate the alignment of interests between buyers and sellers of energy.

In the TRON ecosystem, energy represents the unit of transaction fees that users must pay when engaging with smart contracts. Energy can be acquired by burning TRX during transactions or by staking TRX to obtain free energy.

Our innovative solution aims to mitigate transaction fees by connecting TRX holders (sellers) who possess surplus energy from staked TRX with smart contract users (buyers). By matching these interests, we enable users to reduce their transaction costs while optimizing their energy utilization.

**What is TRON?**

TRON is a decentralized blockchain that features smart contract functionality and operates on a delegated proof-of-stake consensus model with 27 validators. Its native currency, TRX, acts as the system's fuel and is consumed through transaction fees whenever users interact with the blockchain.

The mainnet was launched in 2017, and the protocol is supervised by TronDAO. Throughout the years, TRON has emerged as the primary settlement layer for stablecoins like USDT and has successfully established a self-sustainable ecosystem with negative inflation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tronpulse.gitbook.io/tronpulse/introduction/what-is-tronpulse.io.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
