On October 19, 2026 its homepage priced 65,000 energy for 1 hour at about 1.04 TRX at the off-peak minimum (16 sun per energy) and 1.82 TRX at the peak maximum (28 sun per energy); CatFee’s published hourly rate changes several times a day. Activating a new address adds 1.2 TRX.
Orders can be placed on the website, by a TRX transfer, through the Telegram bot @CatFeeProBot or through the API. For developers, CatFee offers an endpoint that takes a signed transaction and supplies the energy before broadcasting it, and a tool called TRON Mate that monitors addresses and refills energy automatically. TRX holders can also sell their staked energy through CatFee.
At the September 30, 2026 check, CatFee’s calculator put the alternatives at about 6.5 TRX burned, or about 6,676 TRX staked, for the same 65,000 energy.
Before you buy: CatFee does not name the company behind it, and its own pages give conflicting answers on refunds for wrong amounts or addresses, so send the exact amount shown. It lists 24/7 support on Telegram, WhatsApp and email.
