📍 Node Information

• Node Host: tron-168.catfee.io

• Port: 50051

• Protocol: gRPC

• Authentication:

  • Header Name: X-CATFEE-TOKEN

  • Header Value: YOUR_API_KEY (Please contact support to obtain)

💡 Both wallet and walletSolidity gRPC services are available on port 50051.

---

🌐 Communication Overview

Using the gRPC protocol, you can access common services of the TRON node:

• wallet: For unconfirmed transactions (not yet on-chain)

• walletSolidity: For reading confirmed on-chain data

---

🚀 Multi-language Connection Examples

🐍 Python (Using grpcio and tronpy)

pip install grpcio tronpy

from tronpy.providers.grpc_provider import GrpcProvider
from tronpy import Tron

provider = GrpcProvider(
    endpoint="tron-168.catfee.io:50051",
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    secure=False  # Unsecured connection
)

client = Tron(provider=provider)
account = client.get_account("T...")
print(account)

---

🟦 Node.js (Using grpc and official proto files)

npm install grpc @grpc/grpc-js @grpc/proto-loader

const grpc = require('@grpc/grpc-js');
const protoLoader = require('@grpc/proto-loader');

const packageDef = protoLoader.loadSync('wallet.proto', {});
const walletProto = grpc.loadPackageDefinition(packageDef).protocol;

const metadata = new grpc.Metadata();
metadata.set('X-CATFEE-TOKEN', 'YOUR_API_KEY');

const client = new walletProto.Wallet(
  'tron-168.catfee.io:50051',
  grpc.credentials.createInsecure()
);

client.GetNow({}, metadata, (err, res) => {
  console.log(res);
});

🔧 Be sure to prepare .proto files in advance. See TRON’s official repository: https://github.com/tronprotocol/protocol

☕ Java (Using grpc-java)

ManagedChannel channel = NettyChannelBuilder
    .forAddress("tron-168.catfee.io", 50051)
    .usePlaintext()
    .build();

WalletGrpc.WalletBlockingStub walletStub = WalletGrpc.newBlockingStub(channel)
    .withInterceptors(MetadataUtils.newAttachHeadersInterceptor(
        new Metadata() {{
            put(Metadata.Key.of("X-CATFEE-TOKEN", Metadata.ASCII_STRING_MARSHALLER), "YOUR_API_KEY");
        }}
    ));

Account request = Account.newBuilder().setAddress(ByteString.copyFromUtf8("T...")).build();
Account response = walletStub.getAccount(request);
System.out.println(response);
