# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. **How do I stake TRX to obtain Energy or Bandwidth?**\
   Most mainstream TRON-compatible wallets support staking TRX to obtain Energy or Bandwidth. We recommend using the official wallet, **TronLink**. Please refer to its documentation on “Resource Staking” for detailed instructions.
2. **Do I need to authorize my wallet to the CatFee platform?**\
   **No authorization is needed.**\
   All staking and resource delegation actions are completed entirely within your personal wallet. CatFee neither accesses nor controls your assets, ensuring **100% self-custody and security**.
3. **How do I participate in a Staking Vault project?**\
   On the CatFee platform, click **“Join Now”** on the project page.\
   You will see the **receiver address** and **remaining quota** of the project.\
   In your wallet, delegate your staked Energy or Bandwidth to the receiver address.\
   Please make sure that:

* You **do not select “lock”** when delegating.
* Your delegated amount does **not exceed the project’s available quota** (excess amounts will not earn earnings).

4. **Where will my earnings be sent?**\
   By default, earnings will be sent to the **wallet address you used to delegate resources**.\
   In the future, we will support setting a **custom earning address**.
5. **When will I start earning ?**\
   Earnings begin **24 hours after your delegation** is successful.\
   Once your **accumulated earnings reach ≥ 10 TRX**, the system will automatically distribute them to your delegation address.
6. **How is my earnings guaranteed?**\
   Each project on CatFee deposits a **security fund**. You can view the **guarantee coverage date** on the project page.\
   This date indicates how long the security fund can cover full earnings **if the project’s quota is fully used**, so your earnings are **100% guaranteed** during that period.
7. **How can I confirm if my delegated resources are recognized by the platform?**\
   Use the platform’s **“**[Address Information Query](https://catfee.io/staking/#query)**”** tool:\
   Enter your wallet address to view delegation status, including delegation and reclaim records.
8. **When can I delegate more resources?**\
   You can **delegate at any time**.\
   The system will track time precisely to the minute and calculate earnings accordingly. You can also view your earning progress on the platform.
9. **When can I reclaim my resources?**\
   You can **reclaim anytime** through your wallet.\
   The system will calculate your earnings based on the duration before the reclaim, and all records are available on the platform.
10. **How can I estimate my future earnings?**\
    Use the platform’s **“**[Address Information Query](https://catfee.io/staking/#query)**”** tool:\
    Check your current delegation status, and the system will show your estimated earnings and next settlement time.
11. **How can I view my earnings history?**\
    Use the **“**[Address Information Query](https://catfee.io/staking/#query)**”** tool:\
    Enter your wallet address to see all earnings payout details for that address.
12. **Why are the delegated resources automatically being recalled?**\
    In some cases, your wallet address may have previously granted **`Reclaim Resources` permission to other platforms**. These platforms might automatically reclaim any resources that were **not delegated through their own system**.\
    We recommend either **locking the delegation** when submitting it, or **revoking `Reclaim Resources` permissions** from those other platforms to prevent this issue.
13. **What happens to the delegated Bandwidth/Energy after the 'covered until date'？**\
    The "covered until" date just means the current end date based on the existing security deposit. As more deposit is added, that date will keep extending. **For our own pool, we plan to keep it running continuously, so the date will keep moving forward.**\
    We designed this deposit-based system because in the future, we may open the platform to more users who want to buy energy, and that could mean multiple different pools. Some of those third-party pools might actually stop after their coverage ends, but **ours will stay active for the long term**.\
    After the "covered until" date, if you don’t withdraw the delegated Bandwidth or Energy, it will simply remain there without generating any further earnings. **You can still reclaim it anytime** — the system is designed to be flexible, so there's no penalty or forced lock-up. Just keep in mind that only actively delegated resources during the coverage period will earn rewards.
