Why More Energy is Consumed When the Recipient Has No USDT

In the TRON network, when executing smart contract operations, "Energy" is consumed to process the computation and execution of these operations. If a smart contract operation is more complex, it requires more computational resources and therefore consumes more energy. This concept is similar to Gas in the Ethereum network, where complex operations require more Gas to execute.

If the recipient doesn't have sufficient energy (meaning they haven't obtained enough energy by freezing TRX or their energy has been consumed by previous operations), then performing operations may require paying additional TRX as fees to obtain the necessary energy. This is because the network needs some mechanism to process and execute these operations, and these mechanisms require resources (such as computational power). If users or contracts haven't prepared sufficient energy in advance, they need to supplement it during execution, which typically means paying TRX to purchase the required additional energy.

The reasons why executing smart contracts on the TRON network may require consuming more energy include:

  1. Contract Complexity: More complex smart contracts require more computation, therefore consuming more energy.

  2. Data Storage Requirements: If smart contract operations involve large amounts of data storage or modification, this may also lead to higher energy consumption.

  3. Network Congestion: During times of high network usage, executing contracts may require more energy. Although this is more associated with Gas prices in the Ethereum network, resource allocation and fees on the TRON network may also be affected by network conditions.

Overall, if the party executing operations doesn't have sufficient energy, this means they must bear additional costs to ensure their transactions or smart contract operations can be processed and executed by the network. This emphasizes the importance of planning and managing energy consumption in advance when conducting transactions or developing smart contracts.
