TronLink (Wallet)


TronLink is undisputedly the official Blockchain wallet of Tron-- a non-custodial wallet and it links to the Tron Ecosystem or a gateway to access and explore the Tron Ecosystem, hence named as TronLink.

It posses the feature of all-in-one wallet which can be operated on various systems like Android, iOS, Huawei HarmonyOS, Chrome Extension, etc.

TronLink is an ideal web 3.0 wallet that is compatible and seamlessly integrated, powered by the smart contract, enabling users to interact with the dApps.

Tronscan (Website)


Tronscan is noted to be the first and best Block explorer of the Tron Blockchain.

My Transaction experience using JustSwap and the screenshots.


I did a swap of 1TRX for about 1.16JST by using the JustSwap dApp in Tronlink and below are the screenshots I took from the process:

  • I went to "Discover" in order to discover more features instead of the "Market" section which has an Instant Swap feature on the Tronlink app and I clicked on JustSwap among the other Tron related dApps because I intended to make a token swap of TRX and JST.

My regards to my dearest brother @gentles who has been helping me out whole-heartedly in terms of financial and technical support on this noble platform.

In fact I lost about 35 TRX in the process of linking my Tronlink wallet to my steemit wallet and he aided me with 20 TRX which I used to activate my Tronlink wallet and proceeded with the transaction as the assignment required.

Conclusion


I am very glad after going through the transaction experiences and learning about Tronlink and Tronscan.
I really appreciate it, although I lost a couple TRX along the line due to my ignorance of not activating my Tronlink wallet or account before initiating the linking process.
I know these experiences will have a positive impact on me and help shape my competence level in the world of crypto.

Thank you and have a blessed day.

hello @phlexygee;

I had a similar experiment to yours while preparing the assignment and thought I had lost my TRXs.

I don't know, maybe you're talking about something else, but I realized my mistake and found a solution. I would like to share with you.
Click the link an existing tron in the Wallet section.

Now go to the PDF file provided when registering and enter the tron address there. You will also enter your password and TRXs are coming back :)

I hope I could help.

Thank you for your concern.
I linked the wallet to my existing TronLink Wallet but unfortunately it wasn't activated because I never received a transfer of TRX from a different user into my wallet.
After receiving a transfer help from my Brother my TronLink Wallet was activated and I didn't get the TRX back after linking my account on steemit.
The TRX I have now is the balance of what I received from my Brother.
