Beginner’s Guide to SunSwap V2: Trade TRC‑20 Tokens Easily

Introduction

SunSwap V2 is the upgraded decentralized exchange (DEX) built for the TRON blockchain, enabling users to trade TRC‑20 tokens easily, provide liquidity, and benefit from SUN token incentives. Unlike its earlier versions, V2 enhances flexibility by allowing direct token‑to‑token swaps (without needing TRX as intermediary). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

In this guide, you’ll learn how to use SunSwap V2 (spot swaps, LPs), understand its fee structure, and see what’s coming for perps and lending units in the TRON ecosystem.

How to Swap TRC‑20 Tokens (Spot)

Swapping tokens is the core function of SunSwap V2. Here's how to do it:

1. Connect your TRON wallet (e.g. TronLink) to SunSwap V2. No KYC is needed. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
2. Choose the input TRC‑20 token and the output token you wish to receive.
3. Enter amount, review estimated output and slippage. V2 routing ensures you get a reasonable price. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
4. Approve the token (if needed), then confirm the swap. A 0.3% fee is applied (0.25% to liquidity providers, 0.05% may be burned or go to incentives). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
5. Wait for the transaction to finalize—on TRON, this is typically fast and inexpensive.

Note: Because TRON is high throughput and low cost, many swaps finalize in seconds, with minimal gas/energy consumption.

Provide Liquidity & Earn Rewards

If you want to earn trading fees (and SUN rewards), you can become a liquidity provider (LP). Here’s how:

• Select a trading pair (e.g. USDT/TRX or other TRC‑20 tokens) under “Pools.”
• Deposit equal values of both tokens into the pool to receive LP tokens. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Stake your LP tokens in farming pools (if available) to earn additional SUN token rewards. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• When you want to exit, redeem your LP tokens to get back your share of the pool’s reserves plus earned fees.

One handy feature: SunSwap V2 offers a “liquidity migration tool” so that LPs on older V1/V1.5 pools can migrate easily to V2. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Fees & Tokenomics

The fee model on SunSwap V2 is straightforward:

• A 0.3% trading fee is charged on every swap. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• Out of this fee, 0.25% goes to liquidity providers, and 0.05% is used for protocol incentives or token burn. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Because TRON’s network fees (gas, energy) are low relative to many chains, the overall cost to trade is very competitive. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Perpetuals & Lending: Present Status

As of now, **SunSwap V2 does not natively support perpetuals (derivatives) or lending/borrowing modules** within its interface. Many TRON DeFi users rely on protocols like JustLend for lending or (emerging) initiatives like SunPerp for derivatives. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

However, because SunSwap is central in the TRON ecosystem, its liquidity and token behavior are often used as underlying infrastructure for other protocols to build derivatives or lending overlays.
