Calculate Tron network resource costs for any address via x402 micropayment.
What it does
The Tron Resource Calculator is a paid API endpoint hosted on the EruditePay x402 Bridge. It accepts a POST request with a Tron address (T-prefix base58) and a chain parameter, and returns resource calculation data for that address on the Tron network. The endpoint is operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC, a FinCEN MSB-registered entity.
Payment is handled via the x402 protocol (version 2). The endpoint accepts two payment options: USDC on Base (eip155:8453) at $0.05 per call, or USDT on Tron (tron:728126428) at $0.05 per call. Both use the "exact" payment scheme with a 300-second timeout. The facilitator for Base payments is Coinbase CDP.
The response format is JSON, returning a success boolean and a data object. The exact contents of the data object are not documented in detail — the example output shows an empty data object, so the specific fields returned for a real address are not confirmed from available materials. The endpoint is live and returning a proper 402 challenge. Documentation at docs.eruditepay.com is referenced on the landing page but the /docs path on the bridge itself returns a 404.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Estimate Tron bandwidth and energy costs before executing transactions
- —Analyze resource allocation for a Tron wallet address
- —Integrate Tron resource data into a multi-chain portfolio dashboard
- —Pre-flight check resource availability before smart contract calls on Tron
Fit
Best for
- —Developers building Tron-integrated applications who need resource cost estimates
- —Agents or bots that need programmatic Tron resource lookups with crypto micropayments
- —Multi-chain analytics platforms that include Tron coverage
Not for
- —Users who need free Tron resource lookups (free alternatives exist like TronGrid)
- —Non-Tron blockchain resource calculations
- —Users without USDC on Base or USDT on Tron to pay for calls

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 v2 challenge with clear pricing and payment options. However, the response schema is essentially undocumented (example shows empty data object), there is no OpenAPI spec, and the external docs link returns a 404. The actual fields returned in the data object are unknown.
Warnings
- —The example output shows an empty data object — actual response fields for a real Tron address are not documented.
- —docs.eruditepay.com is referenced but /docs on the bridge returns 404; full API documentation is unavailable.
- —The 'chain' input parameter description says 'e.g. base, ethereum, tron' but the endpoint path is specifically /tron/resource-calculator — it is unclear what effect non-tron chain values have.
