# Setup Tron Gas Manager
> The Tron Gas Manager automates gas sponsorship, resource allocation (Energy and Bandwidth), and address activation for TRON transactions. By pre-funding a dedicated workspace wallet with TRX, the platform automatically manages resource delegation to eliminate native gas friction for end-users executing TRC-20 transfers.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
* An active API key with the necessary write permissions configured for the target environment (Sandbox or Live).
Access to the OpenXSwitch Console with workspace administrator privileges.
## The Plan
In this guide, we will cover:
1. **Navigating to Tron Gas Manager**
2. **Activating the Gas Manager on your workspace**
3. **Funding the Gas Manager**
## Step 1: Navigate to Tron Gas Manager
1. Log into the **OpenXSwitch Console**.
2. From the left navigation menu, navigate to **Wallet Infrastructure** → **Settings** → **Tron Gas Manager**.
## Step 2: Activate the Gas Manager
1. Click the **Setup Gas Manager** button.
2. A confirmation modal will appear detailing the automated delegation workflow.
3. Confirm the setup to generate a dedicated TRON wallet specifically assigned to manage workspace gas sponsorship and account activations.
## Step 3: Fund the Gas Manager
~~To~~ power automated resource delegation and cover mandatory 1 TRX account activation fees, the dedicated Tron Gas Manager wallet must hold a TRX balance:
1. Copy the generated **Tron Gas Manager** wallet address from the console.
2. Deposit native TRX into the address:
1. **Testnet (Nile):** Request testnet TRX via the [Nileex TRON Faucet](https://nileex.io/join/getJoinPage).
2. **Mainnet:** Transfer TRX directly to the dedicated wallet address.
3. Once the deposit is confirmed on-chain, the Tron Gas Manager automatically handles Energy delegation, Bandwidth allocation, and account activation whenever workspace addresses initiate USDT or TRC-20 token transfers.
## Step 4: Next Steps
* **[Create and Manage Wallets](/guides/dev-guides/create-and-manage-wallets):** Deploy chain-specific smart wallets or deposit addresses linked directly to your users.
* [Send and Transfer Tokens](/guides/dev-guides/send-and-transfer-tokens): Programmatically move digital assets from a specified wallet address to an external or internal recipient address.
