TRON account not activated: how to activate an address
A new TRON address exists only after it receives its first TRX: that transfer activates it, and the sender pays about 1.1 TRX for creating the account. Until then the address can receive tokens but cannot send anything.
Check the address below to see whether it is activated, its energy and its bandwidth.
