This move brings the fast and inexpensive TRON blockchain. It is directly one of the most used standalone custodial wallets in crypto.
MetaMask, developed by Consensys, is used by tens of millions of people around the world. By adding TRON natively. Here, users can now manage TRON-based assets without switching applications or resorting to custom network workarounds.
What Native TRON Support Means for Users
Native support means MetaMask now connects directly to the TRON network. So users can send, receive and hold TRON assets with the same interface they are already familiar with. There is no need to manually add settings or depend on third-party tools.
TRON is known for its fast settlement and very low fees. This makes it popular for payments and stablecoins. A concrete example is USDT on TRON. It has become one of the most widely used rails for dollar transfers in emerging markets. Many users rely on TRON to quickly transfer funds between exchanges. Also, to send money across borders at a fraction of traditional costs.
TRON announced today that @MetaMask launched native support for TRON on its mobile and browser extension platforms.
