MoonPay and the TRON DAO enter a strategic collaboration to make gasless transactions a reality

We're excited to announce that MoonPay and the TRON DAO have entered a strategic collaboration to make gasless transactions a reality on TRON. TRON is one of the largest networks for stablecoin settlement in the world, processing millions of transactions every day. 

Every transaction on TRON consumes network resources settled in TRX, the native utility token of the TRON Network. For years this created a simple problem. A user could hold stablecoins on TRON and still be unable to move them without first acquiring TRX for gas. This collaboration removes that barrier. Through MoonPay Trade’s smart contracts, the gas requirement is handled behind the scenes with the network fee captured in the overall cost of the transaction, so users send what they already hold without having to maintain a separate TRX gas balance.

This changes the experience from the very first transaction. New users who receive stablecoins on TRON can use them right away, with no separate token to buy first. The result is fewer failed transactions, transaction costs cut by as much as 10x, smoother conversion, and a flow that feels closer to trading on a CEX than a blockchain operation. For the businesses and wallets building on TRON, that means far less drop off at the moment users are trying to use their crypto.

Trust Wallet is the first launch partner for this experience, giving its own users gasless transactions on TRON from day one using MoonPay’s Trade’s smart contract infrastructure.

“TRON empowers millions of users around the world who rely on the network for everyday payments,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “The network was created on the belief that blockchains should be accessible, easy to use, and give individuals greater control over how they transact. The collaboration with MoonPay advances that vision by simplifying stablecoin transactions on TRON and making everyday onchain payments easier for users.”

“Stablecoins are transforming how money moves, but they need to work seamlessly across every network,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay. “TRON is one of the world’s most important stablecoin ecosystems, and removing the need to hold TRX eliminates unnecessary friction for users. Together with TRON DAO, we’re making stablecoin transfers simpler and more accessible for millions of people worldwide.”

Gasless transactions on TRON are available now, starting with Trust Wallet.
