TRON DAO said MetaMask has rolled out native support for the TRON network across both its mobile app and browser extension bringing TRON functionality directly into the popular self-custody wallet.
The move brings TRON’s infrastructure into MetaMask’s multichain environment allowing users to manage TRON-based assets and interact with TRON dApps without relying on additional wallets or complex bridging workflows.
MetaMask is developed by Consensys and is one of the most widely used wallets in the crypto ecosystem, with a growing focus on multichain access beyond Ethereum.
Unified Multichain Experience
With native TRON support, MetaMask users can now swap assets seamlessly across TRON, EVM-compatible networks, Solana, and Bitcoin from a single interface.
The integration allows users to send USDT on TRON, stake TRX, and connect directly to TRON-based decentralized applications, while benefiting from the network’s fast confirmation times and low transaction costs.
By embedding TRON directly into MetaMask, the wallet removes the need for separate extensions or third-party tools, offering a more streamlined experience for users who operate across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
The update reflects MetaMask’s broader strategy to act as a universal access point for Web3, reducing friction for users navigating an increasingly fragmented blockchain landscape.
Expanding Access to a Major Stablecoin Network
TRON has become a core settlement layer for global stablecoin activity, processing more than $21 billion in daily stablecoin transfer volume, according to data cited by the network.
Sam Elfarra, community spokesperson at TRON DAO said the integration broadens access to a blockchain that underpins real-world payment flows and DeFi activity at scale.
By making TRON available through a familiar wallet interface the integration is expected to expand participation in TRON’s ecosystem especially for users who already rely on MetaMask for asset management across other networks.
MetaMask’s Multichain Strategy
For MetaMask, native TRON support represents another step in its multichain expansion. Rizvi Haider, staff product manager at MetaMask said the update follows earlier integrations with Solana and Bitcoin, bringing more non-EVM networks into a unified user experience.
The goal, according to MetaMask, is to meet users where they are by supporting the networks they actively use, while moving closer to a universal gateway for the decentralized economy. Native integrations reduce reliance on bridges and wrapped assets, which have historically introduced added complexity and risk.
Lowering Barriers to Global Web3 Adoption
TRON’s ecosystem has seen strong adoption across regions including Asia, Latin America, and Africa, where stablecoins play an important role in payments, remittances, and on-chain financial activity.
By combining TRON’s high-throughput blockchain with MetaMask’s widely adopted wallet infrastructure, the collaboration aims to lower barriers to entry for both emerging and established markets.
The integration is a broader trend toward wallet-led multichain access, as infrastructure providers seek to simplify how users interact with an expanding universe of blockchain networks and applications.
