- TRX is now tradable on Base via LayerZero, bringing TRON liquidity into Ethereum Layer 2 markets.
- Developers on Base can tap TRON’s user base and stablecoin flow without extra bridging steps.
TRON DAO has announced a connection between its blockchain and Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network started by Coinbase. The connection uses LayerZero and allows TRX, the native token of TRON, to be sent directly onto the Base network. Users can find TRX inside the Base App and trade it on decentralized exchanges such as Aerodrome.
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, said,
“The integration between TRON and Base is a meaningful step toward making blockchain networks operate more seamlessly together. Bringing TRON and Base together is an important milestone in expanding how blockchain networks connect and scale.”
TRON leaders present the Base connection as part of a wider plan to support fast and secure settlement for users and institutions in many regions. The project has set out to make blockchain payments easier to reach and to lower costs for regular activity. Linking TRX with a major Ethereum Layer 2 network adds a new route for the plan and brings extra reach for on-chain use.
Scale of The TRON Network
Since the mainnet launch in 2018, TRON has grown into one of the largest settlement layers in global digital finance. The network has processed more than 23 trillion dollars in cumulative transfer volume. User accounts are over 350 million, indicating the widespread level of engagement.
The wider ecosystem also holds over 23 billion dollars in total value locked, tied to applications and assets built on TRON. On a typical day, the chain records around 10 million transactions and serves about 3.37 million daily active accounts. Activity at that size gives TRON an established base of users and liquidity for any new link with another chain.
TRON has also become home to the largest share of circulating USDT stablecoins, with supply on the network above 80 billion dollars. The pool of dollar-linked tokens plays a central role in trading and transfers for users who want stable-value funds. With the Base integration live, liquidity now has a path toward Ethereum Layer 2 markets.
New Options For Developers And On-Chain Finance
The bridge to Base gives developers on Ethereum Layer 2 a direct path to TRX and the wider TRON economy. Builders of decentralized applications on Base can now incorporate TRX into their services, whether used for payments, trading pairs, or rewards. The new linkage supports easier design of cross-chain tools without forcing users to handle complex steps.
Users on Base gain another asset for trading or staking inside decentralized finance services. TRX can be exchanged against other tokens listed on Base-based exchanges, with settlement handled on the Layer 2 network. Liquidity and activity from TRON may, over time, strengthen markets on Base by drawing in participants who already rely on TRX on the original chain.
TRON brings scale in users, transactions, and stablecoin usage, while Base offers a low-cost, high-speed Ethereum Layer 2 setting.
