MoonPay and TRON DAO Partner to Remove Gas Fee Friction @MoonPay and @TRONDAO have officially launched a strategic partnership aimed at eliminating one of the most persistent friction points
@MoonPay and @TRONDAO have officially launched a strategic partnership aimed at eliminating one of the most persistent friction points in retail crypto: the requirement to hold a native token just to pay network fees. Under the arrangement, users can now complete transactions on the TRON network without holding $TRX to pay network fees, using MoonPay's Trade infrastructure to abstract those costs away entirely.
Traditionally, users transacting on TRON were required to maintain a balance of $TRX, the network's native utility token, to cover network fees even when sending or swapping stablecoins. Through MoonPay's Trade infrastructure, gas fees are abstracted and incorporated into the overall transaction, allowing users to transact with just the assets they already hold.
The integration simplifies onboarding for both new and existing users by removing one of the most common points of friction in on-chain transactions. The practical impact is significant: anyone holding $USDT on the TRON blockchain can now send funds without first acquiring $TRX as a prerequisite step.
Trust Wallet is the first launch partner to support the integration, making gasless transfers immediately accessible within its interface. The partnership arrives at a moment when TRON's stablecoin dominance underscores the scale of the opportunity. TRON has hosted the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT), which currently exceeds $90 billion. The network itself has also reached meaningful adoption milestones: as of August 2026, the TRON blockchain has recorded over 396 million total user accounts, more than 15 billion total transactions, and over $26 billion in total value locked.
The gasless functionality builds on a deepening relationship between the two firms. TRON DAO and MoonPay first announced a strategic partnership focused on enabling TRX purchases for U.S. users, marking the first phase of a broader collaboration aimed at improving on-ramps to decentralised finance.A subsequent phase saw MoonPay launch a TRON wallet, giving users a seamless way to buy, sell, send, and store digital assets on the TRON network, including $TRX and $USDT, without leaving the MoonPay app.
The latest announcement takes that progression further, shifting the focus from access to usability. For the millions of retail participants who use $USDT on TRON primarily as a payment or transfer tool, the removal of the $TRX gas requirement represents a material reduction in complexity and cost.
