MetaMask, one of the world’s most widely used self-custody crypto wallets developed by Consensys, has officially launched native support for the TRON blockchain across both its mobile app and browser extension wallets. This major update allows users to manage TRX assets and interact with TRON-based decentralized applications (DApps) directly within the MetaMask interface — eliminating the need for additional wallets or complex workarounds.
The integration was completed in collaboration with TRON DAO, the community-governed organization behind the TRON network. It marks a key milestone in MetaMask’s multichain expansion strategy — following earlier support for networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Base, and Sei.
What the New Support Means for Users
Under the update, MetaMask users can now:
- Store, send, and receive TRX tokens directly in their MetaMask wallet.
- Interact with TRON-native DApps without leaving the wallet.
- Send USDT and other TRC-20 tokens on the TRON network.
- Stake TRX to earn blockchain resources like bandwidth and energy (currently supported through the mobile app).
This integration automatically generates a TRON address for users who update to the latest version of MetaMask, making the experience seamless and intuitive.
Unified Multichain Wallet Experience
MetaMask’s native TRON support is part of its broader mission to become a unified access point for multiple blockchains, simplifying how users manage assets and participate in decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. With the update, assets and transactions on TRON can be accessed alongside those on EVM-compatible networks, Solana, and Bitcoin — all within the same wallet.
By consolidating blockchain access, the integration reduces friction previously created by the need for separate wallets or bridges to move assets across different networks.
Impact on TRON Adoption and Ecosystem Access
TRON is one of the most active blockchain networks for stablecoins, with more than $21 billion in daily stablecoin transfer volume — making it a key platform for payments and financial activity around the world.
According to TRON DAO, expanding access through MetaMask is expected to boost participation in TRON’s ecosystem, especially for users who already rely on MetaMask as their primary Web3 wallet.
Statements from the Teams
Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at TRON DAO, highlighted the significance of the integration: native TRON support in MetaMask “broadens access to a blockchain that processes massive stablecoin activity,” enabling users to interact seamlessly with high-performance decentralized networks.
Rizvi Haider, Staff Product Manager at MetaMask, described the update as “another milestone in our multichain expansion strategy,” reinforcing the wallet’s shift from a primarily Ethereum-centric tool to a broader ecosystem-agnostic platform.
What Users Need to Know
- Update Required: To access the new features, users should update the MetaMask mobile app or browser extension to the latest release.
- Staking on Mobile: Staking TRX is currently supported on the mobile version, offering rewards in network resources.
- Multichain Swaps: The wallet also supports cross-chain swaps, enabling users to move assets across TRON and other supported networks.
