Tron has officially joined MetaMask, the world’s most used crypto wallet made by Consensys. This news was shared through a new partnership with Tron DAO.
With this, it makes Tron only the third blockchain outside Ethereum to get full MetaMask support since the wallet started in 2016. Before Tron, MetaMask added Solana and BNB Smart Chain.
According to the press release, users can now use MetaMask to connect directly to the Tron network. This means users can send and receive TRX, work with TRC-20 tokens, use stablecoins, and even trade NFTs, all inside the wallet.
“MetaMask’s extensive user base and established reputation make it a vital gateway to decentralized applications,” said Tron DAO community spokesperson Sam Elfarra.
Tron founder Justin Sun added that “as stablecoin adoption accelerates, networks that can consistently deliver high throughput, liquidity depth, and low transaction costs are emerging as the backbone of digital finance.”
MetaMask Expands Beyond Ethereum
MetaMask has been working to add more blockchains beyond Ethereum. In May, it rolled out support for Solana through an extension and has plans to add Bitcoin later in 2025.
Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, director of business development at MetaMask, said Tron’s strong base in Asia makes it an important chain for reaching users worldwide. Tron itself says it now processes almost nine million transactions daily and moves more than $22 billion in value each day, making it the top blockchain for USDT payments.
MetaMask & Tron’s Momentum in the Market
MetaMask was first released in 2016 and today has more than 100 million active users. The team has been expanding the wallet’s scope through new integrations.
Earlier this year, MetaMask also launched a self-custody crypto card with Mastercard, though it is only available to people on a waiting list. Consensys, the company behind MetaMask, has also considered launching its own token after U.S. regulators closed an investigation into the firm earlier this year.
Tron has grown fast since its launch in 2017. It has become one of the top 10 blockchains by size and is well known for handling stablecoin transfers at low cost. In the United States, Tron has seen new growth after recent regulatory changes.
In June, SRM Entertainment said it would change its name to Tron Inc. and use a treasury strategy based on TRX, with Sun as an adviser.
