MetaMask signs strategic partnership with TRON DAO, allowing over 100 million users to directly interact with an ecosystem processing 22 billion USD in daily transactions.
MetaMask, the world's largest self-custodial wallet developer, has announced a strategic partnership with TRON DAO to enable users to participate and directly interact with the TRON ecosystem. The announcement was made on Tuesday, marking an important step in MetaMask's expansion strategy beyond traditional Ethereum.
This move is rational as MetaMask is the self-custodial wallet with the largest user base, while TRON is one of the most actively operating blockchain ecosystems, especially in the role of stablecoin payment infrastructure. The integration of TRON is also the latest step in MetaMask's expansion, including Solana and Sei, as the wallet gradually moves beyond Ethereum's limits.
TRON founder Justin Sun shared with The Block that the MetaMask integration strengthens interoperability between ecosystems. Sun emphasized that as stablecoin adoption accelerates, networks that can continuously provide high throughput, deep liquidation, and low transaction costs are becoming pillars of global digital finance.
MetaMask Business Development Director Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi emphasized that expanding support for multiple EVM and non-EVM blockchains not only makes MetaMask more versatile but also becomes a true web3 gateway. This provides a familiar and safe interface for users when exploring different blockchain environments and applications.
Leveraging a massive user base
Incubated in 2016 by Ethereum development company ConsenSys, MetaMask now claims to serve over 100 million active users annually. This extensive user base creates enormous opportunities for TRON to expand its global influence.
TRON DAO spokesperson Sam Elfarra noted that the large and established user base makes MetaMask an important gateway to decentralized applications. Integrating TRON into this platform not only expands global user accessibility but also consolidates TRON's position as a basic infrastructure layer for global digital finance.
The MetaMask team particularly acknowledges TRON's global acceptance, spanning regions like Asia, South America, Africa, and Europe, where TRON holds the number one blockchain position for USDT transactions. According to TRON, the network processes over 22 billion USD in transaction value daily and nearly 9 million transactions.
Founded by Justin Sun in 2017, TRON is a high-performance Layer 1, using TRX gas token and a custom Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, designed with a certain level of compatibility with Ethereum. In addition to Ethereum's Layer 2 chains that MetaMask has integrated, the wallet previously allowed users to connect to non-EVM networks through Snaps plugins.
Sun added that the integration with MetaMask expands this capability to a larger user base, strengthening interoperability and supporting the next stage of real-world adoption. Earlier this year, the MetaMask team signaled that they would add Bitcoin support in Q3 2025, indicating the platform's continued expansion ambitions.
