TRON Integrates with Base to Boost Cross-Chain TRX Access

As a significant interoperability step, TRON DAO announced that TRON integrates with Base and enables cross-chain TRX access to the growing Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem at Coinbase. Through LayerZero’s cross-chain messaging protocol, the integration will enable TRX, the native utility token of TRON, to be bridged to Base to help users access TRX directly in the Base App via decentralized exchanges like Aerodrome.

About TRON DAO: Advancing Blockchain Adoption at Scale

TRON DAO is a community-governed decentralized autonomous organization that works to speed up the decentralization of the internet using blockchain technology and dApps. TRON was established in September 2017 and has experienced rapid growth since the launch of its MainNet in May 2018. 

As of December 2025, the TRON blockchain has recorded over 351 million user accounts, more than 12 billion total transactions, and over $23 billion in TVL, according to TRONSCAN. TRON is known as a universal settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and daily digital payments worldwide.

How TRON Integrates with Base Using LayerZero

TRON integrates with Base via the cross-chain messaging protocol of LayerZero. This infrastructure enables assets to be transferred safely and efficiently across blockchains without affecting decentralization or user experience. Hence, this integration provides a direct swap option into the Base network for all TRX holders and lets them also interact with decentralized finance applications native to Base. This opens new liquidity routes and increases the usability of TRX within the Layer 2 Ethereum ecosystem.

Justin Sun on Why TRON Integrates with Base

The integration, according to Justin Sun, founder of TRON, is a significant milestone in “making blockchain networks operate more seamlessly together.” Sun stated that uniting TRON with Base will assist blockchain networks to run more efficiently together and increase their connection and scaling.

He pointed out that both ecosystems will enhance each other by “improving interoperability, broadening access for developers and users, and supporting secure on-chain activity across networks.” Sun also highlighted that the partnership represents a “shared focus” to develop solutions that can support the needs of the real users, rather than limiting activity to isolated ecosystems.

TRON’s Network Scale Adds Weight to the Integration 

The announcement that TRON integrates with Base is underscored by TRON’s significant real-world adoption. Since the launch of its mainnet in 2018, TRON has become a key settlement layer in the global digital financial ecosystem. 

Key metrics highlighting why TRON’s integration into Base is remarkable for both ecosystems:

• Transfer volume of more than $23 trillion cumulative.
• More than 350 million user accounts
• More than 23 billion of total value locked (TVL)
• About 10 million transactions in a day.
• Over 24 billion in daily transfer volume
• Approximately 3.37 million daily active accounts.

One of the most debatable issues has always been the need to reduce friction between centralized and decentralized finance. This integration facilitates less friction between centralized platforms and decentralized finance by connecting TRON to the scalable Ethereum Layer 2 environment of Base. Users can access on-chain activity more easily, and developers have more liquidity and chain interoperability.

Final Words: TRON Integrates with Base to Expand TRX Access

In conclusion, TRON integration with Base marks a significant step forward for blockchain interoperability and user access. Enabling TRX on the Base network at Coinbase enhances connection among ecosystems, increases liquidity options, and facilitates smooth cross-chain interactions. TRON’s established scale and the efficiency of Layer 2 offered by Base would position both networks for broader adoption and real-world use.
