MetaMask, the widely used self-custody crypto wallet originally built for Ethereum, has added native support for the TRON blockchain across both its mobile and browser extension platforms, continuing its push beyond Ethereum into a full-featured multichain wallet after recent integrations with Bitcoin and Solana.
The update allows MetaMask users to manage TRON-based assets such as TRX and TRC-20 tokens, interact with TRON decentralized applications, send USDT on the TRON network, and even stake TRX directly within the wallet interface without needing separate wallets or third-party tools. TRON’s blockchain is a major settlement layer for global stablecoin activity, processing billions in transfers and serving active DeFi and payment use cases.
“The TRON native integration into MetaMask significantly broadens access to a blockchain that processes more than $21 billion in daily stablecoin transfer volume,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at TRON DAO.“This empowers more users worldwide to interact with TRON’s growing ecosystem directly through a familiar wallet environment, supporting real-world payment and DeFi use cases at scale.”
MetaMask’s Staff Product Manager, Rizvi Haider, added that this launch is “another milestone in our multichain expansion strategy,” bringing TRON alongside Solana and Bitcoin as non-EVM chains supported through a unified interface aimed at simplifying access to Web3.
