The widely popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask (Little Fox) expands its territory once again. The team announced on Tuesday a strategic partnership with TRON DAO, allowing users to interact directly with the TRON ecosystem and use TRON assets through MetaMask.
Since its incubation by Ethereum infrastructure developer Consensys in 2016, MetaMask has accumulated over 100 million annual active users, making it the most widely used self-custody wallet in the world; meanwhile, TRON (TRX) is currently a highly active blockchain ecosystem, especially dominating the stablecoin payment sector for many years.
This partnership is seen as mutually beneficial: on one side is the 'gateway' of the Web3 world, and on the other is the 'artery' of crypto finance.
TRON founder Justin Sun stated: 'The integration of TRON with MetaMask enhances interoperability across ecosystems. With the popularity of stablecoins, blockchains that can simultaneously provide high throughput, deep liquidity, and low transaction costs are gradually becoming the backbone of digital finance.'
In fact, this is not the first time MetaMask has taken steps towards cross-chain functionality. Over the past year, the wallet has integrated with public chains such as Solana and Sei, gradually stepping away from its positioning as an 'Ethereum wallet'. Earlier this year, the team revealed plans to support Bitcoin starting in the third quarter.
MetaMask's Business Development Director Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi stated that expanding to multiple EVM and non-EVM public chains not only makes MetaMask's functions more flexible but also establishes it as a true 'Web3 gateway'.
According to data released by TRON, the TRON blockchain processes nearly 9 million transactions daily, with an average daily settlement amount reaching 22 billion USD, making it the preferred blockchain for Tether (USDT) transfers worldwide.
