The popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask (Little Fox) is expanding its territory once again. The team announced on Tuesday that it has reached a strategic cooperation with TRON DAO, allowing users to interact directly with the TRON ecosystem and use TRON assets through MetaMask.
Since being incubated 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 globally; as for TRON (TRX), it is currently a highly active blockchain ecosystem, particularly dominating the stablecoin payment sector for many years.
This collaboration is seen as mutually beneficial: one side is the 'gateway' to the Web3 world, while 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 popularization of stablecoins, blockchains that can balance high throughput, deep liquidity, and low transaction costs are gradually becoming the pillars 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 successively integrated public chains such as Solana and Sei, gradually stepping out of the 'Ethereum wallet' positioning. Earlier this year, the team revealed that support for Bitcoin is expected to begin in the third quarter of this year.
MetaMask's Director of Business Development, Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, stated that expanding to multiple EVM and non-EVM public blockchains not only makes MetaMask's functionality more flexible but also turns it into a true 'Web3 gateway.'
According to data released by TRON, the TRON blockchain processes nearly 9 million transactions daily, with an average settlement amount reaching 22 billion USD, making it the preferred blockchain for global Tether (USDT) transfers.
