Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, has announced plans for a gas-free stablecoin solution aimed at enhancing corporate adoption of blockchain technology.
Set to launch on the Tron blockchain in the fourth quarter and later on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains, this solution would allow peer-to-peer transfers without gas fees, covered entirely by the stablecoins.
Our team is developing a new solution that enables gas-free stablecoin transfers. In other words, transfers can be made without paying any gas tokens, with the fees being entirely covered by the stablecoins themselves.

Sun believes this could significantly ease corporate deployment of stablecoin services and drive blockchain mass adoption.
Currently, Tron dominates the peer-to-peer stablecoin transfer market, processing higher volumes than Ethereum.
Tron hosts a significant portion of Tether’s USDT, and its new solution could compete with offerings like PayPal’s PYUSD and Circle’s USDC on Ethereum layer-2 Base.
Tron is also exploring a Bitcoin layer-2 solution for a “wrapped” version of Tether, potentially integrating billions of dollars into the Bitcoin ecosystem.
