Justin Sun Announces TRON's Largest Fee Cut
Date: 2025-09-01 Author: Gabriel Deangelo Categories: BUSINESS
TRON blockchain founder Justin Sun announced a major change to the network: transaction fees have been reduced by 60% at once. This decision was the largest revision of the network's terms of use since its launch. According to Sun, this reduction came into effect on August 29, 2025 at 20:00 Beijing time after the proposal was supported by the Super Representative community.
Sun noted that in the short term, this decision will lead to a decrease in network revenue, since fees are an important source of its profit. However, in the long term, the cost reduction is expected to increase the attractiveness of the blockchain to users and developers, stimulating growth in activity and the expansion of the ecosystem.
In the future, the size of the fees will be reviewed regularly - once per quarter. Such decisions will be based on several key factors: the dynamics of the TRX rate, the overall level of transaction activity in the network, and the speed of development of the TRON ecosystem. This approach will allow for a flexible response to market changes and user needs.
TRON has traditionally occupied a prominent place in the market due to its high throughput and low costs, which has made the network popular among projects working with stablecoins and decentralized applications. At the same time, TRON has repeatedly become the subject of discussions due to the high volume of shadow turnover of digital assets. Thus, in June 2025, the famous crypto detective ZachXBT reported that the volume of illegal turnover of stablecoins in the TRON ecosystem could reach $5-10 billion.
Nevertheless, the project team continues to implement changes aimed at improving conditions for users and developers. Reducing fees is seen as an important step to strengthen TRON's competitiveness amid growing competition in the blockchain industry.
According to experts, such measures can not only attract new participants, but also increase trust in the network in the context of intense competition for liquidity and users between large blockchain platforms. Ultimately, the success of the initiative will depend on how quickly the TRON ecosystem can increase transaction volume and compensate for losses from reduced fees.
Thus, the decision to reduce fees by 60% has become an important milestone in the development of TRON and a signal that the team is ready to adapt to changing market conditions, focusing on long-term growth and expansion of the ecosystem.
