The Tron network is integrating into Consensys’ crypto wallet MetaMask, becoming the third major non-Ethereum-based chain to get support since MetaMask launched in 2016.
On Tuesday, Tron DAO announced the strategic partnership with MetaMask, which will natively integrate the Tron (TRX) blockchain into the Consensys-developed self-custodial crypto wallet.
“MetaMask’s extensive user base and established reputation make it a vital gateway to decentralized applications,” said Tron DAO community spokesperson Sam Elfarra.
Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, director of business development at MetaMask, commented on Tron’s strong presence in Asia, adding that the integration helps build bridges across regions and ecosystems.
MetaMask added native support for the Solana blockchain in May with a new extension enabling users to manage Solana SPL tokens. MetaMask also supports BNB Smart Chain and Sei, with the rest of its integrations consisting of Ethereum layer-2 networks.

The addition of the Tron blockchain has been a long time coming, considering it is one of the top 10 blockchains by market capitalization.
The partnership could also turn out to be a further positive for Tron, as MetaMask announced the launch of a self-custody crypto card in partnership with Mastercard in April, though it is only available on a limited waiting list basis at the time of writing.

Tron gains traction after US election
The Tron network has benefited from the crypto regulatory pivot in the United States, with ambitions to go public via a reverse merger in the US.
In June, toy maker SRM Entertainment announced it would rebrand as Tron Inc. and adopt a treasury strategy centered on TRX with Tron founder Justin Sun as an adviser.
Following the announcement, Eric Trump, a son of US President Donald Trump, denied involvement in Tron’s public offering pursuit but said “I’m the biggest fan of Tron,” adding that he admires Sun and considers him a “great friend and icon in the crypto space.”
Sun has been one of the biggest buyers of Trump’s memecoin (TRUMP) and attended the president’s VIP gala dinner in May.
TRX continues its uptrend
Tron’s native token, TRX, surged 166% following the November US election, spiking to an all-time high of $0.43 in early December 2024, though the move was short-lived.
The asset has been in a solid uptrend for most of this year, powering past its 2021 market cycle peak, gaining 37% year-to-date, and currently trading at $0.347, according to CoinGecko.
