TRON DAO has integrated the TRON blockchain with Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase, allowing users to bridge TRX directly into the Base ecosystem.
The integration, which went live this week, uses the cross-chain messaging protocol LayerZero. It enables TRX to move between the TRON network and Base without centralized intermediaries.
Users can now access TRX inside Base-supported applications. They can also trade the token on decentralized exchanges built on Base, including Aerodrome.
TRON DAO stated that the integration reduces friction for users who operate across multiple blockchains. It also opens a new path for TRON liquidity to enter Ethereum-compatible decentralized finance markets.
The move expands TRON’s presence within infrastructure closely tied to Coinbase. Base has positioned itself as a scaling layer that supports high-volume activity and simpler user onboarding.
Justin Sun, founder of TRON, said the integration improves interoperability between major blockchain ecosystems. He said developers and users increasingly expect seamless access across networks.
Base founder Jesse Pollak acknowledged the launch in a public post. He emphasized Base’s focus on openness and broad participation.
User adoption rises alongside daily transaction activity
TRON launched its mainnet in 2018 and has focused on rapid settlement and low transaction costs. According to TRONSCAN, the network has processed more than $23 trillion in cumulative transfer volume.
The blockchain now supports over 350 million user accounts. It processes around 10 million transactions per day on average.
CoinMarketCap data shows that TRON has more than $23 billion in total locked value. These figures place it among the most active public blockchains by usage.
The Base integration comes as a continuation of the recent expansions by TRON outside of its ecosystem. In the first half of this year, the prediction market site Kalshi became capable of accepting TRON deposits and withdrawals.
The move allowed users to exchange TRX and USDT based on TRON in a regulated event market environment. It emphasized the increasing interconnections between blockchain infrastructure and mainstream financial systems.
TRON brings TRX liquidity into Ethereum’s Base ecosystem
According to market participants, large networks no longer focus on isolation but connection. Cross-chain access is now a perfunctory necessity throughout the crypto world.
By introducing TRX to Base, TRON joins an ecosystem of Ethereum-based developers and applications. Base in turn gathers liquidity through a network that processes some of the largest volumes of transactions in crypto.
Layer 2 networks such as Base are progressively becoming points of entry. They usually give the initial level of interaction to the new users.
The acquisition also puts TRON in a more accessible position to Coinbase-linked infrastructure, potentially enhancing the exposure of institutional and retail players.
According to the recent integrations, TRON is developing a more ecosystem-focused strategy based on accessibility. The partnership with Base highlights TRON’s strategy to adapt as interoperability changes the crypto landscape.
As cross-chain activity increases, networks that are efficient gain a benefit, and the transition of TRON to Base indicates that it is going to compete not in isolation but in integration.
