Tron (TRX) network founder Justin Sun announced via his social media platform X account that transaction fees on the Tron network will be significantly reduced this week. Sun’s announcement aims to attract more users to the Tron network, particularly in the memecoin and NFT sectors. The goal is to enable users to perform more economical and faster transactions, which is expected to create significant activity within the Tron ecosystem.
Sun: Transaction Fees Are Not Competitive
Sun emphasized in his message that the current transaction fees on the Tron network are not competitive, causing users to turn to other blockchain networks. Lowering Tron’s transaction fees will encourage more transactions and attract new users to the ecosystem. This move has the potential to increase Tron’s market share by drawing the attention of small investors and content creators.
Tron aims to offer a user-friendly experience with low transaction fees, which is expected to have a significant impact on the memecoin and NFT markets. In the NFT market, transaction fees are a significant barrier frequently encountered by artists and collectors.
With this move, Tron aims to provide a more cost-effective network for artists and content creators, reducing these barriers.
Increased Usage and Adoption of the Network Expected
Sun stated that the reduction in transaction fees will make the Tron network more accessible and added that this move will positively reflect on Tron’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Industry observers consider the reduction in transaction fees an important step towards increasing the overall usage and adoption of the Tron network.
According to CoinMarketCap data, the price of Tron’s mainnet asset TRX has risen by 0.20% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.156. The data shows that TRX has fallen by 5.94% in the last 7 days.
