MetaMask, makers of the eponymous self-custodial wallet, has entered into a strategic partnership with TRON DAO to enable users to onboard and “interact directly with the TRON ecosystem,” the projects announced on Tuesday.
The move makes a fair degree of sense, given that MetaMask is the largest self-custodial wallet while Tron is one of the most active blockchain ecosystems, particularly as a rail for stablecoin payments.
It’s also the latest in a slate of integrations for MetaMask — including Solana and Sei — as the wallet begins to move beyond Ethereum. Earlier this year, the MetaMask team signaled it would add Bitcoin support in the third quarter of 2025.
MetaMask Director of Business Development Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi noted that broadening support for multiple EVM and non-EVM chains not only makes MetaMask more “versatile” but a true “gateway to web3,” in a statement. It also provides a safe and familiar UI for users looking to explore different blockchain environments and applications.
Incubated by Ethereum development company Consensys since 2016, MetaMask now claims to support over 100 million annual active users.
“MetaMask’s extensive user base and established reputation make it a vital gateway to decentralized applications,” TRON DAO spokesperson Sam Elfarra said. “Integrating TRON into this platform not only broadens access for users worldwide but also reinforces TRON’s position as a foundational infrastructure layer for global digital finance.”
The MetaMask team particularly noted Tron’s global adoption in regions including Asia, South America, Africa, and Europe, where it acts as the number-one blockchain for USDT transactions.
In addition to the litany of Ethereum Layer 2s MetaMask has already integrated, the wallet has also previously enabled users to connect to non-EVM networks via plugins called Snaps. Founded by Justin Sun in 2017, Tron is a high-throughput Layer 1 that uses the TRX gas token and a bespoke Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus model designed to be somewhat compatible with Ethereum.
In May, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay told The Block the wallet maker is once again considering the possibility of launching a native token, an idea Consensys has long floated. A Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into Consensys was terminated in February.
