Justin Sun, the creator of Tron Network, has revealed plans to launch gas-free stablecoin transfers, sparking a wave of reactions from users. While many have praised the proposed feature, some have raised concerns about the delayed implementation of this upgrade.
Anticipated Start of Gas-Free Stablecoin Transfers by Q4 2024 – Justin Sun
Justin Sun shared on a recent X post that the Tron team is working on a new enhancement that will enable users to send and receive stablecoins without the need to pay gas fees. Gas fees are charges incurred with each blockchain transaction, typically paid in the network’s native token such as TRX for stablecoin transfers on Tron.
The new solution will allow users to carry out stablecoin transactions without requiring TRX or other native assets, with the transfer costs fully covered by stablecoins. Initially implemented on the Tron blockchain, the upgrade will later extend to Ethereum and other EVM-compatible public networks.
While transaction charges remain, the introduction of this feature is expected to lower gas fees for users dealing solely in stablecoins. Commending this move, Mark Lamb expressed appreciation for the innovation and its potential impact on global accessibility and banking. However, some users criticized Tron for being late to the game as other blockchains like Celo and Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) already offer similar features.
Justin Sun aims to launch the gas-free stablecoin transfers in the fourth quarter of 2024, believing it will encourage major companies to adopt stablecoins, thereby boosting cryptocurrency adoption significantly.

Tron has shown resilience amidst market uncertainties and significant selling pressure, demonstrating its attractiveness and usability to a growing number of users.
