Tron DAO Integrates TRX with Base via LayerZero — TRX Now Tradable on Base DEXs
Tron DAO has integrated TRX with Base (Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2) using the LayerZero cross‑chain messaging protocol, allowing TRX to be bridged to Base as a wrapped token. The bridge enables TRX holders to access Base‑native DEXs, liquidity pools and trading pairs (for example Aerodrome), benefiting from Base’s low fees and fast transactions. Users bridge by connecting a Web3 wallet, selecting TRX on Tron as the source and Base as the destination, and paying Tron gas plus bridging fees; once on Base the wrapped TRX requires ETH for transaction gas on that network. The integration increases TRX cross‑chain accessibility and aims to boost liquidity and interoperability by connecting Tron’s user base and liquidity to Base’s low‑cost, high‑throughput environment. Traders should note smart‑contract and bridge counterparty risks, wrapped‑token custody models, and the need to verify official bridge interfaces before using the bridge. Expected practical effects include easier access to Base liquidity, potential upticks in TRX trading volume on Base DEXs, and improved on‑chain UX for traders and DeFi developers integrating TRX into multi‑chain strategies.
Bullish
Integration of TRX onto Base via LayerZero meaningfully expands TRX’s accessible liquidity venues and lowers trading friction by enabling use of Base’s low‑fee, high‑throughput DEXs. In the short term, the news can increase trading volume and demand for TRX on Base as traders and liquidity providers migrate or test pools, producing a positive price impulse. It also improves on‑chain utility (more trading pairs, AMM access), which tends to support greater token velocity and demand. In the medium to long term, the move strengthens TRX’s multi‑chain interoperability and developer appeal; if liquidity and usage on Base grow, that can underpin sustained positive pressure on TRX. Offsetting risks include bridge and wrapped‑token custody concerns — any exploit or user loss could cause sharp negative moves — but the announcement itself mainly reduces frictions and so is likely bullish for TRX overall.
