Tron DAO has announced a strategic partnership with Consensys to natively integrate the Tron blockchain into the MetaMask wallet, marking it as the third major non-Ethereum chain to receive support since MetaMask's launch in 2016. The integration, revealed on August 19, 2025, will allow MetaMask's extensive user base to directly interact with the Tron ecosystem, including managing TRX and other TRON-based assets seamlessly.
Tron DAO community spokesperson Sam Elfarra emphasized that MetaMask's extensive user base and established reputation make it a vital gateway to decentralized applications. Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, MetaMask's Director of Business Development, highlighted Tron's strong presence in Asia and noted the integration helps build bridges across regions and ecosystems.
This move follows MetaMask's recent additions of Solana (May 2025) and support for BNB Smart Chain and Sei, with most other integrations being Ethereum layer-2 networks. Tron, a top-10 blockchain by market cap, has seen significant growth, hosting over $82 billion in USDT stablecoin and recording 324 million user accounts as of August 2025.
The partnership includes joint marketing efforts to boost global awareness and adoption. It aligns with Tron's recent momentum, including a 166% surge in TRX price post-November 2024 US election and ambitions to go public via a reverse merger in the US, advised by founder Justin Sun.
