TRON has announced a 60% reduction in network fees, effective August 29, 2025, at 20:00 (GMT+8), following approval by the TRON Super Representative Community. Founder Justin Sun declared this the largest fee cut in the network's history, aimed at increasing user engagement, transaction volumes, and long-term competitiveness, despite short-term profitability concerns.
The decision led to an immediate 3.6% price drop for TRX, as markets reacted to potential revenue impacts. TRON's monthly revenue, previously around $47.7 million to $58 million, could face a $28 million reduction, but Sun emphasized that higher transaction counts might offset this over time.
Quarterly reviews are planned to adjust fees based on TRX price, network activity, and growth trends. Current adoption metrics show strong performance, with 8-9 million daily transactions and over 2.4 million active addresses, suggesting potential for increased activity post-reduction.
Justin Sun stated, "For users, this fee reduction is a real benefit. Cutting fees by 60% is bold and rare for any network." The move aligns with TRON's strategic goals to enhance its market presence and draw more developers and users.
