CoolWallet, a leading hardware wallet provider, has integrated TRON's energy rental service, enabling users to significantly lower transaction fees while maintaining full self-custody of their assets. The feature, announced on February 4, 2026, allows holders of TRX and TRC-20 tokens to rent Energy on the TRON network directly through the CoolWallet hardware device and its paired mobile app.
The integration addresses a core aspect of TRON's resource model, where transactions typically consume Energy and require burning TRX for network fees. The new energy rental mechanism reduces the amount of TRX burned per transaction, helping users retain more of their holdings. Furthermore, it introduces flexible payment options, allowing users to cover Energy costs using either TRX or USDT on the TRON network, providing better cost control for frequent transfers and DeFi activities.
"TRON plays a critical role in the global stablecoin ecosystem, particularly for users who prioritize cost efficiency and transaction speed," said Michael Ou, CEO of CoolBitX (CoolWallet's parent company). "This integration reflects our commitment to supporting the blockchain networks our users depend on most, while ensuring they retain full security and control over their assets."
Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for the TRON DAO, highlighted the partnership's goal of broadening access. "CoolWallet’s integration represents an important step in making TRON’s infrastructure more accessible to users who prioritize security and self-custody," Elfarra stated. The collaboration aims to expand retail access to TRON's blockchain infrastructure and DeFi applications through one of the market's most portable hardware wallets.
The announcement comes as TRX trades around $0.28, consolidating after recent market weakness. Despite subdued short-term price momentum, the development is seen as a positive step for TRON's ecosystem growth, enhancing its appeal to users focused on portability, security, and low-cost transactions.
