TRON DAO has announced the launch of a TRX/USDC trading pair on Aerodrome, the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Base network. This integration, powered by LayerZero's cross-chain infrastructure, brings TRON's native utility token, TRX, directly into Base's rapidly expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
The collaboration connects TRON's established blockchain, which boasts over 369 million user accounts and more than 13 billion total transactions, with one of the fastest-growing DeFi environments. The TRX/USDC pair is now live on Aerodrome, which processes more than 50% of Base's total DEX trading volume, and is eligible for emissions. The integration is designed to unlock new opportunities for traders and liquidity providers by enabling seamless asset movement between the two networks, reducing the fragmentation that often limits cross-chain activity.
"Aerodrome stands out as a key liquidity hub, and we're excited to see TRON become part of its growing ecosystem," said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for the TRON DAO. "This collaboration expands TRON's reach and reinforces our shared vision for a more interconnected and efficient DeFi landscape."
Alex Cutler, Contributor at Aerodrome, added, "We are thrilled to welcome TRX trading and liquidity to Aerodrome and the Base ecosystem. With the TRX/USDC pair now live and eligible for emissions, we're creating a powerful liquidity bridge between two leading blockchain ecosystems."
The move enhances accessibility for TRON users while strengthening Aerodrome's position as a cross-chain liquidity hub. It follows TRON's significant role as a settlement layer for stablecoins, having recently hosted the largest circulating supply of USDT, exceeding $85 billion.
