Justin Sun Backs 60% Tron Fee Cut, Largest in Network History

Tron has announced its most significant fee cut since inception, slashing network fees by 60%. The proposal, supported by Tron’s super representative community, passed earlier this week and is set to take effect on August 29. Founder Justin Sun confirmed the development, calling it a bold move that sets Tron apart from most blockchain networks. Sun described the fee reduction as a “tangible benefit for users,” noting that very few networks have the willingness to make such sweeping changes. The move will impact short-term revenue. He emphasized that greater adoption and transaction growth could strengthen Tron’s profitability in the long run.

Balancing Profitability and Growth

Justin Sun said the move reflects a long-term vision to keep Tron competitive. Lower fees are expected to make the network more accessible for developers and everyday users. The community will track the results through quarterly reviews. Looking at factors like TRX price, network demand, and overall growth. The goal is to strike a balance between long-term sustainability and Tron commitment to accessibility. By prioritizing user adoption, Tron is betting that increased activity will offset reduced transaction revenues. If successful, the cut could solidify Tron’s position as one of the most cost-effective blockchains in the market.

Energy and Bandwidth Over Gas Fees

Tron has already distinguished itself with a resource model that replaces traditional gas fees. Instead of paying per transaction, users can stake TRX to access “Energy” and “Bandwidth.” Energy powers smart contract execution and complex decentralized applications, while Bandwidth covers simple operations such as token transfers or microtransactions. This model allows developers and organizations to operate at predictable costs while giving users the ability to transact freely once they have staked tokens. For individuals, the change translates into cheaper remittances and everyday payments. For businesses, it provides a scalable solution to manage large transaction volumes without constant costs.

Strengthening Global Adoption

With over 300 million users, Tron has established itself as a leader in scalable and affordable blockchain services. The newly approved 60% fee cut could expand its global reach. Especially in regions where high transaction costs still limit adoption. Justin Sun called the move both a challenge and an opportunity. By prioritizing accessibility over short-term revenue. Tron is signaling strong confidence in its long-term growth strategy. For everyday users, it marks a clear step toward making blockchain activity. That is more affordable, predictable, and inclusive.
