Tron founder Justin Sun’s announcement states that Tether will let its USDT coins move without trade fees on the Tron platform. Users can now send USDT transactions with no fees using the new “Gas Free” feature through TRX without needing to pay TRX as gas fees.
Sun declared that USDT users can expect the new feature to become available during the following seven days. He requested partnerships from teams and wallet suppliers to implement the new JustLend front end on TRX’s official lending platform.
Tron's Gas Free feature supporting USDT gas payments without the need for TRX will launch within the next week. Teams and wallets wishing to support this feature, please contact [email protected]. Keep Building!

Tron’s Shift from Low-Cost to High-Priced Transactions
TRX earned fame by offering cheap transactions for USDT transfers. The network has evolved from a lower-cost platform to a high-price leader for running stablecoin transactions since recent months. TRC-20 USDT payments on TRX network today cost between $3.20 and $6.50 while ERC-20 USDT fees on Ethereum stay at $0.40 per transaction.
The surge in transaction expenses has made TRX users angry because this platform once served as their cost-saving solution. In December 2024 the crypto community expressed criticism when TRC-20 USDT network costs increased to over $9 per transaction. USDT on TRX lost its position as lowest-cost option because it moved behind competing systems according to Platform X user.
USDT on Tron used to be the cheapest option, but they fell behind a lot.

Why Tron’s Gas Fee System Makes Transactions Expensive
TRX deals experience high costs because its gas fee system works in a challenging manner. The energy and bandwidth requirements behind TRC-20 USDT transfers differ from Ethereum gas usage so common users pay more when they don’t have enough energy and bandwidth to cover these transfers.
Since July 2024 the TRX Foundation began developing a fee-less payment system. Sun informed his audience that he would make this feature available in the last three months of 2024 but development challenges made the schedule impossible to meet. Sun stays positive about his innovation despite the obstacles.
According to Sun the latest service will enable larger businesses to bring stablecoin capabilities on the blockchain and advance blockchain use even further.
We anticipate launching this service in Q4 of this year. I believe that similar services will greatly facilitate large companies in deploying stablecoin services on the blockchain, elevating blockchain mass adoption to a new level.
