Tron Approves 60% Fee Cut, Implementation Set for 20:00 GMT+8

Justin Sun calls it a short-term revenue tradeoff to spur adoption.

Overview

  • Tron’s Super Representative community finalized the largest fee reduction in the network’s history, with the change scheduled to take effect today at 20:00 (GMT+8).
  • The adjustment comes via TIP #789, which lowers the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun to directly reduce transaction costs.
  • Sun said lower fees should attract more users and transactions, with profitability expected to recover over time as on-chain activity grows.
  • Quarterly reviews by Super Representatives will reassess fees based on TRX price, demand, and growth metrics to keep costs competitive.
  • TRX traded near $0.3385 after a weekly decline of about 5%, with technical support cited around $0.3289, while CoinGecko and reporting place Tron’s TVL above $6 billion and stablecoin supply up roughly 40% this year.
