Overview

  • The reduction, under TIP #789, lowers the energy unit price from 210 to 100 sun and took effect on August 29 at 20:00 GMT+8.
  • Justin Sun said the change intentionally reduces short‑term profitability to drive broader adoption and higher transaction volumes.
  • TRX fell roughly 3–5% with trading picking up, and CoinGlass reported more than $64 million in short positions following the announcement.
  • On‑chain data show Tron remains a leading stablecoin rail with about $82 billion in USDT and millions of daily transactions.
  • Analysts citing DeFiLlama’s roughly $47.7 million in monthly fees before the change expect a significant revenue hit, with policy to be recalibrated in planned quarterly reviews.
