Tron Fee Cut Marks Boldest 60% Reduction in Network Charges

Tron Fee Cut Nears Approval as Community Backs 60% Reduction

Boldest Tron fee cut in History

The Super Representative community has officially approved a major proposal to slash network fees by 60%. This marks the largest reduction since coin's launch in 2017 and will take effect at 20:00 (GMT+8) this Friday. 

The move aims to boost accessibility and attract more users, even if it temporarily impacts Tron fee cut short-term revenue. The founder Justin Sun called the decision a bold step that directly benefits users in his X post. He admitted that while profitability will dip in the short term due to reduced charges, the long-term outlook is strong.

Justin believes more users and higher transaction volumes will ultimately balance the impact and make its Tron fee cut ecosystem more sustainable.

Firstly the proposal was submitted on GitHub under "Decrease the transaction fees" Issue- #789 of Tron fee cut, suggested lowering the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun.

With one TRX equal to 1,000,000 sun, this change makes transactions far cheaper. Estimates suggest it could make it nearly 45% more affordable for high-volume users, especially for stablecoin transfers, which dominate network's activity.

Strong Backing from Super Representatives

So far, 17 out of 27 elected Super Representatives have voted in favor of the cut, including notable supporters like Chain Cloud, Nansen, HTX.com, and P2P.org.

Only one more “yes” vote is required for the full approval but the early momentum indicates that the proposal already has overwhelming support from key players within the community. 

Risks and Rewards of Lower charges

Experts caution that while reduced charges improve accessibility they may lead to TRX inflation if network activity doesn’t rise enough to offset the lost burn rate. However, past trends are encouraging. 

A similar 50% reduction in charges in 2024 led to a spike in new smart contract deployments that showed cheaper fees can fuel network expansion.

At the time of writing, TRX is trading at $0.3406 with a down of 2.49%, recorded in 24 hours. The asset market is showing continuous dips of 4.63% from August 25 till now.

TRX price prediction looks cautious as RSI at 42.7 signals more downside room. 

If TRX sustains above $0.37 with strong volume, a rally toward $0.42 is likely. 

However, holding the 20-day SMA at $0.34 amid rising BTC dominance (57.55%) will be key for short-term momentum.

Conclusion

Tron fee cut 60% is a turning point for the asset. While short-term profitability might shrink, the move is designed to create long-term growth by making the network more attractive for developers, users and stablecoin transfers. If history repeats, Tron could see another wave of adoption and strengthen its position as a leading blockchain in the global market.
