MetaMask has added native support for the Tron network following an update, expanding the wallet's multi-chain functionality for users.

Key features

Users can manage TRC-20 tokens, stake TRX, and initiate cross-chain transactions through MetaMask's interface without switching wallets.

• After updating the app or browser extension, a Tron address is added automatically to the user's account list and network selector.
• The wallet provides on-chain operations for TRC-20 token transfers and standard token approvals via the MetaMask UI.
• Native staking options for TRX are integrated, enabling users to lock tokens and manage staking positions from the same interface.
• Cross-chain transaction workflows have been enabled to facilitate asset movement between supported networks without requiring third-party bridges.

Availability and setup

The Tron integration is available for both desktop extension and mobile applications after installing the latest release and completing the update process.

Existing accounts will see the new Tron entry automatically, while new users can add a Tron-enabled account during wallet setup.

Compatibility and security

MetaMask's Tron support is intended to work with decentralized applications that recognise the Tron RPC and with compatible hardware wallets for transaction signing.

Users are advised to verify network settings and exercise standard security practices when interacting with new tokens and decentralized applications.
