The New Era of Onchain Liquidity - Official Introduction of TRX Token on Base Chain! Last night Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) from Tron and Jesse Pollak (@jessepollak) from Base participated in, and Yuhu from Kaito (@Punk9277) moderated, a high-level event akin to a meeting between Jensen Huang, Jay Y. Lee, and Chung Yoo-keun. This was a space where discussions took place about the collaboration between Tron and Base, and the direction in which onchain liquidity is heading. -------- What's Changed with TRX's Entry into Base? Tron is already one of the few blockchains that have created real-world usage in global payments and stablecoins. Tron has been widely used for converting local currencies into dollar stablecoins, as well as for P2P payments and remittances. On the other hand, Base is an L2 that has grown more around apps and user experience than the chain itself. The integration of TRX into Base connects these two distinct layers. This move goes beyond simply "being able to use TRX on another chain"—it signals that liquidity generated on Tron is beginning to move into Base's app-centric environment. -------- Tron: From Payment Infrastructure to Onchain Finance Justin Sun consistently emphasized Tron's direction. First, stablecoins remain the central axis. The scale of stablecoins on the Tron network has already exceeded $8 billion, creating network value through transaction volume and turnover rather than price volatility. Second, Perp DEX. Decentralized perpetual futures trading (Perp DEX) was clearly identified as the next expansion area for stablecoins. There is a clear understanding that onchain derivatives infrastructure with UX comparable to centralized exchanges will be the next growth driver. Third, prediction markets and AI payments. Prediction markets are already a proven area of demand, and Tron clearly stated that payment and settlement standards that AI agents can easily use are also part of its long-term vision. In summary, Tron is no longer content to remain just a "payment chain"—it is aiming to become the foundational layer of onchain financial infrastructure. -------- Base: Everything Economy Jesse Pollak described Base's vision in one phrase: "Everything Economy." Base aims to bring three types of assets onchain. First, offchain assets. Traditional financial assets such as tokenized stocks and RWA will be officially brought onchain. Second, assets from other chains. Base is trying to naturally connect external ecosystem assets like TRX and Solana through Base Apps. Third, new onchain assets. This includes mini-app tokens, creator tokens, and local currency stablecoins. All of these assets are designed to be connected within the single user experience of Base App, linking social, trading, and payments. -------- This Tron × Base Collaboration Is not about "which chain is superior." The important question is this: Where is liquidity being created, and where does its value begin to be consumed? The integration of TRX into Base can be interpreted as a clear signal that onchain economics is shifting from chain-centric to app-centric.
