Request Network Eliminates the Gas Barrier for USDT on TRON
Users can now transfer USDT on the world’s largest stablecoin network without ever holding or buying TRX.
Zug, Switzerland, 30/07/2026. Request Network, a leading open-source protocol for decentralized financial flows, today announced the launch of Gasless USDT Payments on TRON. Through the Request Network protocol, users can now pay with USDT on TRON without holding TRX in their wallet.
TRON is one of the most widely used networks for USDT transactions. Until now, anyone wanting to send USDT on TRON first needed to acquire TRX to cover the network fee. This meant buying TRX on an exchange, transferring it to their wallet, and only then completing the payment.
For many users, this additional step created unnecessary friction and often resulted in abandoned transactions.
With Request Network, that extra step disappears.
When a user pays with USDT on TRON through the Request Network protocol, Request Network automatically covers the required TRON network fee on the payer’s behalf. The gas cost is included in Request Network’s transaction fee, allowing users to complete payments without ever needing to own TRX.
This makes paying with USDT on TRON significantly simpler for businesses and individuals who only hold USDT.
Gasless USDT payments on TRON are available today for all payments made through the Request Network protocol. Transaction fees for USDT payments on TRON are fixed at $3.99. The protocol fee is 0.9% on every chain. On Tron the payer also pays a flat $3.99 per transaction, which covers the Tron network cost. You never need to hold gas.
Tristan Wallaert, CEO of the Request Network Foundation, said:
“More than a quarter of the world’s stablecoins live on Tron, but gas still gets in the way of every payment. By subsidizing it, we remove the last thing standing between these economies and the truly frictionless money that the blockchain offers.”
