"BUIDL 2025" Sun Yuchen shared: Tron TRON GasFree new function lowers the threshold and safety is the bottom line of development

On April 5, Tron TRON founder Justin Sun appeared at the "BUIDL 2025" crypto conference held in Hong Kong. He held a roundtable talk with Tomo Wallet founder Ryan Fang, TVM Ventures founder Steve Yun, Morph's chief growth officer Colin Goltra, and Morph's chief growth officer, on the "evolution path of encryption infrastructure", and in-depth discussions on the development history of encryption infrastructure, faced bottlenecks and innovative technologies, providing valuable insights and ideas for the development of the industry.

Stablecoin growth potential is huge, Tron TRON

ecosystem has performed outstandingly

When talking about the development history and current situation of crypto infrastructure, Justin Sun pointed out that although the prices of crypto assets such as Bitcoin fluctuated, stablecoins showed a steady growth trend and have become an important pillar of industry development. At present, the scale of stablecoins on the Tron TRON blockchain has exceeded US$60 billion, and has increased by about US$5 billion in the past month, and this growth trend is still continuing.

Taking Tron TRON as an example, the on-chain daily trading volume of stablecoins on it is also continuing to rise, and is now between 20 billion and 30 billion US dollars. USDT performance on Tron TRON is particularly stable and continues to hit record highs. Justin Sun believes that this is due to the efficiency and stability of the TRON network, as well as the wide recognition and application of USDT worldwide. In the first quarter, Tron TRON launched the upgraded decentralized stablecoin USDD, which further enriched Tron TRON's stablecoin ecosystem. USDD became increasingly popular after its listing on Kraken last week, with a market value of $300 million.

Justin Sun believes that USDD will continue to grow with its decentralized and trustworthy characteristics. Decentralization means that no single entity can control the issuance and management of USDD, and users have complete control over their assets, which meets people's needs for asset security and autonomous control. He predicts that the market value of USDT on Tron TRON may reach about US$100 billion this year, and USDD is expected to reach US$1 billion. This prediction not only reflects Justin Sun's confidence in the Tron TRON ecosystem, but also reflects the important position and huge potential of stablecoins in the cryptocurrency field.

****Popularize blockchain awareness and promote the popularization of

cryptocurrencies****

When asked about the bottlenecks facing the industry, Justin Sun took his own experience as an example to tell the story of giving a friend a bitcoin in 2013, and his friend didn't remember and cashed in until 2025. This experience vividly reflects the public's lack of awareness of cryptocurrencies. During that period, the price of cryptocurrencies was extremely low and the value of a bitcoin was insignificant. Friends did not pay enough attention to it after receiving it and left it in the corner. By 2025, the price of Bitcoin has risen sharply, and friends realized the value of this Bitcoin.

This incident made Justin Sun deeply realize that one of the important tasks of the current industry is to popularize blockchain services and cryptocurrency knowledge to the public. He noted that many people still regard fiat currency as “real money” while ignoring the actual value of cryptocurrencies. In the traditional public concept, fiat currency is endorsed by the government and has compulsory liquidity and stability, while cryptocurrencies are regarded as high-risk, unstable investment products. However, with the development of cryptocurrencies and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, their value as a new type of currency form has gradually become prominent.

Justin Sun believes that it is necessary to change people's traditional concepts about money and money, so that more people can realize that cryptocurrencies are also a kind of "real money." Cryptocurrencies have the characteristics of decentralization, anonymity, and global circulation, which can provide people with more convenient, efficient and secure payment and storage methods. For example, in some cross-border payment scenarios, cryptocurrencies can bypass the tedious procedures and high fees of traditional financial institutions to achieve rapid and low-cost capital transfer. By popularizing blockchain knowledge and the advantages of cryptocurrencies, the popularization and application of cryptocurrencies among the public can be promoted and the healthy development of the cryptocurrency market.

Gasfree new function: lowers the threshold for use and helps institutions access

In response to technical issues, Justin Sun introduced the new Gasfree feature launched by Tron TRON. This function has been developed for half a year and was officially released two weeks ago, with a good user experience. In cryptocurrency transactions, Gas fees are the handling fees that users need to pay when conducting transactions, which are used to incentivize miners to process and verify transactions. However, for ordinary users and institutions, there are certain problems with the payment and management of Gas fees.

Through the new Gasfree function, no matter how many addresses the user has, he can generate a mirror address to receive the USDT key. The handling fee can be directly deducted from the USDT without worrying about operational errors. This function greatly simplifies the transaction process and lowers the threshold for use. For ordinary users, there is no need to worry about the calculation and payment of Gas fees, just focus on the transaction itself. For institutions, the Gasfree feature provides a convenient solution for them to receive stablecoins.

Many institutions want to integrate blockchain technology to enable more efficient fund management and payment settlement, but are reluctant to access cryptocurrencies. Because the price of cryptocurrencies fluctuates greatly, institutions are worried about facing asset risks. At the same time, even paying Gas fees in cryptocurrency increases additional operating costs and complexity for some institutions. The Gasfree function meets the needs of institutions. Institutions can receive and send funds by simply using the address, without directly contacting cryptocurrencies, which greatly reduces the threshold for use, helps to promote more institutions to access the Tron TRON ecosystem and promotes the application of blockchain technology in a wider range of fields.

Building a better ecosystem, emphasizing that safety is crucial

Justin Sun emphasized that the ecosystem built by Tron TRON has obvious advantages compared to traditional finance. The dekyc feature of Tron TRON allows users to participate in cryptocurrency transactions more freely and protects users ' privacy.

On Tron TRON, users have complete control over their assets, and there is no risk of accounts being frozen, ensuring the safety of users' assets.

In addition, Tron TRON has launched the non-freeze-stable stablecoin USDD, providing users with a safer and more convenient way to store wealth. The decentralized nature of USDD allows no single entity to freeze or control the user's assets, and users can safely store wealth in USDD. However, Justin Sun also reminded that since users have 100% control and the autonomy of smart contracts, security issues cannot be ignored.

Events such as Bybit's losses of US$1.5 billion due to signing multiple smart contracts have sounded the alarm for the industry. Multiple signing of smart contracts requires multiple signatures to complete the transaction, which should have improved security, but due to contract vulnerabilities or improper operation, it can still lead to huge losses. Therefore, while enjoying the convenience brought by blockchain technology, we must attach great importance to security and prevent problems such as hacker attacks and private key loss. Once the private key is lost or stolen, the user will lose control of the assets, causing irreparable losses.

In addition, Justin Sun also mentioned that the company has enabled advanced security tools to force use on every device and software within the company to deal with the risk of forgery brought about by AI development. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, it has become easier to fake images, videos, etc., which also poses a potential threat to the security of financial accounts. For example, someone might use fake AI videos to reset someone’s exchange account, thereby stealing funds. Enabling these technologies can enhance the security of devices and software and effectively prevent such risks, further emphasizing the importance of security in the Web2 and Web3 fields.

During this roundtable meeting, Justin Sun shared his profound insights and innovative practices on the development of crypto infrastructure, providing useful ideas and directions for the development of the industry, and also showing Tron TRON's active efforts in promoting the popularization of cryptocurrency and infrastructure construction. We believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, the cryptocurrency industry will usher in a better future.

It is reported that "BUIDL 2025" was held by Foresight News, in conjunction with The Block and Foresight Ventures at the JW Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong.
