Tron’s Fee-cut Proposal Gains Approval Momentum

A new Tron Improvement Proposal to cut network fees is gaining momentum as the Friday vote nears.

The proposal suggests halving the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun, lowering transaction costs.

Supporters say this could expand accessibility by 45% and boost adoption for stablecoin transfers and smart contracts.

Previous fee cuts in 2024 drove growth, and advocates expect similar results. However, critics warn the change could shift the network from a net burn of TRX to inflation unless activity offsets reduced costs.
