According to the official details, this integration will allow Tron’s native token, TRX, to bridge with Base. This allows users with Base Application access to TRX tokens on decentralized exchanges on Base, such as Aerodrome.

“The integration between TRON and Base is a meaningful step toward making blockchain networks operate more seamlessly together,” Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, stated in the official statement. “Bringing TRON and Base together is an important milestone in expanding how blockchain networks connect and scale. Each ecosystem will complement the other by improving interoperability, broadening access for developers and users, and supporting secure on-chain activity across networks. It reflects our shared focus on building solutions that address the needs of real users.”

With the new bridging capabilities, the Tron ecosystem is improving its cross-chain interoperability.

In order to stretch boundaries, Tron has announced its partnership with Kalshi, a leading prediction market. This will allow Kalshi users to deposit and withdraw using TRX, TRON’s native token, as well as USDT on the TRON blockchain network. 

According to the report from Chainlink, cross-chain interoperability is rapidly becoming popular, which allows blockchain projects to diversify liquidity sources and reduce reliance on a single network. 

“By articulating the value interoperability can bring to you and your customers, you can begin to align on an approach to integrating this new infrastructure into your business. Institutions can use platforms such as Chainlink, which offers modular, interoperable infrastructure capable of supporting compliance-focused, multi-network workflows and aligning with long-term strategic goals,” stated in the report.

“Bringing diverse stakeholders from product, technology, and compliance is critical for defining clear objectives, KPIs, and design principles linked to a business case. Measuring the volume and performance of cross-chain adoption can drive real-time insights into how on-chain assets enable product optimization,” the report says.

Endless Legal Trouble for Tron Founder

Since the project’s launch, Tron has been a focal point of controversy. 

In 2025, Justin Sun faced intense scrutiny over his connection to U.S. President Donald Trump. He invested heavily in Trump-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and TRUMP memecoin, which allowed him to attend an exclusive gala dinner as a top holder. 

Some critics allegedly claimed that he made this investment after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped its long-standing fraud lawsuit against him in February. They have raised conflict-of-interest concerns in congressional letters. 

Another controversy happened in September, when WLFI blacklisted Sun’s address and froze his holdings amid dump allegations, which soured the relationship.

Sun was also accused for custodians of fraud in a $456 million reserve shortfall for TrueUSD stablecoin, leading to court freezes and calls for Hong Kong regulatory action.
