GasFree Operation Guide | Lowering Participation Threshold, TRON Achieves Direct Payment of Gas Fees with Stablecoins

In the cryptocurrency field, a smooth trading experience is the cornerstone of ecological prosperity. However, Gas fees (miner fees) have always been an invisible wall standing in front of users. In traditional blockchain networks, users must hold and consume native tokens (such as TRX from TRON) to pay transaction fees, which not only increases operational complexity but may also lead to transaction failures due to insufficient Gas fees or price fluctuations. This mechanism is akin to a "deterrent threshold," especially for newcomers. When the network is congested, the uncertainty of transaction fee costs makes it even more difficult for high-frequency traders. Can on-chain transfers be as simple as sending an email, without worrying about Gas fees?

The TRON ecosystem provides an answer. The GasFree service officially launched by JustLend DAO redefines transaction rules through four innovative breakthroughs:

1. No need for TRX, stablecoins directly pay fees: Users do not need to hold TRX; transaction fees can be paid directly with USDT, and smart contracts automatically complete the settlement, completely eliminating the hassle of managing multiple currencies.

2. Protocol subsidies reduce costs: The official provides fee subsidies, with the cost of a single transaction as low as 1 USDT, significantly lowering the participation threshold for high-frequency payment scenarios.

3. Cost transparency and control: GasFree supports TRC20-USDT transfers and fee payments, allowing users to intuitively estimate costs and reduce the impact of price fluctuations.

The launch of GasFree is not only a technical iteration but also lays the foundation for large-scale applications of TRON in cross-border payments and inclusive finance through the flywheel effect of "stablecoin circulation - low-threshold access - ecological prosperity." From the user perspective, reduced operational costs and optimized experiences make it infinitely closer to traditional payment tools, attracting a massive influx of new users. On the protocol side, JustLend DAO captures stablecoin liquidity to replenish the subsidy fund pool, forming a self-circulating economic model. On the ecological side, TRON occupies more than half of the total USDT circulation on the network with TRC20-USDT, further consolidating its global position as the "stablecoin highway."

Now, the TronLink wallet has taken the lead in implementing the GasFree feature, allowing users to enjoy frictionless transactions by completing three activation steps. The following will delve into its technical principles and operational pathways, unveiling the full picture of this on-chain efficiency revolution.

1. Create a Wallet

• Download TronLink

Users who want to create a GasFree account need to visit the official website of the TronLink wallet or download the official app from the app store. To ensure wallet compatibility and security, users need to download and install TronLink App v4.15.0 or TronLink extension v4.2.0 or above.

• Create a GasFree Wallet

Method 1: Click "Explore GasFree" on the TronLink universal wallet homepage to create directly.

Method 2: Check "Create GasFree wallet simultaneously" or "Import GasFree wallet simultaneously" when creating or importing a universal wallet.

• Backup Mnemonic Phrase

Save the generated mnemonic phrase, as it is the only proof for recovering the universal wallet and GasFree wallet.

2. Activate Wallet

• First Transfer Triggers Activation

After completing the first GasFree authorized transfer, users can successfully activate the GasFree wallet. Enter the GasFree wallet and click "Send"; the system will check whether the GasFree wallet is activated. If the wallet is not activated, a message will prompt that "Due to the GasFree wallet not being activated, activation fees and transfer service fees will be charged."

• Pay Activation Fee

Pay the activation fee and the current transfer service fee. Once the transaction record is on-chain, the wallet will be activated.

3. Transfer Guide

When performing GasFree authorized transfers, users do not need to go through multiple signature confirmations; they only need to confirm the signature corresponding to the ordinary wallet. This design not only simplifies the transfer process but also improves transfer efficiency. However, users must ensure the security of the wallet and proceed with each step cautiously.

• Initiate Transfer

Enter the recipient address in the GasFree wallet → Select token → Enter amount.

• Fee Confirmation

Activated wallet: Only shows transfer service fee.

Non-activated wallet: Adds activation fee + transfer fee.

• Submit Transaction

Click "Submit," and the GasFree service provider will process the on-chain record, changing the status to "Processing" → "Completed."

Tip: Currently, the GasFree feature only supports TRC20-USDT transfers. However, if you accidentally send unsupported tokens to the GasFree wallet, there is no need to worry. In this case, the page will display a relevant prompt: "X tokens are not supported for transfer," and unsupported tokens can be returned to the universal wallet.

4. View GasFree Transaction Records

On the homepage of the GasFree wallet, find the target token whose transaction records you want to view, click to enter the details page, and you can see all GasFree-related transaction records for that token, including transfer records and contract trigger records.

The birth of the GasFree service is not only a technological innovation but also a milestone in TRON's commitment to the "user-first" philosophy.

Now, connect immediately and experience the efficient operation on-chain:

• Activate now: Open or download the TronLink wallet (https://www.tronlink.org/), enter the "Experience GasFree" page, and complete authorization in 3 steps;

• Try transferring: Currently, GasFree supports TRC20-USDT transfers and fee payments, providing a smooth trading experience;

• Explore the ecosystem: Participate in lending and staking based on JustLend's liquidity pool to improve asset efficiency.

In the future, as GasFree expands to cross-chain settlement and enterprise-level applications, it will break through the last technical barrier to the popularization of decentralized assets, further pushing TRON to the high ground of stablecoin settlement and inclusive finance.
