CoolWallet Partners with TRON to Slash Transaction Fees Through Energy Rental Integration
In a move poised to lower the cost of interacting with one of the world's most active blockchains, CoolWallet has integrated TRON's energy rental service directly into its hardware wallet ecosystem. The partnership allows users to execute transactions on the TRON network while burning less TRX in fees, a development that could boost retail participation in TRON-based DeFi and stablecoin transfers.
The integration, announced Wednesday, embeds the energy rental mechanism within CoolWallet's mobile app interface. Under TRON's resource model, network transactions consume "Energy," which typically requires users to stake or burn TRX. CoolWallet's new feature provides an alternative, letting users rent the necessary Energy, thereby preserving more of their TRX holdings. Users can pay for this rented Energy using either TRX or USDT on the TRON network.
"TRON is a cornerstone for affordable, high-speed stablecoin transactions globally," said Michael Ou, CEO of CoolBitX, CoolWallet's parent company. "This integration is about meeting our users where they are—supporting the networks they use daily without compromising on the security and self-custody principles our wallets are built upon."
The collaboration highlights a growing trend of wallet providers optimizing for specific blockchain economies. TRON consistently ranks among the top networks for stablecoin volume and low-cost payments, making it a natural focus for cost-saving enhancements. Sam Elfarra, a TRON DAO community spokesperson, noted the partnership "expands access to TRON's infrastructure through a highly portable and secure hardware solution, reducing another barrier to entry."
Analysts suggest the update could make frequent transactions and DeFi interactions more economically viable for everyday users, potentially increasing network activity. By coupling TRON's scalable infrastructure with CoolWallet's offline security, the partnership targets users who refuse to choose between cost-efficiency and asset sovereignty.
User Reactions
Maya Rodriguez, Crypto Educator: "This is a smart, user-centric upgrade. Lowering transaction costs is one of the most tangible ways to improve the daily experience for holders. It shows hardware wallets are evolving beyond pure storage to become active hubs for managing blockchain resources."
David Chen, DeFi Enthusiast: "As someone who uses TRON for weekly stablecoin transfers, any fee reduction is welcome. The flexibility to pay with USDT is a nice touch. It feels like the wallet is finally catching up to the nuanced needs of power users on specific chains."
Alex "Cypher" Reed, Security Analyst: "Let's not get carried away. This is a convenience feature, not a revolution. The real story remains whether mass users will adopt hardware wallets at all. Lower fees are good, but they don't solve self-custody's complexity problem. Most people still prefer the 'risk' of an exchange for the simplicity."
Priya Sharma, Retail Investor: "Finally! I've held off on moving my TRX more often because the fees ate into smaller amounts. If this works as promised, it might actually get me to try a DeFi protocol on TRON. This feels like a direct answer to a real pain point."
