GasFree passes 500,000 users
GasFree said on 16 October that its user base has reached 500,871, passing half a million users for TRC-20 transfers that do not require holding TRX, according to Odaily. The announcement, first shared by GasFree and then reported by Odaily, added that the service has supported more than 500,000 transfers since it began operating.
Paying fees without TRX
GasFree is a fee tool on the TRON network that lets people pay transfer fees in USDT instead of keeping TRX, the blockchain's native token, in their wallet. TRC-20 is the technical standard for tokens issued on TRON, and a transfer normally needs a small amount of TRX to cover network gas. GasFree says users can now pay those fees in USDD as well as USDT, and Binance Web3 Wallet supports GasFree-powered TRC-20 transfers, removing the need to manage TRX for gas.
The announcement was also made on X by JUST DAO (@DeFi_JUST), which said on X that GasFree had 500,871 users and more than 500,000 transfers. By 07:55 UTC on 18 October, that post had been liked 55 times, reposted 15 times and viewed 27,658 times.
Who benefits most
The change matters most to retail TRON users who move stablecoins regularly. Instead of buying and holding TRX just to cover gas, they can pay fees in USDT or USDD using the same token they are already sending. @Leon_Defi said on X that not having to keep random native tokens just for gas makes moving stablecoins actually usable for normal people.
What X users said
Other users on X responded with similar points. @vovweb3 said on X that the update was a half million free gas win. @sammivovo said on X another middleman gone. @TM___D2 said on X the milestone reflected growing interest in a simpler transaction experience on the TRON network, especially for stablecoin users.
500,871 users. Half a million transfers made a little simpler.
With GasFree, users can pay transaction fees directly in USDT instead of keeping TRX on hand for gas.
Today, that experience goes beyond USDT and includes USDD, with Binance Web3 Wallet also supporting TRC-20 token transfers powered by GasFree.
Fewer things to manage. More focus on the transfer itself.
JUST DAO @DeFi_JUST · · View on XBinance Web3 Wallet's role
Binance Web3 Wallet's support puts GasFree's fee option in front of users who already use Binance's self-custody wallet, which could broaden the tool beyond TRON-native apps. The 500,871 figure is self-reported by GasFree and was carried by Odaily based on the 16 October announcement, so readers should treat it as the project's own count.

Our view
GasFree's half-million user milestone points to a mixed effect on TRX, not a straightforward demand story. The service clearly helps retail stablecoin users, who can now move USDT or USDD without holding TRX for gas, lowering the friction of TRON-based transfers. But by abstracting fees away from the native token, GasFree also removes one of the most common reasons for casual users to hold TRX.
In my view, the Binance Web3 Wallet integration is the more significant development, because it puts a simpler transfer experience in front of a much larger pool of mainstream wallet users. If GasFree can show sustained transaction volume alongside its user count, that would support genuine adoption rather than vanity metrics. A confirmation from GasFree's own channels or an independent on-chain breakdown would make the 500,871 figure more credible.
