THORWallet added TRON cross‑chain swaps, enabling native TRX and TRC‑20 USDT exchanges with major blockchains through an architecture combining THORChain and NEAR Intents. The update aims to let users perform non‑custodial, native-asset swaps without manual bridging or wrapped tokens, shortening a key friction point in multi‑chain DeFi.
THORWallet routes TRON-native assets into a dual‑protocol stack: THORChain supplies on‑chain, permissionless liquidity while NEAR Intents provides an abstraction layer that translates user goals into executable cross‑chain operations. THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that enables native cross‑chain swaps using a network of vaults and liquidity pools. NEAR Intents is an intent‑based abstraction that lets users express the desired outcome (for example, “swap 100 USDT on TRON for native ETH”); off‑chain solvers then compete to find the most efficient execution path and the winning route is verified and executed via the NEAR blockchain.
The implementation supports both seed wallets and multisig wallets and preserves full self‑custody throughout the swap. By avoiding wrapped or synthetic representations, the flow reduces reliance on centralized bridges and intermediaries that have historically produced loss events. The design also eliminates the need for users to manually manage gas, addresses or separate bridge steps: the wallet orchestrates the path and execution.
How TRON cross‑chain swaps work
The TRON integration expands THORWallet’s cross‑chain surface into a network with substantial scale — the data included in the announcement notes TRON has more than 329 million user accounts and around $28 billion in Total Value Locked as of September 2025. THORWallet positions this as unlocking one of the largest stablecoin ecosystems, especially for USDT (TRC‑20), and increasing liquidity access for payments, lending and trading across chains.
THORWallet reported cumulative cross‑chain swap volume exceeding $1.7 billion and more than 165,000 wallet downloads, and earlier communications referenced $1.1 billion in trading volume reported in mid‑November. The product stack already aggregates other routing and DEX integrations, including Maya, Chainflip and 1inch, and the wallet is described as a top volume driver on several of those protocols.
Additional platform features noted include multisig functions for DAOs and enterprises, fiat rails such as a Global MasterCard and Swiss IBAN, and a newly launched TITN token intended to deliver loyalty rewards, fee reductions and in‑app perks.
The combined architecture—native liquidity plus intent‑based routing—seeks to lower technical and security barriers for users who need true native exchanges between TRON and other chains while keeping private keys in users’ control.
The TRON integration extends THORWallet’s chain coverage and aims to reduce bridging risk by pairing THORChain’s native liquidity with NEAR Intents’ intent execution. The move could broaden TRON asset usability across DeFi if user and liquidity growth continue.
