- TRON DAO has announced that its USD₁ stablecoin is now backed by Chainlink’s trusted data network.
- This means developers on TRON can now tap directly into reliable, on-chain pricing, making it easier to build secure and seamless DeFi applications.
On July 31, TRON DAO, the community-driven organization focused on building a decentralized internet through blockchain and dApps, announced that the USD₁ stablecoin, launched in March 2025 by World Liberty Financial, is now leveraging Chainlink Data Feeds reporting directly on the TRON blockchain.
Fully collateralized by U.S. dollars and short-term Treasuries, with monthly audits verifying its reserves, USD₁ now benefits from Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network for secure, tamper-proof price data, including pairs like USD₁/TRX and other assets.
Key Benefits of the Data Feeds
This integration gives TRON developers reliable on-chain data for building applications while boosting transparency and security around USD₁’s value. Some have questioned the link between TRON and the Trump-backed stablecoin.
World Liberty Financial made a decision to begin minting USD₁ on the TRON network on June 11. This reflects the growing confidence in TRON’s infrastructure, which is fueled by its fast, low-cost transfers in these emerging markets.
Chainlink’s integration delivers highly accurate, real-time pricing to DeFi applications such as trading platforms, lending protocols, and stablecoin operations. With Chainlink trusted oracles, smart contracts gain access to verified external data without manual intervention, reducing risk and improving trust.
Chainlink Data Feeds work by aggregating price data from multiple independent node operators and publishing it on-chain through an AggregatorV3Interface, a standardized interface for smart contracts across EVM-compatible chains, including TRON.
This upgrade builds on TRON’s earlier adoption of Chainlink Data Feeds as its official oracle provider, securing over $5.5B–$6.5B in DeFi TVL through services like JustLend and JustStable, backing tens of billions in TVL.
TRON developers can reference USD1 price feeds in their Solidity smart contracts just like ETH/USD or BTC/USD feeds on other blockchains, using familiar data structures like latestRoundData(). The infrastructure automatically ensures decentralized, verifiable, and tamper-resistant data delivery.
TRON DAO’s ongoing shift to Chainlink as its primary oracle solution has replaced WINkLink and reduced protocol dependency risk while enhancing data quality across the DeFi space.
A Foundation for Growth
Back in May, World Liberty Financial also tapped Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to give USD₁ seamless cross-chain functionality. As we reported, CCIP now enables the secure movement of USD1 across different blockchains, with built-in safeguards like Rate Limits and Smart Execution Guards to prevent malicious activity before it can cause damage.
By merging Chainlink’s trusted infrastructure with TRON’s high-performance blockchain, USD₁ now stands as one of the most transparent, secure, and interoperable stablecoins available.
There’s more. A recent report by on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted TRON’s rise as a leading settlement layer for Tether (USDT), the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization. TRON processed 273 million transactions in May 2025 alone, its second-highest monthly total ever, and recorded 28.7 million active addresses in June, the highest since mid-2023.
Even more significantly, TRON has officially overtaken Ethereum (ETH) in USDT liquidity, with the total USDT supply on TRON reaching an all-time high of $80.8 billion, surpassing Ethereum’s $73.8 billion, and marking a 35% increase year-to-date.
