On Tuesday, the TronDAO team announced via X that RHEA Finance, a cross-chain decentralized exchange and lending protocol built on NEAR’s intent-based architecture, today announced its integration with the TRON network.
The integration enables TRON users to trade, lend, and borrow across multiple chains without requiring users to directly interact with bridges, additional wallets, or awareness of underlying chain mechanics.
Powered by NEAR Intents and NEAR Chain Signatures, the integration allows TRON users to express financial intents, such as lending USDT or swapping TRX, the native utility token of the TRON network, while a decentralized solver network handles execution across supported blockchains.
Users sign transactions using only their wallet on TRON through the RHEA PassKey experience, which provides secure validation and seamless transaction signing. No NEAR, EVM, or additional wallet is required.
RHEA Finance operates as a cross-chain DEX and lending protocol that aggregates liquidity across multiple blockchains. By integrating TRON, the platform extends its multi-chain liquidity infrastructure to support seamless asset trading, lending, and borrowing for TRON’s vast user base.
TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system developed by the Tron Foundation and launched in 2017. Originally, TRX tokens were ERC-20-based tokens deployed on Ethereum, but a year later, they were moved to their own network.
Initially, the project was created with the aim of providing full ownership rights to makers of digital content. The main goal is to help content creators (who receive only a small part of the income) and encourage them with more rewards for their work. How: invite content consumers to reward content makers directly (without intermediaries like YouTube, Facebook, or Apple).
The TRON software supports smart contracts, various kinds of blockchain systems, and decentralized applications, aka dApps. The cryptocurrency platform uses a transaction model similar to Bitcoin (BTC), namely UTXO. Transactions take place in a public ledger, where users can track the history of operations.
TRON is a public blockchain attempting to become the core infrastructure for a decentralized internet. TRON relies on a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism in which 27 Super Representatives rotate every 6 hours to validate blocks and transactions. TRX is down 0.9% today and is trading at $0.3075 at press time.
