The Binance exchange has announced an update to its fees policy regarding the Tron (TRX) blockchain. In reality, this increase is not arbitrary, and stems from an update to the Tron network, which could threaten its competitiveness compared to other blockchains.
Tron : pourquoi est-ce que Binance multiplie les frais de retrait en TRX par 15 ?
Why is Binance increasing its fees on the Tron (TRX) blockchain?
After an update of the Tron (TRX) blockchain, the Binance cryptocurrency platform has revised its fee policy for this network upwards. This measure follows the Tron improvement proposal (TIP) number 491, which was implemented on February 2.
Indeed, the actors of the network have made the choice to set up a system of fees based on what has been called the Dynamic Energy Model. Simply put, this update aims to “penalize” the participants deemed to be using too many resources on the network.
Indeed, it has been found that some of the activity on the Tron blockchain is seeing transactions “of low value, even fraudulent“. These transactions could then accumulate to the detriment of transactions considered more legitimate. Thus, this new fee management on the network would aim to combat its low value transactions.
In this way, Binance’s choice is not arbitrarybut simply cascades the new policy to the Tron ecosystem.

Thus, this fee adjustment is a necessity due to TIP-491 update. But the biggest uptick is with the withdrawal of TRX, the fees for which have simply been multiplied by fifteen.

While this blockchain was popular for transferring stablecoins between exchanges due to its low cost, it suddenly becomes less competitive. Thus, on such transfers, it could benefit other networks such as the BNB Chain or Polygon which are better positioned.

I timidly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 during my quest for financial freedom. Initially invested moderately, it was only two years later that I took the gamble of betting everything on the movement that was taking shape then. I then dedicate 2021 to training myself better to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I do know, I want to share with you.
