• The Graph has announced that it is expanding support for the TRON network with the rollout of its Token API.
• The partnership equips TRON developers to create advanced solutions, including DeFi platforms and payment systems that benefit from the network.

The Graph, a decentralized protocol often described as the data backbone of Web3, has announced its latest initiative to move forward with its support for the TRON ecosystem.

With the launch of its new Token API,  alongside its already-integrated Substreams technology, The Graph is now giving TRON developers access to a truly production-ready, scalable data infrastructure.

“The Graph’s integration represents a significant advancement for developers building on TRON,” Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAOsaid.

With Token API and Substreams, the TRON ecosystem gains access to a solid data infrastructure that has already proven its value across multiple blockchains.

This collaboration empowers TRON developers to build more sophisticated applications faster, whether they’re creating DeFi protocols, payment systems, or innovative new use cases that leverage our network’s speed and scale.

Empowering Developers with Simple Data Access

According to the press release, the new Token API allows developers to tap into pre-indexed blockchain data without building their own indexers. This includes ready-to-use endpoints for token balances, prices across hundreds of trading pairs, swaps, and support for TRON-based decentralized exchanges like JustSwap, SunSwap, and SunPump.

This means teams building wallets, payment systems, portfolio trackers, lending protocols, and more can drastically reduce development time; instead of weeks spent building custom data pipelines, they can now focus on application logic.

While the Token API is designed to cover standard, everyday data needs, Substreams offers a far more customizable and powerful option, the same technology already used across major blockchains like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP), Base, and Polygon (POL).

Now adapted for TRON, Substreams gives developers the ability to tailor data pipelines to their specific use cases.

To support this, The Graph has released modular Substreams components and dedicated “Foundational Stores” engineered specifically for the TRON ecosystem. Moreover, enterprises, especially those in regulated sectors, can run Substreams on-premise or customize modules to meet compliance and auditability needs.

For developers, this modular architecture serves as a way to precisely define how data like balance, price, swap, and transaction information flows into their own databases. Such flexibility is ideal for advanced and emerging applications, think AI, analytics, DePIN, gaming, or high-frequency trading.

Tron Market Metrics

The Graph’s expanded support comes at a critical time. TRON has grown into one of the most actively used blockchains, with huge transaction volume and deep liquidity.

TRON’s total value locked currently stands at $4.747 billion, representing a 1.88% decline over the past 24 hours. On the stablecoin front, the platform’s total market capitalization is $77.878 billion, reflecting a modest 0.58% drop over the past week.

Notably, the majority of this market cap is dominated by USDT, which accounts for 98.51% of stablecoin dominance on TRON, with the network now recording more than 345 million in total user accounts.

Data from Coinglass reveals that derivatives volume for TRX reached approximately $298.17 million, marking an increase of 22.57%. Its open interest stands at roughly $261.79 million, showing a smaller gain of 0.58%. Options volume is mentioned, but currently lacks corresponding data.

At press time, TRON is trading at $0.2932, slightly above the $0.2900 level, following a 1.72% decline in the past 24 hours but a 2.80% gain over the past week. TRX ranks as the 8th largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of approximately $27 billion. Trading activity has surged, with volume jumping 47% to $1.08 billion.
