Send USDT on TRON
without holding TRX

Why agents need GasFree

Every USDT transfer on TRON requires energy. Energy requires TRX. An AI agent that wants to pay for an API call needs to first acquire TRX, estimate energy, handle delegation -- none of which is its actual task. GasFree eliminates this: one off-chain signature, MERX handles the rest.

How it works

Supported tokens

Activation fee charged once per agent wallet. All subsequent transfers are $2.

x402 integration

MERX is the only x402 facilitator that supports TRON. When your agent encounters HTTP 402, it can pay with USDT on TRON via GasFree -- same as paying with USDC on Base.

// x402 402 response includes TRON option:
{
  "accepts": [
    { "network": "eip155:8453", "asset": "USDC on Base" },
    { "network": "tron:0x2b6653dc", "asset": "USDT on TRON" }
  ]
}

// Agent chooses TRON, signs TIP-712, gets the resource.
// No TRX needed. MERX handles energy.
