TRON DAO has expanded its artificial intelligence fund to $1 billion, targeting infrastructure for the emerging agent-driven digital economy.
The fund will focus on agent identity systems, stablecoin-based payments, tokenised real-world assets and developer tools for autonomous financial systems.
The expansion reflects TRON’s thesis that stablecoins will become the primary medium of exchange for AI agents and AI-driven financial activity.
The move comes amid growing competition, with ecosystems such as Solana, Base and Ethereum also investing in agentic AI infrastructure.
TRON said its network is well-suited for this shift due to fast transaction speeds and low costs, supporting high-frequency machine-to-machine payments.
The blockchain currently reports over 370 million accounts, $21 billion in daily transaction volume and more than $85 billion in circulating USDT.
The initiative underscores a broader industry push to position blockchain networks as core infrastructure for AI-driven commerce and autonomous systems.
At the time of reporting, TRON price was $0.3102.
