RHEA Finance Integrates TRON, Delivering Chain Abstracted Cross-Chain Liquidity

British Virgin Islands, March 24, 2026 — 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 brings chain abstracted liquidity to one of the world’s most active blockchain ecosystems, enabling 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.

The TRON network has established itself as a foundational blockchain infrastructure for global stablecoin payments, with a circulating supply of USDT exceeding $85 billion on TRON and more than 370 million user accounts. As a high-throughput, low-cost financial rail, TRON processes over $20 billion in daily transfer volume, making it a natural environment for chain abstracted DeFi applications that aim to serve users at scale.

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. The architecture focuses on chain abstraction and cross-chain interoperability, allowing assets and liquidity to move between blockchains without fragmentation.

“With RHEA’s TRON integration, the massive user base of TRON gains access to broad cross-chain liquidity through a single wallet,” said Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of NEAR Protocol and advisor to RHEA Finance. “This is the power of NEAR Intents and chain abstraction. The user states their intent and it just works, no need to think about infrastructure.”

Through the integration, TRON users can trade directly from wallets on TRON without switching to new wallet extensions or migrating seed phrases. RHEA Finance provides access to an L1 matching engine capable of high throughput, with TRON-native transactions designed for fast finality and minimal slippage. Native settlement workflows are designed to enable collateral and proceeds to remain within the TRON ecosystem, maintaining the security and familiarity that users expect.

“RHEA Finance’s integration represents a meaningful step in further driving cross-chain DeFi accessibility to TRON’s global user base,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson of the TRON DAO. “By leveraging NEAR’s intent-based architecture, users can now transact across ecosystems without leaving TRON. This collaboration enhances interoperability across the broader Web3 landscape and opens new possibilities for cross-chain liquidity and innovation.”

TRON’s dominant position in global stablecoin circulation makes it a critical component of the digital payments economy. By connecting TRON’s high-velocity liquidity with RHEA Finance’s intent-driven cross-chain protocols, the integration enables TRX and USDT to participate more dynamically in a broader, interconnected financial ecosystem.

The collaboration addresses fragmented liquidity, complex bridging workflows, and the need for multiple wallets. These persistent challenges in cross-chain DeFi are addressed through a more unified experience where users express outcomes and the infrastructure handles execution. As the blockchain industry moves toward greater interoperability, integrations like this demonstrate how intent-based systems can scale decentralized finance to meet the needs of a global user base.
