TRON ships mandatory Empedocles upgrade as weekly fees top Solana

  • —TRON weekly fees hit $5.56 million versus Solana's $4.20 million and BNB Chain's $2.74 million
  • —Total fees across tracked networks reached $17.51 million for the week
  • —Empedocles is mandatory for node operators and adds no new user-facing features
  • —Tokenized equities on TRON are planned for the fourth quarter of 2026
Why it matters: TRON keeps the fee lead on steady USDT flows, while its RWA push could extend usage beyond stablecoin transfers.
