Project Overview

Project Goal

The goal of this project is to integrate full TRON blockchain support together with BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) into the NUFI non-custodial multichain wallet. This will enable secure asset management, DApp connectivity, staking visibility, hardware wallet compatibility, and unified portfolio management across TRON, BTTC, and other major blockchains.

This integration will allow TRON users to securely manage assets alongside other major ecosystems without needing multiple wallets, and move liquidity across chains without needing external tooling.


Unique Value Proposition

NUFI specializes in secure multichain wallet infrastructure with strong hardware wallet support and security-first design. Supporting both TRON and BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) provides:

  • Secure self-custody access to the broader TRON and BTTC ecosystem

  • Hardware wallet compatibility across TRON and BTTC assets

  • Reduced wallet fragmentation for multichain users

  • Exposure of TRON ecosystem to users already active on Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum/EVM, and Cardano

  • DApp connectivity on all chains concurrently (ideal for multichain DApps, e.g. bridges)

  • Pathway to swap assets on other chains into TRON using SwapKit and NEAR Intents integration inside NUFI

Rather than focusing purely on basic wallet functionality, NUFI emphasizes security, interoperability, and long-term infrastructure sustainability.

NUFI goes beyond basic wallet support by creating a secure and unified environment where new users and liquidity can be routed into TRON and BTTC, especially as users from other ecosystems gain immediate access to TRON-based USDT as a fast, low-cost option for everyday value transfer.


Project Demo

The TRON and BTTC integration will be available directly inside the live NUFI wallet once released:

During development, preview builds or staging access can be shared with TRON ecosystem partners for early testing and feedback when needed.


Expected Completion Date for 2025

Initial full TRON and BTTC integration planned within approximately 3 months from project start.


Current Progress (%)

~10% (architecture preparation and initial technical evaluation phase).


Technical & Governance Details

Project Test Instructions

Once builds are available:

  1. Install NUFI wallet extension or access web wallet

  2. Enable TRON and BTTC networks

  3. Create or import TRON and BTTC accounts

  4. Send/receive TRX or TRC tokens

  5. Connect wallet to supported TRON DApps

  6. Test hardware wallet signing (when available)

Detailed testing documentation will be published alongside releases.


Technical Details

The integration will leverage NUFI’s existing modular multichain architecture and include:

TRON Integration

  • TRON account creation/restoration (offering multiple derivation paths)

  • Secure key management (consistent with other supported chains)

  • TRX, TRC-10, TRC-20, TRC-1155 asset support

  • DApp connectivity and signing flows (including message signing support)

  • Hardware wallet transaction signing and message signing workflows - Ledger and OneKey in the initial release. Trezor and Keystone, once TRON is fully integrated.

  • Transaction history and portfolio visibility

  • In-app crosschain swaps using SwapKit & NEAR Intents

  • QA, internal security review, and external audit collaboration

BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) Integration

  • Native BTTC network support (EVM-compatible chain)

  • Cross-chain asset visibility between TRON ↔ BTTC

  • Support for bridged assets where applicable

  • Compatibility with EVM DApps running on BTTC

  • Hardware wallet signing aligned with existing EVM integrations

This dual integration ensures compatibility with TRON ecosystem scaling and cross-chain infrastructure while maintaining NUFI’s security standards.

NUFI already supports multiple ecosystems including Bitcoin, Solana, Cardano, Ethereum/EVM networks, and Flow, allowing reuse of proven infrastructure patterns.


Smart Contract Links

Not applicable at the initial wallet integration stage.
If TRON-specific contracts become necessary (e.g., swaps, staking helpers), links will be shared publicly.


How is the Project Governed?

Currently centralized product development by the NUFI core team, with strong community feedback loops and ecosystem collaboration.
Future governance models may evolve depending on ecosystem integrations.


Funding & Business Model

Funding Request

Total Cost (USD): 48 000

Details:

Michal Petro - CEO - Project management - 1000 USD/MD - 4 MD β†’ Total 4 000 USD

Rafael Korbas - CTO - Backend development - 1200 USD/MD - 20 MD β†’ Total 24 000 USD

Peter Benc - Senior Developer - Development - 1000 USD/MD - 20 MD β†’ Total 20 000 USD

Infrastructure and operational costs are covered by NUFI.


Revenue Model

NUFI generates revenue through:

  • Swap/exchange fees

  • Potential validator rewards

Core wallet functionality remains non-custodial and user-controlled.


Interested in TRON Having a Stake?

Potentially yes.
Strategic alignment can strengthen long-term ecosystem commitment, though this is not a prerequisite for the integration.


Preferred Collaboration Method

We prefer:

  • Direct collaboration with TRON technical teams

  • Ecosystem coordination around hardware wallet support

  • Joint security reviews where relevant

  • Possible co-marketing once integration is production ready

We value practical collaboration over purely promotional partnerships.


Ecosystem Impact

Partnerships

Relevant experience includes:

  • Hardware wallet manufacturers (Ledger, Trezor, GridPlus, Keystone, OneKey)

  • Multiple blockchain ecosystems (Bitcoin, Solana, Cardano, Ethereum/EVM, Flow)

  • Validator operations across several networks (Solana, Cardano, Flow)

  • Previous hackathon awards including Flow and Zcash ecosystem projects


Time on TRON

Pre-integration phase.
This proposal represents the planned entry into TRON ecosystem infrastructure.


Project Milestones

Milestone 1 β€” Core TRON Integration (Month 1)

  • Native TRON blockchain support

  • Account creation/import

  • Send/receive TRX and tokens

  • Initial DApp connectivity

  • QA and internal testing

Outcome: Functional TRON asset management in NUFI.


Milestone 2 β€” TRON Ecosystem Connectivity and BTTC integration (Month 2)

  • TRON transaction history

  • Ledger and OneKey hardware wallet support for TRON

  • BTTC integration - including accounts, send/receive, DApp connectivity, and HW wallet support (Ledger, Trezor, OneKey, GridPlus, Keystone)

Outcome: Active interaction with TRON ecosystem applications and live BTTC integration within NUFI wallet


Milestone 3 β€” TRON Advanced Features & Production Release (Month 3)

  • In-app TRON staking

  • Keystone hardware wallet support

  • Final QA and production deployment

  • Documentation of API for DApps release

Outcome: Production-ready TRON wallet experience within NUFI with in-app staking.

Dependent Milestone - TRON support for Trezor devices

  • We will be ready to add TRON support for Trezor hardware wallets (for account creation/import, asset management, staking, DApp connectivity, swaps) as soon as Trezor devices support TRON

Project in 5 Years

Over the next five years, we aim to become a deeply integrated wallet provider within the TRON ecosystem. Our goal is for NUFI to be a trusted place where users can securely connect their preferred hardware wallets and manage TRON assets within a seamless multichain environment.

Beyond the product itself, we want to actively participate in the TRON community β€” collaborating with ecosystem partners, supporting adoption, and engaging in events and initiatives as we always have done in the ecosystems we support. For us, this is not just adding another supported chain, but joining the TRON ecosystem for the long term.

More support for TRON + BTTC is good, even better that it’s multichain wallet with strong hardware wallet base.
