Blockchain infrastructure developer Boosty Labs has proposed a detailed design for the Tron Settlement Batching Layer.
The proposal was published on the CTDG Dev Hub on November 14th for public review by validators, developers, and community members.
This proposal focuses on a simple idea with big implications: grouping many transactions into a single on-chain transmission.
This method reduces the load on the mainnet, lowers fees for high-volume users, and helps Tron scale as more companies use it for stablecoin transfers.
Given Tron’s dominant role in global USDT distribution, this proposal is timely and strategically important.
If approved, the design will be rolled out in stages, starting with testnet deployment of payment contracts and pricing modules, followed by security audits, aggregator node integration, and public validation libraries, before reaching mainnet after community approval.
How batch processing is expected to work

This design introduces an off-chain processing layer that collects, validates, and compresses transactions before committing them on-chain.
All payments remain tied directly to the Tron mainnet without new bridges, separate chains, or new tokens.
This approach provides advantages over traditional Layer 2 models that rely on external infrastructure.
Transactions are collected off-chain until they reach a certain threshold. They are then verified and converted into a single batch with cryptographic proof.
Only that batch is sent to the blockchain to verify the proof and complete the payment.
This process reduces repetitive tasks on the mainnet, allowing it to operate more efficiently while handling a higher volume of economic activity.
To accommodate the needs of different users, Boosty Labs proposes three pricing tiers based on urgency. Instant mode allows instant payments at premium rates.
Delayed mode provides reasonable latency at standard rates.
Batch mode is designed for exchanges, payment processors, and other high-volume users who can wait for the next batch in exchange for significant fee reductions.
Target a large number of actors

A key part of this proposal is an automated system to identify users who would benefit most from batch processing.
Evaluate transaction frequency, transfer size, and distribution pattern to determine batch eligibility.
Accounts that process more than 50 stablecoin transfers per day, regularly transfer amounts greater than $10,000, or distribute funds to more than 25 recipients per week may be added to a whitelist managed by smart contracts.
This proposal aims to reduce the fee to approximately 0.05 TRX per recipient in batches.
For exchanges and enterprise platforms that send thousands of transfers every day, the savings can be significant.
Why it matters to Tron

Tron already accounts for more than half of the world’s circulating USDT supply.
Its network has become the preferred payments layer for exchanges, payment processors, and users seeking predictable and low-cost transfers.
Native batch processing strengthens that position by reducing unnecessary on-chain load and smoothing network activity.
This means that high-volume users can improve operational efficiency, validators can enjoy a more scalable system in the long run, and everyday users can enjoy more stable fees.
For Tron itself, batch processing opens the door to higher transaction throughput without changing the underlying consensus model.
