TRON Price - TRX/USD : $0.36123

The TRON blockchain platform, launched in September 2017 by Justin Sun, targets the digital entertainment industry. TRON (TRX) tokens initially launched as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum before migrating to their own blockchain in 2018. TRON's objective is to establish a free, global entertainment system for digital content, providing high transaction speeds (thousands per second) and low fees. It utilises a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism with 27 Super Representatives for network security and efficiency. Similar to Ethereum, TRON facilitates the development of decentralised applications (dApps) and smart contracts, aiming for higher performance and lower costs. TRON seeks to remove intermediaries from content sharing, enabling direct interaction between creators and consumers. The acquisition of BitTorrent expanded TRON's ecosystem into decentralised file sharing and digital content distribution.
