TRON

TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based platform that was developed by the Tron Foundation and launched in 2017. It was initially created with the intention of providing full ownership rights to creators of digital content. The platform supports smart contracts, various types of blockchain systems, and decentralized applications, also known as dApps. TRON seeks to create a decentralized Internet and serves as a tool for developers to create dApps, potentially providing an alternative to Ethereum. The platform uses a transaction model similar to Bitcoin (BTC), with transactions taking place in a public ledger where users can track the history of operations. TRON was founded by Justin Sun, who now serves as CEO.

TRON operates using a consensus mechanism known as delegated proof-of-stake. TRX owners can freeze their cryptocurrency to obtain Tron Power, which allows them to vote for "super representatives" who serve as block producers. These block producers are compensated for verifying transactions, and these compensations are then distributed among the people who voted for them. The platform also supports the creation of coins by content creators, which can be used in their own developed applications. Furthermore, TRON carries out decentralized games on the network, allowing players to encourage and reward creators with digital assets directly.

TRON aims to provide an environment where content creators can connect directly with their audiences. By eliminating centralized platforms, it strives to ensure that creators don't lose as much commission to intermediaries. This could potentially make content less expensive for consumers. TRON also supports the creation of dApps on its network, allowing anyone to offer content and potentially receive digital assets in return for their efforts. The platform's ability to create and openly share content without concern for transaction fees is a key advantage of TRON. Furthermore, TRON is designed to process up to 2000 transactions per second without fees, making it suitable for daily use.

TRON was launched in 2017 by the Tron Foundation, with Justin Sun serving as its CEO. Initially, TRX tokens were ERC-20-based tokens deployed on Ethereum, but a year later they were moved to their own network. The project was created with the aim of providing full ownership rights to makers of digital content. In 2018, TRON acquired the file sharing service BitTorrent. The platform has divided its goals into six phases, which include delivering simple distributed file sharing, driving content creation through financial rewards, allowing content creators to launch their own personal tokens, and decentralizing the gaming industry.
