On June 25th, TRON officially celebrated its sixth Independence Day. This marks six years of stable and secure operation for the TRON mainnet, from achieving decentralization and becoming a DAO organization, to actively promoting the arrival of the Web3 world, and now undertaking the mission of building a metaverse financial free port. TRON has always been steadfast in its goals, moving forward vigorously and achieving many significant milestones through continuous innovation.
“Seeking innovation in stability,” TRON mainnet was officially launched six years ago today, taking a crucial step towards establishing its own decentralized network. Today, TRON has become a crucial infrastructure driving global blockchain technology and crypto finance. In addition to thriving ecosystems in mature areas such as NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, stablecoins, and cross-chain, TRON is also actively expanding into new fields like RWA and AI, collectively building the “TRON metaverse.” As of now, TRON has surpassed 239 million users, with over 7.9 billion transactions and a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $20.3 billion.
In terms of stablecoins, TRON has established a stablecoin ecosystem consisting of USDT, USDC, TUSD, USDJ, USDD, as well as offshore RMB stablecoins TCNH and CNHT. TRON, as the largest issuing network of USDT, has issued over 59.8 billion USDT on-chain, covering various use cases such as communication transfers, shopping payments, travel settlements, live streaming consumption, and fiat currency exchanges.
Behind the continuous prosperity of its ecosystem is TRON’s long-standing commitment to prioritizing the security of user assets. Collaboration with Dubai’s top network security audit company, FearsOff, reflects TRON’s ultimate pursuit of network security. The appointment of Singaporean goalkeeper Hassan Sunny as TRON’s Chief Security Officer and official spokesperson marks the beginning of a new era for blockchain security and asset protection.
Furthermore, the TRON Hackathon has successfully held six seasons in a row, becoming a top-tier event in the industry. Through these events, TRON has gathered outstanding community developers, giving birth to numerous innovative projects and leading the industry to inspire more creativity. At the same time, the global blockchain expansion project TRON Builder Tour, hosted by TRON, has established connections with world-renowned cities.
Looking to the future, TRON is not only focused on the stable development of its public chain and ecosystem but also continuously innovating content and embracing a broader decentralized world. In July 2023, TRON’s ecosystem witnessed the birth of its first RWA project stUSDT, hailed as the “Alipay of the Web3 world,” serving as a bridge between traditional markets and the blockchain ecosystem. In February of this year, TRON introduced a Bitcoin layer 2 solution and roadmap, injecting financial vitality into Bitcoin and showcasing TRON’s role as a leading public chain in the industry.
On the path to building a metaverse financial free port, TRON has established close relationships and collaborations with many like-minded mainstream companies, including Google, Huawei, and Amazon. It is worth noting that Google Cloud became a TRON super representative candidate in May this year. TRON is driving the widespread application of blockchain technology.
On April 16th, TRON released its theme song “Genesis Song: TRON New Era,” co-created with Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer. Filled with a powerful force of struggle and positive exploration, this song embodies the core strength of TRON.
TRON founder Justin Sun recently stated in an interview, “Web3 is a new way of collaboration and symbiosis, and we look forward to creating a more open, inclusive, and decentralized digital world.” Like every Independence Day before, the sixth Independence Day will also mark a new starting point for TRON. We will spare no effort to build a metaverse financial free port, promote the wider adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and together create a bright future for TRON.
