what's tron?

TRON is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to create a global digital content entertainment ecosystem, enabling developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (DApps) with smart contract functionality. Founded in 2014 by Justin Sun and overseen by the non-profit TRON Foundation since 2017, it operates on a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and transitioned from an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token to its own independent blockchain in 2018. The native cryptocurrency, TRX (Tronix), is used for transactions, staking, and governance within the network. Key features include high throughput for scalable DApp development, low transaction fees, and support for stablecoins and DeFi protocols, positioning TRON as a leader in global payments and content sharing. The platform emphasizes decentralization to empower creators and users, with integrations like WBTC relaunch enhancing its cross-chain capabilities. Despite criticisms regarding illicit activity facilitation, TRON continues to grow in TVL, fees, and revenue metrics.
