TRON TRXPrice $ 0.280

TRON is a blockchain platform that was launched in 2017 by Justin Sun. It is designed to support decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, with its native cryptocurrency being TRX.

Key Aspects of TRON

• Decentralization: TRON operates on a decentralized network, allowing users to access content without central control.

• Scalability: The platform can handle up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS), which is higher than many other blockchain systems.

• Transaction Costs: TRON offers relatively low transaction fees compared to some other blockchain platforms.

• Compatibility: It is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it easier for developers to migrate dApps from Ethereum to TRON.

Technical Structure

TRON's architecture consists of three main layers:

1. Core Layer:

   • Manages smart contracts (written in Solidity), account operations, and the Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism.

   • DPoS involves 27 "Super Representatives" who validate transactions and maintain the blockchain. These representatives are elected by TRX holders.

2. Storage Layer:

   • Uses block storage for transaction history and state storage for account and smart contract data.

   • Features a graph database structure for efficient data querying.

3. Application Layer:

   • Provides tools for developers to build dApps, wallets, and other blockchain-based solutions.

Ecosystem Components

• TRX Token: Used for transactions, staking, voting, and interacting with dApps.

• dApps: TRON supports various decentralized applications, including exchanges and financial platforms.

• BitTorrent Integration: After acquiring BitTorrent, TRON introduced the BitTorrent Token (BTT), integrating peer-to-peer file sharing into its ecosystem.

Governance

TRON uses an on-chain governance model where users stake TRX tokens to vote for Super Representatives. This approach involves the community in network decisions and rewards participants with network incentives.
