Tron is a decentralized blockchain platform designed for digital content and entertainment. Founded by Justin Sun, Tron aims to create a free, global digital content ecosystem using blockchain and peer-to-peer technology.
TRX is Tron's native cryptocurrency, used for transactions, staking, and powering smart contracts on the network. The Tron blockchain uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, allowing TRX holders to vote for Super Representatives who validate transactions and secure the network.
Tron supports high throughput with low transaction fees, making it popular for DeFi applications, stablecoins like USDT-TRC20, and decentralized applications.
