Geneva, Switzerland, August 17th, 2023, ChainwireTRON DAO Ventures, the investment arm of TRON DAO, has recently bought $2 million worth of CRV tokens. As part of this strategic partnership, Curve will launch on both the TRON and the BTTC networks.Curve is a decentralized exchange acclaimed for its automated market makers (AMMs) tailored for stablecoin trading. Having experienced an exponential surge in the latter half of 2020, it once established itself as the epitome of DeFi platforms. Currently, Curve ranks as the world's second-largest decentralized exchange (DEX) and the largest DEX for stablecoin trading.The recent hack targeting the platform has led to a chain reaction in the DeFi space. TRON founder Justin Sun promptly expressed his support for Curve after the incident, stating, "Curve is an essential DeFi infrastructure for the blockchain industry. Our thoughts are with the team and the users affected. As a community, let's support and strengthen the security measures to protect our decentralized ecosystem."Amidst the volatile market on August 1, TRON forged a partnership with Curve, introducing a stUSDT pool on the platform. stUSDT, the world's first rebase real-world asset (RWA) protocol on the TRON blockchain, is hailed as the Web3 world's version of Yu'E Bao (once China’s largest money market fund). According to Defillama, the TVL on stUSDT has already exceeded $700 million.Following that, TRON DAO Ventures announced its investment in Curve, underscoring TRON's ecosystem support not only through collaboration but also through financial backing. Meanwhile, Curve will integrate with the TRON and the BTTC networks as part of the partnership.The collaboration among TRON, BTTC, and Curve is set to generate crucial synergies for the industry. Curve, a foundation infrastructure in the DeFi domain, offers significant advantages in terms of reduced financial costs and time inefficiencies while also supporting prominent public blockchains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche. This collaboration is poised to help further develop TRON's DeFi ecosystem. Meanwhile, as a major driver of DeFi innovation, TRON will share its most secure and cutting-edge products with Curve.The integration between Curve and BTTC will also fuel the growth of DeFi ecosystems, especially DEX platforms. As the industry's first heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol, BTTC has supported cross-chain functionality between TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain upon its release. It will also introduce zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology later this year, which enables users to build dApps seamlessly across different blockchains, promoting an inclusive ecosystem open to everyone.With the backing of TRON and BTTC, Curve anticipates a rapid rebound, and users are bound to witness a more vibrant DeFi ecosystem in the crypto industry.About TRON DAOTRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.Founded in September 2017 by H.E.

Geneva, Switzerland, June 8th, 2023, ChainwireIt’s been five years since the day in late May 2018 when the TRON MainNet emerged. The layer one blockchain can now authentically be labeled as the public chain of choice, with the most daily active users, the most daily transactions, and the largest circulation of the stablecoin USDT. Impressing the industry with one achievement after another, it has grown into the global leader among all public chains. As the number of comparable chains and competitive options has exponentially increased, TRON continues to stand out with its second-to-none performance, scalability, and security, attracting masses of developers and users worldwide.Following TRON's anniversary, on June 1, Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) began accepting applications for crypto trading platform licenses. As a top-tier public chain, TRON has promised full support for Hong Kong's Web3 ambitions to become a crypto hub of the world.TRON was founded by H.E. Justin Sun in 2017, and its MainNet went live on May 31, 2018. Five years into the launch of its MainNet, TRON now has over 165M users worldwide and has processed more than 5.7B transactions. According to DeFiLlama, it also outshines the pack with a TVL (Total Value Locked) second only to Ethereum.TRON has established a robust commerce infrastructure via partnerships across the industry. It has become the global stablecoin highway for USDT, USDC, TUSD, USDJ, and USDD.According to the data on Tether's website, the supply of TRC20-USDT has exceeded 46.1B, now 10B more than the Ethereum-native ERC20-USDT, accounting for 60% of USDT's total supply.Powered by a secure, cost-effective, and efficient underlying blockchain, the TRC-20 protocol launched by TRON has become the go-to choice among on-chain users. In addition, TRON has developed a well-rounded ecosystem covering the hotly contested fields in the sector, including DeFi, NFT, GameFi, stablecoins, the metaverse, cross-chain solutions, and DIDs, with the commitment of a group of active developers.TRON aims to elevate its on-chain stablecoin market cap to $100B in 2023 and strives to become the preferred choice for stablecoin users around the world.In October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, and seven TRON-based utility tokens were granted statutory status as authorized digital currencies for use in everyday commerce there. This collaboration blazed a trail for blockchain projects to explore technology application and development with sovereign nations.The next five years look to be as exciting as the previous five. The TRON DAO team is confident they work hard to delve deeper into blockchain tech development by welcoming more and more projects and protocols into the ecosystem to #BUIDLtheFUTURE on TRON.

Geneva, Switzerland, May 2nd, 2023, Chainwire The TRON DAO team was in full force at Consensus 2023 in Austin, TX from April 26 to 28, 2023. TRON was a “5 Blocks” sponsor this year, offering the highest tier of support. The quote, “I like to say I live in Austin, Texas because I can live where I want to,” is attributed to movie star Matthew McConaughey. For one week, the capital of Texas, the self-declared “Live Music Capital of the World” became the “Crypto Capital of the World.”What Is Consensus?“Consensus is the world's largest, longest-running, and most influential gathering that brings together all sides of the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 community,” its website declares. Since 2015, the conference has empowered “calibration, collaboration, and resolution for thousands of professionals and builders from around the world forging the future of finance and the new digital economy.”There were four “interest” tracks this year. “TradFi and DeFi” included sessions mapping out the future of finance and investing. “Builders” included deep dives into developing and building within crypto, blockchain and Web3. “Policy” explored the future of crypto policy and regulations with industry and government leaders. “Web3” focused on all things ownership economy, including NFTs, the metaverse, brand building, DAOs and more. Three summits also took place during C23: Money Reimagined, Crypto Policy, and Web3 Brands and Creators.TRON Whale NightThe TRON DAO team kicked the week off right with a smashing TRON Whale Night on April 25, 2023. All the major TRON partners and TRON whales who arrived the day before C23 partied together along with other crypto leaders at an indoor-outdoor, roof-top venue. “Keep Austin Weird” is an iconic statement about the city immortalized on local t-shirts and murals. TRON Whale Night was both weird and wonderful in a way only possibly in Austin, full of delightful drinks, fantastic food, and congenial company. Conversations abounded about TRON’s historic 2022, the innovations and partnerships announced in quarter one of 2023, and the prolific prizes randomly awarded throughout the night, including a number of TRON-branded Ledger and Tron branded backpacks.Highlights from the Week in Austin, TXAs TRON leaders participated in C23, they welcomed visitors to the most electrifying booth present at the conference. Large screens displayed data and digits about the people and power of the TRON ecosystem. TRON Bulls roamed around and even danced around in TRON Bull onesies. The Prize Wheel always had a wait with a long line full of excited present and future Tronics. TRON DAO team members connected with people, engaged with developers, collaborated with innovators, strategized with current partners, and answered questions for those curious about using as well as developing on TRON.TRON DAO leaders shared highlights from the week, which included:Hearing use cases for TRON from other countries from people who expressed thanks for providing a way for people and businesses to engage in commerceCreating connections at TRON Whale Night who later helped create connections during the week.Running into a TRON community member at the booth who got a t-shirt and backpack then showed up in all of his TRON swag later that nightChatting with all the intelligent people behind the innovative companies creating everyday utility with blockchain technologyMeeting developers already building on TRON along with a HackaTRON winner from a couple of seasons agoImagining all the future use cases coming out with a high value on interoperability across blockchainsLearning about the current state of protocols from the visionaries at the forefront pitching new ideas for protocol advancementGetting to wear the TRON Bull onesie and talk to so many people"TRON is the friendliest blockchain,” said a crypto leader who kept running into TRON representatives at side events, commenting about how the team works together to meet the needs of users and partners.
