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. Coming out of C23, the TRON DAO team made some high value connections and left with some high expectations regarding the significant opportunities ahead.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, April 20th, 2023, ChainwireTRON DAO has launched the TRON Policy Report (TPR) Podcast as an informative conversation on the latest developments in cryptocurrency regulation. Host Andrew Hemingway, Policy Lead for TRON DAO, welcomes expert guests to deliver insights and analysis on the most current news and trends in crypto policy.With three episodes already released, the podcast has already covered topics such as the culture of current lawmakers, regulatory needs in the blockchain industry, and ways to add clarity and definition to existing laws for the crypto marketplace. The launch date for the first episode was February 15, 2023.EPISODE ONEIn the first TPR episode, Hemingway spoke with Ari Redbord from TRM Labs, a digital asset compliance and risk management company that monitors, detects, and investigates crypto fraud and financial crime. They discussed the future of crypto regulations, the focus of governing authorities, and the culture of current lawmakers.Redbord framed the current dilemma policy makers and regulatory authorities are facing when he rhetorically posed, “How do we thread the needle between ensuring that bad actors are not taking advantage of this new financial system yet at the same time providing the privacy that is necessary as people are transacting in a more and more open financial system?”Listen to the full interview here.EPISODE TWODr. Lisa Cameron joined TPR’s host for episode two. As a Member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom, Dr. Cameron represents three districts near Glasgow, Scotland – East Kilbride, Strathaven, & Lesmahagow. She serves as a leader in the UK House of Commons and as chair of the crypto and digital assets all-party parliamentary group CryptoUK, which is the trade body representing the digital asset sector in the UK that works directly with policy makers & market participants to develop balanced policy.“We are at the start of a new industrial revolution,” Dr. Cameron explained. She described how her role in cryptocurrency regulation grew out of necessity once she realized this topic was not yet being discussed in parliament, despite the fact that millions of people in the UK were already engaged in cryptocurrency. Dr. Cameron hopes to “[establish] education within the Parliament,” to facilitate informed decisions for proper regulation in the industry. “These open dialogues and debates are crucial,” she warned, making it imperative to understand the technology quickly in order to move forward confidently in a changing world.Listen to their full interview on crypto policy trends and clear regulatory needs here.EPISODE THREEIn the most recent episode, Hemingway welcomed Nick Anthony, policy analyst with the Cato Institute's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives (CatoCMFA), a think tank project dedicated to finding alternatives to failed monetary and financial regimes. Anthony is also a fellow at the Human Rights Foundation (HRF). Hemingway and Anthony addressed the current state of crypto regulation in the U.S. Congress and the quagmire leading policy makers are in due to the stigma surrounding the blockchain industry. The discussion included ways to add clarity and definition to existing laws for the crypto marketplace while acknowledging the challenges of the political process. Anthony pointed out, “One of the challenges right now is that you want policymakers to be fast, but the faster they are, the more mistakes that tend to be made.” This challenge leads to a deficiency of activity from Congress and the relative independence of regulatory agencies.Listen to the full interview here.STAY INFORMEDTRON DAO strives toward transparency in Web3 as we #BUIDLtheFUTURE of commerce and community for every person on the planet.

Singapore, Singapore, April 19th, 2023, ChainwireJustLend DAO has announced the launch of two new features – "Staked TRX" and "Energy Rental,” aimed at providing users with more flexible and streamlined options while reducing energy rental costs. This major upgrade, released on April 16, expands the reach of JustLend DAO’s capability to multiply users' benefits by putting their assets into active use.STAKED TRXThe new "Staked TRX" feature is based on Stake 2.0 and allows users to earn high yields by staking TRX then receiving sTRX tokens. With "Staked TRX," the platform automatically earns yields for users via (a) voting rewards as the platform automatically votes for Super Representatives with their staked TRX and (b) renting out the Energy obtained by staking, resulting in higher yields and a much simpler staking process. As voting rewards and rents accrue, the exchange rate of TRX to sTRX will rise accordingly, thus increasing total yields.ENERGY RENTALThe new "Energy Rental" feature provides a more cost-effective alternative to obtaining Energy by staking or burning Energy. Users can rent Energy or end their rental at any time, and the new process is less complicated and less expensive.ADVANCED DECENTRALIZATIONTRON Stake 2.0 makes resource and voting management remarkably more flexible than its predecessor, Stake 1.0. JustLend DAO, the first TRON-based decentralized financial platform, now allows users to earn yields through supplied assets, borrow digital assets against collateral, participate in TRX staking, and rent Energy. The launch of Staked TRX and Energy Rental is expected to spawn a fully decentralized resource market.The resources and votes already obtained via staking in Stake 1.0 remain valid, and the staked TRX can be redeemed as usual. However, please take note that users may only stake TRX in Stake 2.0 going forward.EXPANDING ECOSYSTEMTRONSCAN statistics, as of April 18, 2023, show an expansive user base of more than 154.3 million TRON accounts and a total transfer volume of more than $7.35 trillion. The launch of Staked TRX and Energy Rental frees TRON users from their headaches and elevates their user experience. This upgrade empowers JustLend DAO with a new level of efficiency, catering to the massive demand from TRON’s users. JustLend DAO also plans to launch a JST buyback-and-burn program with its revenue to facilitate sustained, healthy growth of the JST ecosystem. Further details will be forthcoming.In the spirit of decentralization, TRON community members have been using applications related to the TRON Energy Market like TRONPulse Energy Pool, the TRON NRG Marketplace, and Token Goodies. JustLend DAO is excited about the services these and other solutions have been providing and hopes they will continue with much success. An ever-increasing amount of TRON users results in an ever-increasing amount of transactions, which requires an abundance of Energy marketplaces to strengthen and scale utility across the ecosystem. JustLend DAO champions these solutions as well as any others that emerge as the TRON ecosystem expands.The two new features of Staked TRX and Energy Rental from JustLend DAO demonstrate yet another way that the TRON blockchain is empowering decentralized commerce and community for every person on the planet.About JustLend DAOJustLend DAO is TRON's decentralized financial platform where users can earn yields through supplied assets, borrow digital assets against collateral, participate in TRX staking, and rent Energy. Committed to developing TRON-based DeFi protocols and providing all-in-one financial solutions to its users, there is now more than $8.7 Total Value Locked in the JUST Network.The JustLend DAO provides a forum for its users to participate in governance and directives, while empowering its users with decentralized authority, trustless transactions, smart-contract automation, and security with transparent accountability.Tokens in the JustLend DAO markets (TRX, BTT, JST, NFT, USDT, TUSD, USDD) are granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the Commonwealth of Dominica. JustLend DAO exists to provide stable and convenient financial lending services for all users.Engage with the JustLend DAO community via the JustLend DAO Portal, Telegram, Twitter, and the JUST Network.ContactJulia [email protected]

On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens - TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.TRONNetwork | TRONDAO | Twitter | YouTube | Telegram | Discord | Reddit | GitHub | Medium | ForumContactHayward [email protected]
