About TRON DAO
TRON DAO is a community-oriented decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on propelling the decentralization of the internet using blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps).
Established in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the TRON network has consistently achieved significant milestones since its MainNet launch in May 2018. Notably, July 2018 saw the integration of BitTorrent—a trailblazer in decentralized Web3 services, boasting an extensive user base of over 100 million monthly active users. As of October 2024, the TRON network has amassed over 265 million user accounts, completed more than 8.7 billion transactions, and secured a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $16 billion, according to TRONSCAN.
Furthermore, TRON holds the distinction of having the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) globally, surpassing USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The network achieved full decentralization by December 2021 and is now governed by its community. A landmark achievement was reached in October 2022 when TRON was designated as the national blockchain of the Commonwealth of Dominica. This marked a historic collaboration between a major public blockchain and a sovereign nation to establish its national blockchain framework. Alongside government endorsement for the issuance of Dominica Coin (“DMC”), several TRON-based tokens—TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD—have received legal recognition as authorized digital currency and mediums of exchange within the country.
