TRON, symbolized by TRX, is a decentralized blockchain platform founded by Justin Sun in 2017. It aims to create a global digital entertainment ecosystem by providing a fast, scalable, and cost-effective solution for content creators and consumers. TRON's primary focus is on the entertainment industry, including gaming, social media, and online streaming services.
TRON's blockchain uses a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, which allows for faster and more efficient transactions compared to traditional proof-of-work systems. The native cryptocurrency of the TRON network is called TRONIX (TRX), which can be used for various purposes, such as participating in the network's governance, accessing content on the platform, and rewarding content creators.
