TRONDAO

Comparing Aptos (APT) and Tron (TRX) is to observe two very different blockchain philosophies. Aptos is a newcomer born from advanced corporate research focused on future security and scalability, while Tron is a seasoned veteran that has dominated the high-volume transaction market with low fees.
In-Depth Comparison: Two Different Approaches
Origins and Philosophy
Aptos was born from an academic and corporate environment, developed by the former crypto project Diem team from Meta (Facebook). Its philosophy is to build the most secure and scalable Layer 1 blockchain from the ground up, targeting adoption by institutions and large-scale Web3 applications. On the other hand, Tron was born from the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Justin Sun. Its philosophy focuses on the mass market with a mission to 'decentralize the web', targeting the creator economy, entertainment, and becoming the primary platform for fast and cheap transactions.

As Justin Sun’s Tron network has undergone a significant upgrade, the TRX price has seen a major rally despite the recent hack.


Reportedly, scammers hacked the official Twitter account of Tron and used it to steal user funds. While Sun traced the stolen funds to OKX, he contacted them to freeze the assets.
Notably, the TRX price, currently trading at $0.2482, surged by a marginal $1.6% over the last 24 hours and a notable 7.2% over the past month despite a 0.6% weekly dip.
Though TRX reached a daily high of $0.2498 following the upgrade, the Twitter hack pulled the price down.
Tron Upgrade Boosts TRX Price Despite Recent Security Breach
Justin Sun’s Tron blockchain received a major upgrade, only to be hit by a security breach on the platform’s official X account shortly after. However, Tron’s TRX token stood largely unaffected by the hack, surging by nearly 2%.
Immediately after the upgrade, the token saw a significant surge of 7%, with its trading volume increasing by a whopping 43%.
According to TronScan’s on-chain data, transaction volume on the TRON network surged 15% to over 5.8 million transactions by 1:00 PM UTC
Despite the hack, the TRX token is now trading around $0.24, sparking optimism within the Tron ecosystem.
Twitter Hack: What Happened to Tron?
Following the upgrade, the Tron ecosystem faced a security breach, with scammers hacking the firm’s official Twitter account to promote a scam. Using the compromised account, the scammers stole funds and moved them to accounts allegedly linked to OKX, a top crypto exchange.
Taking quick action on the matter, Justin Sun urged OKX to freeze the funds connected to the scam. Addressing X, Sun wrote on X,

We urgently call on @okx to immediately freeze and investigate the fraudulent funds deposited following the illegal takeover of the @trondao Twitter account. We trust that OKX will act swiftly and responsibly, ensuring that its platform does not become a safe haven for scam proceeds.

Further, seeking support from the investigation team, Sun exposed the scammer’s deposit address: EuzLBJdKCxYEPW7SDrn8GSaFkMEPxnW9Vk6fZr8ZrqwH. He also provided two transaction hashes:

OKX Responds
In response to Justin Sun’s request, OKX Founder Star Xu posited that the platform will collaborate with law enforcement and may freeze funds based on preliminary evidence. However, he added that continued freezing requires legal documentation from authorities.

Despite these incidents over the past few hours, the TRX price remains stable, trading in a green zone.
