TRON, with its complete ecosystem, active user base, and large asset scale, has secured a core position among mainstream public chains.
Especially in this round of the crypto bull market, the achievements of TRON have been remarkable: not only is it the public chain network with the highest issuance of USDT, but it is also the preferred settlement layer for stablecoins, accounting for about 60% of stablecoin trading volume; in May, the monthly revenue exceeded $350 million, making it the second most profitable product in the crypto market.
According to DeFiLlama data, on June 16, the total locked value (TVL) of DeFi applications within the TRON ecosystem reached $4.84 billion, with the number of active addresses exceeding 2.3 million and the stablecoin asset scale approaching $80 billion, with its TVL consistently ranking among the top five in the entire public chain market.
These impressive data not only showcase the solid user base and strong asset strength of TRON but also serve as a powerful testament to its ecological prosperity.
The three driving forces behind data growth: over 200,000 new addresses added daily, asset volume exceeding trillions, and a rich and diverse ecosystem of protocols.
In the past year, data on the TRON chain has shown comprehensive explosive growth, with ecological vitality at its peak. 'Daily new addresses exceeding 200,000, the on-chain circulating asset volume exceeding trillions, and the ecosystem protocols being rich and diverse' are the three driving forces behind the data growth of TRON, and a series of impressive data achievements demonstrate TRON's strong growth potential and leading market competitiveness.
In terms of user scale and growth, the user base of the TRON network is steadily expanding, with the total number of on-chain accounts and new addresses maintaining strong growth momentum, further solidifying the user base. According to TRONScan browser data, as of June 13, the total number of on-chain accounts has exceeded 313 million, with more than 200,000 new addresses added daily, over 8.67 million daily on-chain transactions, and a total transferred asset value scale of up to $25 billion daily.
It is worth mentioning that the growth trend of on-chain address accounts in the TRON network shows a stable linear trajectory. Looking back to the same day a year ago, there were about 237 million on-chain accounts, and now it has achieved more than 32% leap growth, with an average of about 210,000 new accounts added daily. This data not only strongly confirms the continuous expansion of the TRON network's user base but also highlights the broad appeal and strong market penetration of its ecosystem globally, successfully attracting massive users worldwide and laying a solid foundation for the continuous prosperity of the ecosystem.
In terms of transaction data processing, the TRON network also performs excellently, with on-chain transactions being extremely active, averaging millions to over a billion transactions daily, with the average daily total transfer value maintained at over $23 billion in the past 30 days. Such a large scale and high-frequency of transaction data not only reflect the TRON network's strong capabilities in capital circulation but also indicate its relatively stable and secure characteristics.
In terms of asset scale, TRON has shown a strong growth momentum. From the total locked value (TVC) of circulating assets on the TRON chain, it has increased by over 40% this year, and the assets present a diversified ecological system.
According to TRONScan browser data, as of June 13, the total value of assets circulating in the TRON network (TVC) is approximately $11.55 trillion, representing a 40% significant increase compared to $820 billion during the same period last year. Among them, the top three circulating assets in the TRON network are USDT (approximately $78.8 billion), TRX (approximately $25.9 billion), and WBT (approximately $2.66 billion), with BTC and ETH following closely. Additionally, there are assets from TRON ecosystem projects such as WBT, HTX, USDD, BTT, NFT, and TUSD, covering a wide range of fields and collectively building a rich and multi-layered value system, making it more diverse.
Regarding network activity, the gas fee consumption situation provides some insight. In the TRON network, the gas fee mechanism is presented in the form of a combination of energy and bandwidth. Users need to consume gas fees to pay for costs when conducting operations such as transfers and withdrawals.
Official browser data shows that in the past year, energy consumption has surged from over 80 billion to 190 billion, an increase of 240%. This surge in data not only visually displays the explosive growth of network trading activity but also indirectly confirms the strong positive correlation between energy consumption and users' real trading needs. Higher energy demand means more frequent on-chain activities such as transfers and contract calls, highlighting the prosperous state of the TRON network ecosystem and the depth and breadth of user participation.
From the distribution of energy consumption accounts, leading cryptocurrency exchanges such as OKX, Bybit, and Binance occupy the top 10 positions. The high-frequency energy consumption reflects their deep reliance and enormous demand for the TRON network, highlighting TRON's excellent performance in supporting large-scale commercial applications and its strategic position as a key infrastructure for leading exchanges, bridging digital asset trading with Web3 technology.
In terms of ecological development, TRON's ecosystem applications have covered the trading hub SUN.io, the MEME asset issuance platform SunPump, the lending system JustLend DAO launched by the one-stop DeFi solution JUST, the liquidity staking protocol Staked TRX, and the energy rental platform, as well as the stablecoin USDD and other core agreements and products, enriching the DeFi ecological development of TRON and providing users with a rich variety of choices.
As of June 16, the TVL on the TRON chain has exceeded $22 billion, remaining stable at around $20 billion for nearly a year. Among them, the TVL for TRX staking has exceeded $11.8 billion, accounting for the largest share; the TVL for lending JustLend DAO is about $5.5 billion, ranking second; the cross-chain Just Cryptos TVL is $3.3 billion; the trading platform SUN.io TVL is $700 million; and the stablecoin USDD TVL is $458 million. These figures fully demonstrate the prosperity and vitality of the TRON ecosystem, indicating its broad development prospects in the future.
An overview of the mainstream DApps within the TRON ecosystem
1. JUST one-stop DeFi solution
JUST focuses on developing DeFi protocols based on TRON, aiming to provide users with a one-stop financial solution. Its product matrix includes various components such as JustLendDAO, USDD, sTRX, Energy Rental, JustCrypto, and JustStable, providing users with a one-stop diverse financial experience to meet different users' diverse needs in the DeFi field.
JustLendDAO is the first official lending platform on TRON, where users can not only conduct collateralized loans but also deposit idle assets into the platform to earn stable interest, achieving flexible asset appreciation.
USDD is a fully decentralized stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, supporting the over-collateralization minting of various high-quality crypto assets such as TRX and USDT.
sTRX (Stake TRX) is a liquid staking product based on TRON, providing users with higher yield returns while offering more flexible unstaking options, allowing users to enjoy staking returns while flexibly adjusting their asset allocation according to their needs.
Energy Rental is a unique energy leasing platform within the TRON ecosystem, providing energy leasing services for different addresses. Through energy leasing, on-chain trading users do not need to directly consume TRX to exchange resources, similar to using an 'energy coupon', significantly reducing transaction payment costs and improving capital utilization efficiency, making transactions more economical.
JustCrypto is a cross-chain token supported by the JUST ecosystem, allowing cross-chain assets like BTC, ETH, DOGE, and LTC to maintain price stability across different networks, with its cross-chain mechanism provided by quality platforms such as Poloniex and BitTorrent Chain.
2. Lending ecosystem JustLendDAO
JustLend DAO is an efficient and flexible lending service platform based on TRON. Here, users can invest idle funds and easily earn interest; at the same time, they can borrow other crypto assets, cleverly utilizing leverage to amplify investment returns. Both parties in the lending process operate automatically based on smart contracts, with the system automatically setting floating interest rates based on the supply and demand of specific assets on JustLend DAO, ensuring dynamic equilibrium and rationality of assets.
Currently, the lending assets supported by the JustLend platform mainly include TRX, USDT, USDD, SUN, JST, BTC, ETH, TUSD, BTT, etc.
According to DeFiLama data, on June 16, the TVL on the JustLend platform reached approximately $3.4 billion, ranking among the top three in the entire lending track market.
In addition to the lending product JustLend, JustLend DAO also offers Staked TRX staking and Energy Rental services.
Among them, the Staked TRX service provides users with a convenient staking method. Users can easily stake TRX in exchange for sTRX with just one click. The staked TRX will be used for voting governance and energy rental, allowing users to easily earn staking rewards just by holding sTRX. As of June 16, the number of staked TRX on the platform has reached 8.166 billion, with more than 4,600 participating addresses, and the current annualized return is 8.67%.
However, according to on-chain data from TRONScan, as of June 16, the number of TRX holding addresses has exceeded 182 million, with a market value of over $25.6 billion, indicating a very large holding user base. Currently, the staking market penetration rate is only 8.6%, which means there is still significant growth potential for staking participation.
Energy rental, is another thoughtful feature provided by JustLend DAO, supporting users to directly lease energy to offset gas fee consumption, without burning TRX as gas fees. This feature can help users save on on-chain transaction costs. Analysis of data from the TRON chain shows that the number of user holding addresses and transaction frequency are steadily increasing, and the energy rental feature serves the TRON ecosystem users better. As of June 16, JustLendDAO has 37 billion energy available for users to lease, with more than 65,000 addresses having participated in energy leasing, fully reflecting the popularity of the energy rental feature.
In addition, currently users on the JustLend DAO platform can not only earn interest by providing assets but can also receive additional reward income by storing USDD. USDD is a decentralized stablecoin jointly initiated by the sub-DAO of JustLend DAO—GrantsDAO and the TRON DAO Reserve. In January of this year, USDD was upgraded to version 2.0. At the same time, JustLend DAO launched the USDD lending service feature, allowing users to earn income by storing USDD, currently yielding about 6%. As of June 16, the liquidity pool has reached as high as 264 million USDD.
3. Decentralized stablecoin USDD
USDD is a decentralized stablecoin based on TRON. Currently, users can obtain USDD in two ways: first, by over-collateralizing high-quality assets such as TRX, sTRX, and USDT to mint USDD; second, by using the stablecoin exchange tool PSM, directly exchanging USDT for USDD at a 1:1 ratio, with the entire process incurring 0 GAS fees and 0 transaction fees.
According to official data, as of June 16, the total supply of USDD is about 430 million.
Currently, USDD has seamlessly integrated with DeFi platforms such as JustLend DAO and SUN.io, and has established close partnerships with compliant exchanges such as Kraken, HTX, Bybit, Gate.io, and Poloniex. On these platforms, users can stake USDD to earn high returns. This extensive ecosystem connection provides broad space for the circulation and application of USDD, allowing it to better integrate into various aspects of the cryptocurrency market and bring more value and convenience to users.
4. One-stop trading platform SUN.io
SUN.io is a one-stop trading platform based on the TRON public chain, integrating functions such as asset exchange, MEME asset issuance, liquidity mining, and DAO governance, aiming to provide efficient and secure asset trading services for the TRON ecosystem.

From a data perspective, the performance of SUN.io is outstanding. According to DeFiLlama data, as of June 16, the value of crypto assets locked on the SUN.io platform (TVL) exceeds $952 million, ranking among the top three in the TRON network for a long time, and also ranking sixth in the entire DEX track.
At the same time, according to the official browser data from SunScan, the trading activity of SUN.io also shows outstanding performance. In the past 7 days, SunSwap has processed approximately 120,000 transactions, with a trading volume exceeding $770 million. In the past week, the number of active trading addresses on the platform has exceeded 15,000, and the current cumulative number of trading liquidity pools exceeds 25,000, covering a wide asset structure that includes stablecoin assets, mainstream assets, and meme long-tail assets, forming a diverse and inclusive financial ecosystem.
Additionally, the SUN platform token has also shown good development momentum. Its circulating market value is about $341 million, with over 500 million tokens already burned, a clear deflationary path, and a tight linkage between the token model and platform value growth. As the platform continues to grow, the value of the SUN platform token is expected to continue to increase, bringing more profits and returns to users.
5. Fair issuance platform for MEME assets SunPump
SunPump, as a carefully crafted fair issuance platform for MEME assets by Sun.io, quickly gained popularity after its debut in August 2024, relying on the robust technical infrastructure and large user base of TRON, consistently ranking among the top three in the fiercely competitive MEME issuance track.
In its first month of launch, SunPump displayed astonishing explosive power, setting an incredible record of 7,351 meme coins issued in a single day, with daily earnings reaching as high as $560,000, at one point surpassing the industry leader PumpFun.
According to Dune data, as of June 16, the number of tokens created on the SunPump platform has exceeded 98,000, with about 1,850 tokens launched on Sunswap. The cumulative earnings captured since the protocol launched have surpassed $10 million. This series of impressive data undoubtedly serves as a strong testament to the vigorous development of the SunPump platform.
In terms of ecological performance, there are currently 4 MEME tokens with a market value exceeding 10 million USD, such as SUNdog and PePe.
In terms of product functionality, the SunPump platform continues to iterate and upgrade around three core areas: token creation, trading growth, and community interaction. The platform has successively launched a series of new features, including Sunflare (to help users discover potential projects in a timely manner), Ranking System (real-time ranking of tokens based on key indicators such as trading volume and number of holders, providing clear investment references for users), and CEX Listing Apply (project parties can directly submit centralized exchange listing applications through SunPump, expanding channels for project development), greatly enhancing user experience and further expanding the platform's ecological boundaries, making it a more complete and diverse MEME asset issuance and trading ecosystem.
In product innovation, SunPump is also actively pioneering and breaking through. Last year, Sun Agent Launch introduced the intelligent assistant Sun Agent, optimizing AI-driven tools and services to provide creators and traders with a more convenient content generation and management experience. In March of this year, the platform innovatively launched AI Agent @SunGenX, supporting lightweight token creation with the feature of 'tweet to issue tokens'. Users can easily complete the issuance of MEME tokens with just a single tweet, significantly simplifying the token issuance process.
