๐ Great news for TRON developers! Luganodes has opened up its RPC infrastructure. Luganodes, an established TRON Super Representative, is making the highly reliable nodes it has provided to institutional investors available to developers too. Connect to TRON (plus ETH/BTC) with a single API key, with clear, per-method CU-based pricing. You also get 100M CU free in your first month, so you can start building right away in a production-ready environment. You can now build apps on TRON more smoothly while reducing the costs and operational burden of running your own nodes. For TRON, which has a world-leading track record in stablecoin payments, expanding infrastructure for developers will be a major boost to ecosystem growth. If you're looking to build something on TRON, be sure to check it out. This is a welcome development that will definitely lower the barriers to building!
TRON is making an overwhelming impact in Allium Labsโ Q3 2026 โStablecoin & Payments Report.โ According to the report, stablecoin payment volume grew 45% year over year to approximately $482 billion from January through September 2026. Meanwhile, supply remained nearly flat (+0.4%), signaling that stablecoins are entering a phase where they are actually being โused.โ TRON processed about two-thirds of that payment value, with USDT accounting for 84%. As Sam Reynolds, Head of Research at TRON DAO, noted, โNetworks with abundant stablecoin liquidity and established distribution infrastructureโ are well positioned for future adoption. TRON has in fact recorded: โข The worldโs largest circulating supply of USDT (over approximately $94 billion) โข $2.21 trillion in stablecoin payment volume in Q3 alone โข More than $30 trillion in cumulative transaction volume โข Over 400 million total accounts As a low-cost, fast, and highly liquid infrastructure, TRON is proving especially useful for P2P transfers and cross-border payments in emerging markets. With payments surging even as supply remains flat, TRON is strengthening its position as the foundation for โdollars in motion.โ As AI agent payments and card payments expand, TRONโwith its existing liquidity and distribution networkโwill be the most natural destination. Stablecoins are moving from being โheldโ to being โused.โ TRON is at the center of that shift.
It was truly amazing to see TRON shine as the title sponsor of TOKEN2049 Singapore! ๐ธ๐ฌ I was excited to see Justin Sun share deep insights during a fireside chat on stablecoins, institutional adoption, AI-powered commerce, and the future of blockchain infrastructure, while emphasizing the importance of connecting with the community. TRON had a strong presence at the event, with lively USDD promotions at the booth and plenty of engagement with attendees. It was clear that TRON is steadily moving forward as an industry leader. As stablecoin utility and institutional adoption continue to accelerate, Iโm looking forward to seeing TRONโs infrastructure expand even further. Iโm genuinely excited to see what comes next!
Crypto payment infrastructure is entering an even more advanced phase๐! With TRON integrating with Polygonโs โOpen Money Stack (OMS),โ global stablecoin transfers are becoming more seamless than ever. What stands out is the sheer scale. The two chains have processed a cumulative $31.9 trillion in stablecoin transactions to date. In September alone, they set a new record of $828 billion๐ The significance of bringing together these two giants, each with distinct strengthsโTRON with USDT (98.5%) and Polygon with USDC (74.3%)โis enormous. This collaboration will enable businesses to use stablecoins as an integrated payment infrastructure without having to manage multiple networks individually. Going beyond a technical connection between blockchains, it streamlines access for fintech companies and traditional financial systems, which should rapidly accelerate the adoption of Web3 payments in the real world. A future that transforms everyday international transfers and B2B payments is just around the corner๐
Seeing justinsuntron on the Cboe stage for the Canary Staked TRX ETF ( $TRXS ) bell-ringing ceremony is a powerful testament to his relentless vision.
Over the years, Justin has proven himself to be one of the most persistent and execution-driven leaders in Web3. While many doubted TRONโs path, he has bridged the gap between decentralized rails and traditional institutional finance in a tangible way.
Bringing staking rewards to mainstream U.S. markets via $TRXS not only legitimizes TRONโs real-world utility, but solidifies Justin's legacy as a true innovator who delivers. Bullish on TRONโs future. ๐๐
๐ Huge congratulations to @trondao on this incredible milestone! ๐ Reaching this level of adoption and volume is a true testament to the network's unmatched speed, efficiency, and the relentless builders behind the scenes. TRON continues to set the gold standard for global Web3 infrastructure and real-world utility. But this is just the beginning. Let's keep pushing the boundaries together! The future of decentralized finance is being built right here on #TRON. ๐๐ช
A game-changer for the math world: The "Justin Sun Prize" has launched! ๐งฎโจ โProved, then paid.โ No academic endorsements or age limits.

Why this matters ๐งต๐ Historically, formalizing proofs (e.g., in Lean) has been crucial but uncompensated behind-the-scenes work. By guaranteeing a 30% reward for Formalizers, this prize assigns true economic value to these unsung heroes. This is a brilliant mechanism using Web3 incentives to accelerate the math community and academic research๏ผ
On CoinsBeeโs chain-based checkout, TRONโs USDT is boldly #1 ๐ In the past 90 days, the number of transactions is about 1.8ร Bitcoin and about 1.9ร Ethereum. Total payment share also grew from 9.92% in 2025 to 16.23% in 2026. Among USDT payments, it accounts for 44.6% by transaction count but 64.5% by transaction volume. In other words, what matters most is: โItโs widely used, and each time the amount is also bigโโผ๏ธ
The businesses using it arenโt just a theoryโAmazon, Apple, Walmart, Uber, PlayStation, telecom, and food delivery. Stablecoins have already become part of everyday shopping. Low fees, fast settlement, and no price fluctuationโso itโs chosen. TRONโs strength is starting to show not only in exchanges, but in real-life payment use. From Sep 21 to Oct 5, get 2% off with the CoinsBee app only. Code: USDT-TRC Just choose USDT on TRON. As real demand grows, the network gets stronger and attracts even more future usage.
You can now directly enter TRONโs main dApps from MetaMask! Swap on SUN.io Lend/Borrow on JustLend AI agents with B.AI All the way to cross-chain with BitTorrent The wall of โIf you want to use TRON, you need to prepare TronLink separatelyโ has basically disappearedโwith MetaMask staying the same. This is honestly quietly *really* smart. It doesnโt force users into new habits. You can access the fast, cheap TRON ecosystem with top-tier USDT circulation using the wallet that already millionsโhundreds of millionsโuse. Thatโs what mass adoption looks like. With JustLendโs huge pools and SUNโs DEX, this instantly widens the entry points. If more supported dApps come in the future, liquidity and real-world usefulness could accelerate even further. And ETFs are coming too. In 2026, TRON is increasingly showing up as a โchain that gets used.โ Just pure excitement ๐

There have been important developments in the Justin Sun ร WLFI lawsuit.
In this case, Justinโs personal claims will continue not in a private arbitration, but in a public court. Meanwhile, it will be clarified going forward whether the claims related to the company will be handled by the courts or through arbitration.
What matters here is that this is not a story about โJustin Sun winning the entire lawsuit.โ A final judgment has not yet been issued.
So why is Open Court important?
The world of crypto has long carried the mantra โDonโt trust, verify.โ Being a large investor who put in about $45 million is one thing, but controlling a project is another.
Justin claims that the WLFI Token has Freeze / Restrict / Burn features and that they were used against his tokens. On the other hand, WLFI denies and disputes this.
What Iโm particularly interested in is one point: โWho is able to freeze and burn tokens?โ
Itโs not inherently bad that administrator privileges exist in DeFi or stablecoins. The real issue is who holds those privileges, under what conditions they can be exercised, and how much is disclosed in advance.
This isnโt just a problem with WLFIโI think itโs a theme thatโs been posed to the entire crypto ecosystem.
Not just โTrust,โ but โTransparency.โ
Can investor protection and transparency truly coexist?
This lawsuit may become an important case for thinking through that question.
*This matter is ongoing, and as of now the final outcome has not been determined.
TRON is trying to close the gap with Ethereum even further.
On August 25, TRON is scheduled to hold on-chain voting for network parameters โ#95โ and โ#96โ in preparation for the next TVM upgrade.
In this โGreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho),โ TRON incorporates features from the Ethereum Prague/Osaka family to further strengthen TVM compatibility.
Of particular interest is support for the CLZ instruction and signature verification for secp256r1 (P-256).
P-256 is a cryptographic technology already widely used in the real world, such as Apple, Android, and WebAuthn. The significance of making it easier to handle on the smart contract side is substantial.
After verification on the Nile Testnet, itโs finally time for the Mainnet.
This doesnโt feel like just a โfeature addition.โ Rather, it seems like an update that moves TRON from being a โchain that processes huge amounts of USDTโ toward a โpractical financial foundation that can connect with existing Web, finance, and authentication infrastructure.โ
Of course, an upgrade doesnโt necessarily mean a TRX price increase. Whether expectations come first, how the market environment plays out, and whether real developer and user adoption follow are separate questions.
Still, itโs interesting to see TRON steadily building Ethereum compatibility and real-world usefulness like this.
Personally, I think TRONโs real strength lies not in flashy headlines, but in this kind of โhard-to-see infrastructure strengthening.โ
The August 25 vote is definitely something to watch.๐
TRONโs Q2 performance is showing an astonishing momentum. ๐ Q2 Key Data ใปQuarterly Tx count: 1.08 billion (quarterly high) ใปAverage Tx per day: 11.8 million / Active addresses: 3.6 million ใปRecorded a daily peak of 14.6 million on 6/15 ใปQ2 USDT transfer processing volume: approximately $2.1 trillion (โป $21 trillion is a typo)
Not only is it serving as a simple stablecoin payment settlement networkโrapid strengthening of the entire ecosystemโs foundation is underway. ๐ฆ Institutional investors & the full-scale entry of RWA Through Securitize, a tokenized credit fund (HLSCOPE) from U.S. Hamilton Lane has appeared on TRON. Expansion of compliant access via OKX Europe and Binance US is also progressing.
๐ Next-generation security On the testnet, TRON has adopted a quantum-resistant signature scheme (Falcon-512 / ML-DSA-44), taking the lead against future quantum threats.
๐ก Outlook & impressions Built on its overwhelming liquidity as a โpractical infrastructureโ for person-to-person transfers, itโs especially interesting how TRON is evolving into RWA (tokenization of real-world assets) and infrastructure for financial institutions. By securing a share of everyday settlement demandโespecially in emerging countriesโand setting up a destination for institutional capital, TRONโs position as a blockchain payment settlement foundation seems likely to become even more solid.

๐ TRON ร Quantum Security! Evolving toward the next-generation Web3 infrastructure โก๏ธ
With the era of quantum computers in mind, TRON has taken a major step forward first! Currently, verification using NIST-standard post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-44 / FN-DSA-512) is underway on the Nile Testnet ๐โจ The key point is that they are not only testing transaction signatures, but also verifying the entire networkโs quantum resistanceโfrom block generation to communication between nodes ๐ก
As Justin Sunโs wordsโโQuantum security should become a standard featureโโmake clear, the evaluation criteria for blockchain are shifting from โspeed and feesโ to โlong-term security.โ
Itโs truly impressive how theyโre preparing and strengthening the infrastructure โnow,โ before the risks become real. In a future where quantum resistance becomes a must-have for Web3, itโs a big point of interest to see whether TRON will become a force that establishes industry standard benchmarks (a de facto standard) ๐
๐ใTRON Takes the Lead!ใ๐ A โquantum-resistantโ mainnet is set to be introduced as the first among major blockchains๐ โQuantum security shouldnโt be something to debateโit should be a standard feature.โ TRON will fully protect usersโ assets from threats posed by future quantum computers
โจ Officially announced the โPost-Quantum Upgrade Initiativeโ โจ Remarkable speed: While Bitcoin is still discussing countermeasures and Ethereum is in the research phase, TRON has already entered the implementation stage for practical deployment Adopting NIST standards: Introducing robust post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) digital signature schemes defined by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology into the mainnet Latest progress: By July 2026, implementation is already complete on the testnet, andโif all goes wellโit is expected to roll out to the mainnet in the third quarter
Thatโs especially crucial for TRON, where stablecoins worth around $80 billion are constantly in circulationโthis update helps prevent the risk of asset loss before it happens
TRONโs speed and execution are truly impressive. While the threat of cryptography being cracked by quantum computers is still said to be a bit further off, considering the risk of โintercepting data now and decrypting it later,โ early countermeasures ahead of the industry make perfect sense.
The biggest focus for the future is the technical hurdles. Because quantum-resistant signature schemes result in extremely larger data sizes than conventional methods (10 to 121 times), the challenge will be how to implement them without sacrificing TRONโs greatest strengthโโfast and low-cost transactions.โ
However, since the TRON network serves as the issuance backbone for massive amounts of USDT, if this upgrade succeeds, the reliability as a payments and DeFi infrastructure will be unmatched.
