About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to decentralizing the internet through blockchain and dApp technology.
Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to make impressive strides since its MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services that boasts over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of October 2024, the network has over 265 million user accounts on the blockchain, over 8.7 billion transactions, and over $16 billion in total value locked (TVL), according to a report on TRONSCAN.
Additionally, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of the USD stablecoin Tether (USDT) globally, surpassing USDT on Ethereum as of April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, marking the first time a major public blockchain has partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. In addition to the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help boost Dominica’s global exposure, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted regulatory status as authorized digital currencies and mediums of exchange in the country.
