$TRX was founded in 2017 by the Tron Foundation, spearheaded by Chinese-born Granadian crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun. It’s one of the industry’s most popular decentralized blockchain platforms and one of the largest coins by market capitalization, often ranking in the top ten.

TRX is the blockchain’s native currency, used to pay for transactions, provide voting rights, and incentivize user engagement through staking and other rewards. In other words, TRX is the lifeblood of the Tron ecosystem.
