The TRX currency, or Tron, is a digital currency that operates on the decentralized Tron network. Tron aims to build a free decentralized internet and seeks to empower creators to publish their content directly to users. The network relies on a delegated proof-of-stake mechanism, allowing for fast transactions and relatively low fees.

TRX is primarily used to pay transaction fees and interact with decentralized applications built on the Tron network. The currency has experienced significant price fluctuations like other digital currencies and is considered among the digital currencies with a large market capitalization. Some see it as having a promising future in the field of digital entertainment and decentralized content.
