$TRX TRX, or Tronix, is the native cryptocurrency of the TRON blockchain, founded in 2017 by Justin Sun. Initially launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, it migrated to its own network in 2018. TRON aims to decentralize the web, providing a platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, with a focus on content creators. TRX is used to pay transaction fees, stake for rewards, and interact with the TRON ecosystem. With a notable market capitalization, TRX is traded on many platforms but remains volatile.
