$TRX is a type of cryptocurrency on the Tron blockchain platform, launched in 2017 by Justin Sun. The goal of the project is to build a decentralized ecosystem focused on sharing digital content and decentralized applications (dApps). This platform uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, allowing for processing up to 2,000 transactions per second with almost zero fees. The cryptocurrency of Tron acts as fuel for the ecosystem, supporting payments, staking, and interaction with dApps. With over 100 billion tokens issued, the project has attracted attention due to its integration with BitTorrent and partnership with Samsung. However, it also faces controversies regarding its decentralization and allegations of code copying. Currently, TRX is among the top cryptocurrencies globally.
