Halfway through 2024, TRON has opened a new narrative chapter in the past 6 months.

In the first half of the year, the core data on the TRON chain rose across the board. The total number of TRON accounts exceeded 240 million, a half-year increase of 17%. The huge user base has injected continuous vitality into the TRON ecosystem. In addition, the total number of TRON transactions increased to 7.9 billion times, and the total transfer amount exceeded 12 trillion US dollars, further enhancing TRON's status as an industry infrastructure. At the same time, TRON's protocol revenue reached 245 million US dollars, far exceeding Ethereum, and the destruction of TRX exceeded 2 billion pieces. It has been deflationary for 659 consecutive days. TRX has become one of the cryptocurrencies with the highest deflation rate at present. On the other hand, in the first half of the year, although various L2 projects emerged in an endless stream, TRON's total staked volume (TVL) still remained the second largest public chain in the world, and exceeded 25.8 billion US dollars, setting a historical high. The prosperous data reflects TRON's continuous construction and innovation of the ecosystem. In addition to the new season of the TRON Hackathon, on February 25, TRON officially launched the Bitcoin second-layer solution and roadmap, and gradually implemented it through three stages, injecting financial vitality into Bitcoin, demonstrating TRON's responsibility as the industry's leading public chain. At present, TRON has established a strategic partnership with Bitcoin's second-layer network Merlin Chain. Not only that, TRON has also established strong connections with many mainstream technology companies. In the first half of the year, Huawei Cloud Web3 Node Engine Service NES and Amazon Cloud Computing Service (AWS) began to support TRON. On May 14, Google Cloud also joined the TRON blockchain as a super representative candidate. TRON is bringing blockchain technology to the world. On April 16, the theme song "The TRON Anthem" co-created by TRON and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer was officially released. The song is full of fighting spirit, which is also the core of TRON. It is worth mentioning that recently, Singaporean national football goalkeeper Hassan Sanni took up the position of TRON's Chief Security Officer. In addition to cross-border linkage, it also highlights TRON's security protection in the blockchain field. In the future, we will shoulder the mission of building a metaverse financial free port and continue to serve the majority of users.
