On May 31, TRON officially ushered in the sixth anniversary of the launch of its mainnet. In the past six years, TRON has continued to build and innovate, building a strong global community and a prosperous on-chain ecosystem, and has become a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governed by the community.
As of now, the total number of TRON accounts has exceeded 233 million, the total number of transactions has exceeded 7.73 billion, the total locked value (TVL) has reached US$21.8 billion, and the total market value of on-chain stablecoins has exceeded US$59.8 billion, making it the world's second largest public chain after Ethereum.
Over the past six years, TRON has maintained rapid growth in the number of network users and the scale of stablecoins, and has built a stablecoin system consisting of USDT, TUSD, USDD, USDC, USDJ, TCNH, and CNHT. Among them, the TRON version of USDT occupies a dominant position in the industry and has become the first choice for tens of millions of stablecoin users. The circulation volume is as high as 58.8 billion, and the circulation volume accounts for more than 52% of the total supply of USDT on the entire network. Previously, TRON founder Justin Sun said that the goal of exceeding the issuance volume of 100 billion US dollars is about to be achieved.
As an important payment network and blockchain infrastructure, TRON is gradually integrating into people's daily lives, providing support for developers, institutions and individuals from different regions. Especially in emerging markets, TRON has a strong dominant position and has even become a payment method in daily life. Many merchants and ATMs support the TRON version of USDT. Globally, TRON also continues to promote compliance and internationalization. In October 2022, TRON was officially designated by Dominica as its national blockchain infrastructure, becoming the first large public chain to reach a cooperation with a sovereign state to develop blockchain infrastructure.
TRON actively participates in supporting industry innovation, continuously explores cooperation with mainstream institutions, and strives to build a decentralized ecosystem that can benefit 8 billion users worldwide. In his keynote speech "Web3 New Era: Innovative Cooperation Promotes New Development", Justin Sun said that Web3 is not only a technological innovation, but also a new way of cooperation and symbiosis.
Over the past year, infrastructure services from major mainstream companies such as Google, Huawei, and Amazon have successively supported the TRON network. These supports have further lowered the entry threshold of the TRON network, providing developers and users with more convenient and secure blockchain solutions, allowing TRON to better serve global users. Relying on the advantages of secure and efficient underlying blockchain, TRON has attracted many developers around the world to develop based on the TRON network, and has established a complete ecosystem around major industry tracks such as NFT, DeFi, GameFi, stablecoins, metaverse, cross-chain, and DID.
At the same time, TRON is always moving forward, constantly exploring and promoting new technological applications, continuing to lead the cutting-edge development of blockchain technology, fully embracing artificial intelligence, and actively promoting the integration of blockchain and AI technology. Previously, TRON established a $100 million artificial intelligence development fund and established deep cooperation with a number of AI institutions. This year, it has pioneered the launch of a Bitcoin second-layer solution and roadmap. These initiatives demonstrate TRON's determination in technological innovation and promoting large-scale adoption of blockchain.
In the future, TRON will make every effort to build a Metaverse Financial Free Port, create a more open, inclusive and decentralized digital world, and accelerate its move towards the vast sea of Web3.
