The past year of 2024 has been a year of comprehensive explosion for the TRON public chain ecosystem.
This year, the core data of TRON (波场 TRON) has ushered in a new round of growth. As of now, the total number of TRON accounts has reached 281 million, with an annual growth of 38%; the total number of transactions has reached 9.3 billion, with an annual growth of 34%. In addition, TRON's annual protocol total revenue for 2024 has reached 2.12 billion USD, doubling from 2023, with an increase of over 116%. The increase in on-chain activity has further strengthened the deflation of TRX, with the amount of TRX burned in 2024 exceeding 2.1 billion, setting a new historical high.
This year, TRON's network construction and upgrades have made several important progress, with continuous improvements in network security, availability, and scalability. The upgrades of GreatVoyage-V4.7.4 (Bias) and GreatVoyage-v4.7.5 (Cleobulus) versions have improved network throughput performance and system fault tolerance, further ensuring the transaction performance of the TRON network.
In addition, to meet the growing network demand, the TRON committee has initiated multiple proposals regarding the total energy supply. As of now, the total energy supply of the TRON network has increased to 180 billion.
This year, TRON has made every effort to accelerate globalization and compliance, leading the blockchain industry to popularize itself worldwide. On one hand, TRON has strengthened cooperation with mainstream institutions such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, expanding its global influence while extending its service boundaries; on the other hand, TRX has also been listed on mainstream crypto exchanges in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Africa, reaching more emerging crypto markets, thus fully enhancing TRON's global influence and accessibility.
This year, TRON has actively improved its ecological layout to adapt to the continuously emerging new demands. By releasing a roadmap for Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, joining the Chainlink Scale program, and hosting top-tier hackathon competitions, TRON has created a more integrated and efficient digital asset ecosystem, solidifying its important position in the DeFi field.
As TRON founder Justin Sun stated, the next decade will be a golden period for public chain ecosystems to support real-world scenarios and the rapid development of decentralized applications (DApps). As the fastest-growing public chain globally, TRON is leading the industry into a new era of development. By maintaining construction and innovation, TRON will continue to promote the large-scale adoption of blockchain, allowing more global users to enjoy the conveniences brought by blockchain.
