Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, predicted this morning that TRON will be the first blockchain to reach 1 billion addresses. This is a bold statement, and as an on-chain analyst, my role is to support (or debunk) this claim with data. Let's dive into the numbers to answer the question:
"Will TRON indeed be the first blockchain to reach 1 billion unique addresses?"
#### Current State of TRON
As of now, the TRON Blockchain has approximately 240 million unique addresses. Its current growth rate over the past 30 days is 7 million addresses. Although this is impressive, it is still a considerable distance from reaching 1 billion unique addresses.
#### Comparing Other Blockchains
To put this into perspective, let's see how other blockchains are performing:
- Bitcoin: The leading blockchain, with 1.3 billion unique addresses, has already surpassed the 1 billion mark.
- Litecoin: Following Bitcoin, Litecoin has 293 million unique addresses.
- TRON: As mentioned, TRON stands at 240 million unique addresses.
- Ethereum: Ethereum is slightly behind TRON, with 215 million addresses.
### Conclusion
Based on current data, TRON will not be the first blockchain to reach 1 billion addresses. However, among altcoins, TRON has a strong chance of being the first to achieve this milestone.
