• Tron continues to experience low uptake of deflation due to low liquidity in decentralized pools, which discourages developers and users from bonding with the network

  • A recent instance is when the Tron Foundation deleted transactions from Tronscan, which has  raised concerns about the network’s interoperability.

  • Participants recommend that Tron partner with THORChain, as this provides the network with the best way to connect with centralized exchange and decentralized liquidity.

Tron, a prominent blockchain platform recognized for its fast transactions, is grappling with challenges in integrating decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Despite its potential, Tron’s DeFi adoption remains limited, raising concerns within its community. The network, which relies heavily on centralized swaps, has faced difficulties attracting classic DeFi protocols, leading to questions about its functionality and future in the DeFi space.

Recently, a user on X named PaperImperium voiced concerns about the absence of DeFi protocols on Tron, highlighting the complexities of bridging the network. The platform’s reliance on centralized exchanges for liquidity has deterred DeFi developers, who prefer more decentralized and secure environments. Tron’s modified Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) also presents challenges, making it less appealing to developers accustomed to standard EVM frameworks.

Another concern community members have expressed is the need to bridge the liquidity on Tron. Some commenters observed that markets like Allbridge's could enable swaps of IOU for Tron's USDT, but getting deep into and beyond $1 million is still tricky. That is why Tron currently bears increased traffic from centralized exchange (CEX) users rather than DeFi users in decentralized pools

 Trust Issues and Proposed Solutions

Other challenges affecting Tron’s DeFi include low trust levels and safety considerations. As mentioned by the commenter Deelab, the Tron Foundation has pulled transactions from Tronscan, and thus, DeFi cannot survive on the network now. Such actions have triggered criticism regarding the network’s openness and the role the network can play in developing a genuinely decentralized system.Nevertheless, some people in this community continue to have high expectations regarding Tron. There has been a suggestion to connect Tron with other DeFi realms through integration with other systems, such as THORChain. This could assist in connecting Tron to decentralized liquidity and, in fact, create a way forward for it.
