About TRON DAO:

TRON DAO is a community-governed organization committed to accelerating internet decentralization through blockchain technology and dApps. Established in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has achieved significant milestones since its MainNet launch in May 2018. With over 233.71 million total user accounts, more than 7.75 billion total transactions, and over $21.82 billion in total value locked (TVL) as of June 2024, the TRON network has garnered substantial traction. Additionally, TRON boasts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin globally, surpassing USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. Following full decentralization in December 2021, TRON transitioned into a community-governed DAO. Notably, in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, marking the first instance of a major public blockchain partnering with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. This partnership led to the issuance of Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token, alongside seven existing TRON-based tokens, including TRX, achieving statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
