The TRON DAO team recently participated in ETH Denver, a prominent event in the blockchain sector, where they organized the TRON Builder Tour (TBT) ETH Denver event. This event brought together blockchain enthusiasts, developers, and students to celebrate the TRON network and its ecosystem. The event featured insightful sessions, networking opportunities, and culinary delights, attracting nearly 100 participants.

During the event, four TRON DAO team members served as mentors, offering guidance to developers and entrepreneurs across various domains, including technical support, business development, ecosystem expansion, UI/UX design, and beyond. The mentors conducted a Skills Lab session at the ETH Denver BUIDL Hub, focusing on leveraging AI to swiftly develop and deploy smart contracts on BTTC and other EVM networks. This mentoring initiative facilitated closer connections between the TRON DAO and the broader blockchain community, enabling them to gain insights into the ongoing developments in the web3 space.

The event also highlighted HackaTRON Season 6, which commenced on February 20th. This online hackathon offers participants a chance to compete for a total prize pool of up to $650,000 in Energy support and TRX, aiming to inspire developers to create dApps that enhance user experiences on the TRON network and drive innovation in the blockchain space. Interested participants can apply via the official DevPost page. All prizes are awarded in TRX or TRON network Energy, subject to certain restrictions.

The evening concluded with indoor bar networking, providing attendees with an opportunity to forge meaningful connections within the TRON community. Through its active involvement in ETH Denver and the hosting of the TRON Builder Tour event, TRON DAO reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the blockchain industry.

TRON DAO is a community-governed organization dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and dApps. Established in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has achieved remarkable milestones since the launch of its MainNet in May 2018. Notably, in July 2018, the ecosystem welcomed BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services with over 100 million monthly active users. Over the years, the TRON network has witnessed significant growth, boasting more than 205.11 million total user accounts, over 6.96 billion total transactions, and a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $20.43 billion, as reported on TRONSCAN as of January 2023.

Moreover, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin globally, surpassing USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. Following full decentralization in December 2021, TRON is now governed by the community as a DAO. In October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, marking a significant milestone in blockchain adoption as the first major public blockchain to partner with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. Additionally, TRON-based tokens, including TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted legal status as authorized digital currencies and mediums of exchange in Dominica, alongside the government's endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token aimed at promoting Dominica's global visibility.
