Tron is a Delegated Proof of Stake blockchain founded in 2017 by Justin Sun. The development and maintenance of the network are supported by the Tron Foundation based in Singapore and San Francisco. Tron focuses on rewarding content creators directly for their work without the need for a middleman taking a cut. Media viewers on the network can reward creators with Tronix (TRX), Tron’s native token. The Tron blockchain has three distinct layers that make up its architecture: a core layer, storage layer, and application layer. TRX was originally minted on the Ethereum platform but moved to Tron with the mainnet’s launch in 2018. Tron also allows for the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dapps). Users making transactions with the network enjoy incredibly low fees and also several free transactions.
