About TRON DAO
TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain
technology and dApps.
Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since
MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized
Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent
years. As of February 2024, it has over 211.47 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 7.13 billion
total transactions, and over USD21.62 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN.
In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking
USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a
community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the
Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to
develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government's endorsement to issue Dominica Coin ("DMC"),
a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica's global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens - TRX, BTT,
NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in
the country.

with the public chains of Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. Fully compatible with EVM, BitTorrent Chain facilitates the
seamless transfer of assets across mainstream public chains. The governance token BTT, also known as BTTOLD on TRON
Protocol was granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the Commonwealth of
Dominica on October 7th 2022.
