TRON: From Justin Sun's decentralized vision to the blockchain giant that no one expected
When Justin Sun founded TRON in September 2017, no one imagined that this blockchain would end up surpassing Ethereum in a crucial aspect: stablecoin reserves. In April 2021, TRON surpassed Ethereum in USDT volume, becoming the largest reservoir of stablecoins in the world. How did it get here?
The master strategy: BitTorrent was the game-changer
The smartest move by TRON was not the code, but the acquisition of BitTorrent in 2018. Suddenly, an unknown blockchain gained access to nearly 100 million monthly active users. That was the turning point. TRON stopped being just another project and became an ecosystem with real traction.
Why TRON Continues to Gain Ground
Speed and cost: Transactions cost $0.000005. Yes, you read that right. Bitcoin and Ethereum are asking for pennies in comparison. Transfers are instant. For DeFi and frequent payments, TRON has no competition in efficiency.
DPoS: Crypto Democracy: Unlike Proof of Work (PoW), TRON uses Delegated Proof of Stake. Holders vote for Super Representatives who validate blocks. In 2021, TRON became a DAO, returning power to the community. It's not just blockchain, it's true decentralized governance.
The TRC-20 standard: TRON allows the creation of tokens just as Ethereum allows ERC-20. But without the absurd gas costs. Result: hundreds of DeFi projects have flourished here. BTT (BitTorrent Token), USDC, USDT… the ecosystem is alive.
How TRON Conquered DeFi
The narrative has changed. It's no longer “TRON vs Ethereum”. It's “Why pay $100 in gas on Ethereum if TRON does the same for $0.00001?” Traders arbitraging between DEX, creators monetizing content without intermediaries, stakers accumulating passive rewards… everything here costs almost nothing.
The reality: It's not perfect, but it works
Critics say that TRON is more centralized than Ethereum. They may have a point. But for millions of users in emerging markets who cannot afford Ethereum fees, TRON is the gateway to DeFi. And that matters.

The data that nobody mentions
TRON processes more volume than Ethereum on some days. Total transactions exceed 4 billion. It's not hype, it's pure blockchain metric. See the on-chain data: TRON dominates in pure efficiency.
The question is no longer whether TRON will survive. It is how Bitcoin and Ethereum adapt to a world where a faster and cheaper blockchain captures 30% of global DeFi activity.
