Founded by a non-profit Singapore-based foundation, the Tron Foundation, the project team initially sought to tackle the global entertainment industry &#8211; currently valued at $1 trillion. However, they&#8217;ve expanded their vision greatly, tackling the entire dapps market.<\/p>\n<p>According to its <a href=\"https:\/\/dn-peiwo-web.qbox.me\/Tron-Whitepaper-1031-V18-EN.pdf\">initial whitepaper<\/a>, \u201cTRON&#8217;s team members are followers of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who are convinced that protocol, from the moment of its invention, is an asset for human beings, rather than a profit-making tool for small groups.\u201d Tim Berners-Lee is the founder of the World Wide Web.<\/p>\n<p>TRON\u2019s open, decentralized platform and distributed storage technology allows creators of digital content to cut out middlemen such as the Apple Store and Google Play Store. Content producers are thus able to obtain funds directly from consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, a lot of user data and traffic is controlled by a few corporations like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. TRON attempts to mitigate this control by placing ownership of the data back into the creator&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<p>In this TRON guide, we&#8217;ll cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#how-does-tron-work\">How Does TRON Work?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#tron-team-progress\">TRON Team &amp; Progress<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#trx-supply\">TRX Supply<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#trading-history\">Trading History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#where-to-buy-trx\">Where to Buy TRX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#where-to-store-trx\">Where to Store TRX<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#additional-tron-resources\">Additional TRON Resources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-tron-work\">How Does TRON Work?<\/h2>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/files.coinmarketcap.com\/static\/widget\/currency.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"coinmarketcap-currency-widget\" data-currencyid=\"1958\" data-base=\"USD\" data-secondary=\"\" data-ticker=\"true\" data-rank=\"true\" data-marketcap=\"true\" data-volume=\"true\" data-stats=\"USD\" data-statsticker=\"false\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>Key features of TRON<\/h3>\n<p>TRON wants to \u201cHeal the Internet\u201d through the following features:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Data liberation: free and uncontrolled data<\/li>\n<li>Enabling content ecosystem where users can obtain digital assets from content spreading<\/li>\n<li>Personal ICO with the ability to distribute digital assets<\/li>\n<li>Infrastructure to allow distributed digital assets exchange (such as games) and market forecasting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is a long-term project with a set of phases that began with <strong>Exodus in 2017<\/strong> and will ultimately lead to <strong>Eternity in 2023<\/strong>.

Its scope includes the implementation of many blockchain technologies that are still technically experimental today including something similar to the entire Ethereum platform. The team is trying to accomplish this over the next 8-10 years.<\/p>\n<h4>Exodus<\/h4>\n<p>Presently, we are occupying the first phase Exodus. Exodus aims to provide simple distributed file sharing built on top of something similar to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ipfs.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">IPFS<\/a>. Therefore TRON is not technically leveraging any blockchain technology in its current platform. However, this is set to change with the advent of the 2nd phase.<\/p>\n<h4>Odyssey<\/h4>\n<p>Odyssey, the next stage, attempts to incentivize early adoption and creation of a proprietary community of content creators and consumers with something akin to a proof of stake model.<\/p>\n<p>The scale of reimbursement for creation is linked to a metric with a related tipping scheme as opposed to simple views or clicks. Views and clicks are not ideal as they can be reproduced en masse by click farms or bots.<\/p>\n<p>Users will ultimately transact (potentially through unidirectional payment channels like <a href=\"https:\/\/raiden.network\/micro.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\u00b5Raiden<\/a>) in TRX. This facilitates the exchange of value for services faster but will require some type of pay in\/out of a TRX account if users don\u2019t initially hold TRX.<\/p>\n<h4>Great Voyage &amp; Apollo<\/h4>\n<p>The 3rd phase (Great Voyage) and 4th phase (Apollo) look to enable content creators to offer a stake in a potential personal brand through \u201cindividual ICO\u2019s\u201d or branded tokens.<\/p>\n<p>For this, TRON will have to develop its own blockchain application platform similar to that of Ethereum with a Turing complete language for smart contracts. However, TRON admits it may face some of the same problems Ethereum, such as network congestion as a result of ICO launches.<\/p>\n<p>A side effect could be that the network will not be able to properly vet\/validate the trustworthiness of each of the vast number of unique tokens. Additionally, Tron\u2019s whitepaper does not give detail to how Sybil attacks or exchange account hacks may be prevented on the network. It only briefly mentions the need for and planned implementation of a decentralized exchange for these tokens as an effort to mitigate some of these potential threats.<\/p>\n<h4>Star Trek<\/h4>\n<p>Star Trek is the fifth stage of TRON and seeks to emulate something similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/augur-beginner-guide\/\">Augur<\/a> with a decentralized forecasting and gaming platform.<\/p>\n<h4>Eternity<\/h4>\n<p>Eternity, the final stage, envisions the ability to fundraise and monetize based on community growth. Ultimately TRON\u2019s core technology will be based largely on the adaptation of IPFS and the Ethereum platform. Much of what TRON is attempting to consolidate is being done by different projects and mutually exclusive entities.<\/p>\n<h3>Economic Gain: TRON 20 Token and TRON Power (TP)<\/h3>\n<p>The Tron 20 Token will hold value and allow individual content owners to make custom tokens on the platform, similar to the cryptocurrency <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsutra.com\/waves-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waves<\/a>. It should be noted that the TRON 20 Token is not the same as Tronix, which is the medium of exchange on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>With the company seeking long-term investment and pushing away those investors looking to make a quick profit, the TRX token themselves will be able to be locked away to gain TP. Doing so will give users upward mobility in the ecosystem with power moves such as voting rights and higher status. The longer your tokens are locked away, the more TP TRON will reward you.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tron-team-progress\">TRON Team &amp; Progress<\/h2>\n<p>The date of ICO for TRX was between August 3, 2017, and August 24, \u00a02017.<\/p>\n<p>CEO and founder of TRON, Justin Sun, is often said to be \u201cthe next Jack Ma\u201d, the founder of Alibaba. Sun holds an extremely impressive resume at just 27:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Graduate of the University of Pennsylvania<\/li>\n<li>2015 Forbes China 30 under 30<\/li>\n<li>2017 Forbes Asia 30 under 30<\/li>\n<li>founder of Peiwo APP (China\u2019s Snapchat)<\/li>\n<li>attendee of Hupan University founded by Jack Ma<\/li>\n<li>former chief representative of Ripple China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aside from Sun, the team includes other key players. CTO Lucien Chen is a former employee of Alibaba with extensive experience working with first-tier internet companies such as Netease, Qihoo 360, and Tencent.<\/p>\n<p>TRON is already well supported by top Chinese developers on its team yet is continually expanding its employee base with members with veteran technical expertise such as Maorong Lin and Xiadong Xie. Together, the two employees bring years of technical development experience in the entertainment industry and internet commerce.<\/p>\n<p>TRON is backed by notable members of the Chinese business community such as Hitters Xu (founder of Nebulas), Tang Binsen (founder of mobile game Clash of Kings), Xue Manzi (famous Chinese angel investor), Chaoyong Wang (founder of China Equity Group with $2 billion market value), Dai Wei (CEO of OFO bike), Huobi.com, and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, TRON is in the process of transferring TRX onto the Peiwo APP. This would give its 10 million users the ability to exchange the token back and forth.<\/p>\n<p>While TRON will support all kinds of virtual currencies, TRX will be the official one. With this,\u00a0 all other currencies will have to be converted through TRX.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"trx-supply\">TRX Supply<\/h2>\n<p>You are not able to mine TRX. At the time of writing, the circulating supply was 65,748,192,475 TRX with a total supply of 100,000,000,000 TRX.<\/p>\n<p>On December 18th, 2017, Sun announced the TRON Foundation has locked up $34.2 billion tokens until January of 2020. Speculators often believe that the lockup of tokens will increase the value of tokens.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"trading-history\">Trading History<\/h2>\n<p>Since its relatively new release in late September of 2017, TRX has experienced sharp price increases. Starting 3 months ago at around .002 cents, at this moment it is roughly .045 on December 19, 2017, a 22.5 fold increase or approximately 2150% increase. Altcoins are currently drawing attention from investors looking to gain access to more affordable currencies, which could explain the sudden price increase.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nbaseUrl = \"https:\/\/widgets.cryptocompare.com\/\";\nvar scripts = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\");\nvar embedder = scripts[ scripts.length - 1 ];\n(function (){\nvar appName = encodeURIComponent(window.location.hostname);\nif(appName==\"\"){appName=\"local\";}\nvar s = document.createElement(\"script\");\ns.type = \"text\/javascript\";\ns.async = true;\nvar theUrl = baseUrl+'serve\/v3\/coin\/chart?fsym=TRX&tsyms=USD,EUR,CNY,GBP';\ns.src = theUrl + ( theUrl.indexOf(\"?\") >= 0 ? \"&\" : \"?\") + \"app=\" + appName;\nembedder.parentNode.appendChild(s);\n})();\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"where-to-buy-trx\">Where to Buy TRX<\/h2>\n<p>You have the ability to trade TRX on exchange sites such as Liqui &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/?ref=11813969\">Binance<\/a> for either ETH or BTC. New users can purchase BTC or ETH coins on <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/bitstamp-exchange-review\/\">Bitstamp<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/coinbase-review\/\">Coinbase<\/a> and deposit it to their respective wallets on <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/binance-review\/\">Binance<\/a>.

There&#8217;s a large number of influential members in the Chinese business community backing the TRON team. TRON also has a strong development team to support these endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>With a clear, long-term vision for TRX and the TRON platform, and with what seems like unlimited funding from investors, it\u2019s not unreasonable for someone to be optimistic about this project. However, this is in no way financial advice.<\/p>\n<p>Please be cautious when considering investing and do research thoroughly.
