A breakdown of the Tron (TRX) token and its potential.
History and About
TRON was founded by Justin Sun in 2017, who is also the current CEO of the company. What distinguishes the entrepreneur from his peers, is his youthful age and rich educational background, having obtained a Masters from the University of Pennsylvania.
Apart from Sun, the TRON team features several other key individuals. CTO Lucien Chen was previously employed by Alibaba, bringing with him a wealth of experience after working with top-tier internet firms such as Netease, Qihoo 360, and Tencent.
Tronix (TRX) is the official token of TRON, which aims to be a decentralized entertainment platform for sharing content with the eventual goal of leveraging Blockchain and peer-to-peer (p2p) network technologies. Backed by the non-profit Tron Foundation, the Singapore-based company aims to take on the global entertainment industry β a market with an estimated valuation of $1 trillion.
TRON's headquarters are based in China, a country with a rather strict take on cryptocurrency regulations. So far, the company has not had any issues, and indeed, most of their investments come from wealthy Chinese businessmen (Hitters Hu, Nebulas founder, being one of them). That being said, in a country with an uncertain future regarding crypto, it may be helpful to be wary of this aspect, particularly if the company becomes embroiled in controversy.
How Does it Work?
TRON's primary purpose is to make the internet better and more decentralized. It hopes to achieve this by:
Freeing data, so that is not charged for or controlled by anyone.
Allowing a content ecosystem where individuals can gain access to digital assets by content spreading
A personalized ICO with the capability to distribute digital assets
An Infrastructure which would allow distributed digital assets exchange as well as market forecasting.
The TRON project is one for the long haul and is split into several inspirationally titled phases that commence with Exodus in 2017 and ultimately look to lead to Eternity in 2023. The primary features of each step can be seen below:
Exodus: A free platform for P2P distribution, storage, and content of all types.
Odyssey: Economic incentives put together to support content creation and empowerment
Great Voyage: ICO Capabilities on an individual level.
Apollo: The ability for content producers to provide personal tokens such as the TRON 20 Token.
At this moment, the project is in its first stage: Exodus. Exodus looks to offer simple distributed file sharing built on top of something akin to IPFS. As such, TRON is not utilising any form of blockchain technology in its current form. However, this will be changed when the project moves into the second stage of its program.
TRON as an Investment
TRON, like most Cryptocurrencies, saw a major spike in its price in December last year, and then witnessed a dip at the start of the current year, seeing a recovery in recent months, as can be seen by the chart above.
The coin is available on several major exchanges such as Upbit, Bittrex, and Huobi Pro, with more coming soon. The technical value of the coin is not currently reflected in the actual value of the coin as the project aims to achieve more in the next five years as part of its long-term vision.
Recently the company launched the Tron MainNet as it continues to the next stage of its evolutionary journey:
Tron does not have a native wallet specifically but it can be stored on a wallet of your choice such as MyEtherWallet.
The whitepaper for TRON was published in English, Spanish, and Russian translations in January 2018. The paper outlined its foundational beliefs that the internet is not the free, decentralized territory it once was, and that people should have the right to own and control their own data and to disclose info with freedom and by choice.
The whitepaper was accused of plagiarizing the Filecoin and IFPS whitepapers, which were published far before TRON's. Ethereum founder, Vitalik Buterin mocked the whitepaper's plagiarism on Twitter in early April:
Justin Sun blamed the lack of citations in the document to translation problems which arose due to the fact that the company used volunteer translators. He denies plagiarising or not giving enough attention to said document.
