Tron is a blockchain ecosystem created by Justin Sun, as the foundation for a decentralized free content entertainment ecosystem. It was initially issued in 2017 as an ERC-20 token on top of Ethereum while in 2018 changed its protocol and launched the TRON public chain, the core of its ecosystem with the native coin TRX. Since its launch, TRON has become a widely used programmable blockchain for decentralized applications.

Its core layer uses the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) consensus which functions by an election system for choosing nodes that verify blocks and is considered faster than PoS and PoW with a maximum 2000 TPS throughput. Additionally, the TRON network facilitates the development of smart contracts by choosing Solidity as the first smart contract language due to its ability for creating and maintaining decentralized applications (dApps) in a simple and efficient manner.

TRON is an environment that enables the distribution and subscription of the content and forms a decentralized entertainment system by letting the users release and share cost-effective digital content. Also, it allows creators to connect with their customers directly, freely publish, own and store content, receiving all the payments without the intervention of a middleman or a company that deducts its profit share.

TRON has its own TRON Virtual Machine (TVM), which provides a convenient, scalable, and stable custom-built blockchain system to developers globally. TVM comes with a lightweight architecture that reduces the consumption of resources, hence gives better system performance.
