The TRON cryptocurrency is a very ambitious project that is very dedicated towards establishing a truly decentralized internet and online infrastructure. The main goal is to remove any need for a middle man in the entertainment-based businesses and bring the users directly to the content creators.
With the use of the TRON protocol, they can deliver content directly to the audience and get paid for it. This is the vision of Tron, a vision of a streamlined entertainment industry with the help of decentralized blockchain technology.
The total maximum supply of the native TRX coin is 100 billion. Yes, billions. Currently there are roughly 66 billion Tron coins in circulation, out of which, about 33 billion are frozen until 1st January 2021. The maximum supply is expected to be hit within 2 years.
The TRON cryptocurrency and project in general faced a lot of criticism for plagiarism in early 2018 because in their whitepaper an open source code from Filecoin and iFPS with no citation was featured. CEO Justin Sun has responded to that allegation that it was just a mistake made by volunteer translations.
The TRON blockchain is a decentralized peer-to-peer network using the Delegated Proof of Stake consensus protocol with Elected Super Representative (SR) that takes on important roles like block generation and transaction packing. They get rewarded with TRX for each block.
