The 25th of June is the day Tron broke from Ethereum and achieved its \u2018independence\u2019. Over the last year, significant things have happened in and around the Tron community.<\/p>\n
On June 25, 2018, Justin Sun, founder of Tron, announced that Tron had gained \u2018independence\u2019 from Ethereum and this set up Tron to become an independent ecosystem. Since then, Tron has grown quite significantly and has fast become one of the most successful and talked about blockchain ecosystems. Tron is currently ranked 10th among its peers according to CoinMarketCap. This position is a reflection of how much this ecosystem has grown, a system that was ranked 56th just a few months ago. Work has been put in to try and grow the network and its token and this work has paid dividends in the past year.<\/p>\n
One of Tron\u2019s first moves after its breaking away from Ethereum was acquiring BitTorrent. The acquisition of BitTorrent was done in July 2018 and it was the subject of many conversations in the blockchain community. BitTorrent has generated interest from some established blockchain networks such as Neo but these failed to get BitTorrent on board. For Tron to come into the picture and seal the deal despite not being one of the prominent blockchain ecosystems at the time, it was a shocker for many. The BTT token was launched and it has performed quite well on the crypto trading markets<\/a>. Needless to say, Tron\u2019s acquisition of BitTorrent was one of the moves that have propelled the ecosystem forward.<\/p>\n The number of accounts operating on Tron\u2019s ecosystem have grown significantly with many developers making use of Tron\u2019s blockchain. By allowing a variety of DApps, it terms of genres, to be developed and operated on its blockchain, Tron has attracted users from a wide range of industries and ways of life. The range of DApps on the network attracts many different users. To date, Tron has gained hundreds of millions of users on its ecosystem and this reflects just how much Tron has achieved in the year since it gained its autonomy.<\/p>\n Happy #TRONIndependenceDay<\/a> Anniversary. This year marks the 1st step of TRON community autonomous, we witnessed the growth of a more prosperous ecosystem, we've gained hundreds of millions of users, we made all the impossible possible, thx to #TRON<\/a> community. #TRON<\/a> onwards.#TRX<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/s3VtmzqEqC<\/a><\/p>\n — TRON DAO (@trondao) June 25, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
