The past 2024 was the year when the TRON public chain ecosystem exploded.
This year, TRONs core data ushered in a new round of growth. As of now, the total number of TRON accounts has reached 281 million, an annual increase of 38%; the total number of transactions has reached 9.3 billion, an annual increase of 34%. In addition, TRONs annual total protocol revenue in 2024 is as high as 2.12 billion US dollars, doubling from 2023, an increase of more than 116%. The increase in on-chain activity has further strengthened TRXs deflation. In 2024, the destruction of TRX exceeded 2.1 billion, setting a record high.
This year, TRON network construction and upgrades have made several important progress, and network security, availability and scalability have continued to improve. The upgrades of GreatVoyage-V4.7.4 (Bias) and GreatVoyage-v4.7.5 (Cleobulus) have improved network throughput and system fault tolerance, further ensuring the transaction performance of the TRON network.
In addition, in response to the growing demand for the network, the TRON Committee has launched several proposals on the total amount of energy. As of now, the total amount of energy of the TRON network has been increased to 180 billion.
This year, TRON has been accelerating its pace of globalization and compliance, leading the blockchain industry to become more popular around the world. On the one hand, TRON has been expanding its global influence and service boundaries by strengthening its cooperation with mainstream institutions such as Amazon Cloud and Google Cloud; on the other hand, TRX has also been listed on mainstream crypto exchanges in countries and regions such as the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Africa, reaching more emerging crypto markets, and TRONs global influence and accessibility have been comprehensively improved.
This year, TRON actively improved its ecological layout to adapt to emerging new demands. By releasing the Bitcoin Layer 2 solution roadmap, joining the Chainlink Scale program, and hosting top hackathon events, it has created a more integrated and efficient digital asset ecosystem and consolidated TRONs important position in the DeFi field.
As Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, said, the next decade will be a golden period for the public chain ecosystem to support the rapid development of landing scenarios and decentralized applications (DApps). As the fastest growing public chain in the world, TRON is leading the industry into a new era of development. By maintaining construction and innovation, TRON will continue to promote the large-scale adoption of blockchain and allow more users around the world to enjoy the convenience brought by blockchain.
