TRON DAO Team Leaves Consensus 2023 With High Crypto Expectations – Cryptopolitan
Geneva, Switzerland, 2 May 2023, Chainwire
The TRON DAO team was in full force at Consensus 2023 in Austin, TX from April 26-28, 2023. TRON was a “5 Blocks” sponsor this year, providing the highest level of support. The quote, “I like to say I live in Austin, Texas because I can live wherever I want,” is attributed to movie star Matthew McConaughey. For one week, the capital of Texas, the self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World” became the “Crypto Capital of the World.”
What is Consensus?
“Consensus is the world’s largest, longest-running and most influential gathering bringing together all sides of the cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 community,” the site declares. Since 2015, the conference has strengthened “calibration, collaboration and resolution for thousands of professionals and builders from around the world who are forging the future of finance and the new digital economy.”
There were four “interest” tracks this year. “TradFi and DeFi” included sessions charting the future of finance and investing. “Builders” included deep dives into development and building in crypto, blockchain and Web3. “Policy” explored the future of crypto policy and regulation with industry and government leaders. “Web3” focused on all ownership economics, including NFTs, the metaverse, branding, DAOs and more. Three summits also took place during C23: Money Reimagined, Crypto Policy and Web3 Brands and Creators.
TRON Whale Night
The TRON DAO team kicked off the week with a smashing TRON Whale Night on April 25, 2023. All the major TRON partners and TRON whales who arrived the day before C23 partied with other crypto leaders at an indoor-outdoor roof-top venue. “Keep Austin Weird” is an iconic statement about the city immortalized on local t-shirts and murals. TRON Whale Night was both weird and wonderful in a way only possible in Austin, full of delicious drinks, amazing food and great company. Conversations abounded about TRON’s historic 2022, the innovations and partnerships announced in the first quarter of 2023, and the fruitful prizes randomly distributed throughout the night, including a number of TRON-branded Ledger and Tron backpacks.
Highlights from the week in Austin, TX
When TRON executives attended C23, they welcomed visitors to the most electrifying booth at the conference. Large screens displayed data and figures about the people and power of the TRON ecosystem. TRON Bulls roamed around and even danced around in TRON Bull onesies. The prize wheel was always waiting with a long line full of excited current and future Tronics. TRON DAO team members connected with people, engaged with developers, collaborated with innovators, strategized with current partners and answered questions for those who were curious about using as well as developing on TRON.
TRON DAO leaders shared highlights from the week, which included:
- Heard use cases for TRON from other countries from people expressing thanks for giving people and businesses a way to engage in commerce
- Making connections at TRON Whale Night which later helped make connections during the week.
- Running into a TRON community member at the booth who got a t-shirt and backpack, then showed up in all his TRON gear later that night
- Chat with all the intelligent people behind the innovative companies that create everyday benefits with blockchain technology
- Meet developers who are already building on TRON together with a HackaTRON winner from a couple of seasons ago
- Imagine all the future use cases that come out with high value on interoperability across blockchains
- Learn about the current state of protocols from the visionaries at the forefront and pitch new ideas for protocol advancement
- Wearing the TRON Bull onesie and talking to so many people
“TRON is the friendliest blockchain,” said one crypto executive who kept meeting with TRON representatives at side events, commenting on how the team works together to meet the needs of users and partners. Coming out of C23, the TRON DAO team made some high-value connections and left with some high expectations regarding the significant opportunities ahead.
About TRON DAO
TRON DAO is a community-run DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.
Founded in September 2017 by HE Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive performance since its MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services with over 100 million monthly active users . The TRON network has gained an incredibly good hold in recent years. As of the end of April 2023, it has over 157.1 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 5.45 billion total transactions and over $12 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN.
In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoins worldwide, surpassing USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. As recently as October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, marking the first time a major public blockchain has partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s approval to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, has received statutory status as an authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
