Roseau, Dominica, October 12, 2022, Chainwire — TRON, one of the leading public blockchains, is partnering with the Commonwealth of Dominica to develop and issue the Dominica Coin (DMC). The partnership represents a crucial step forward by the Eastern Caribbean nation, which passed the Virtual Asset Business Act in Parliament earlier this year.
“This is a historic step for Dominica in its efforts to boost economic growth by embracing digital innovation and naming the TRON protocol as its designated national blockchain infrastructure,” said Prime Minister of Dominica, Dr. Roosevelt Skerrit.
DMC is a blockchain-based fan token intended to raise awareness of Dominica’s natural heritage as well as help promote its tourist attractions on a worldwide scale. The creation marks a milestone in Dominica’s journey towards the future envisioned by their prime minister, one that includes strong infrastructure, a more diversified agricultural footprint and innovative developments to welcome entrepreneurial imagination. Traditionally a tourism haven, their new vision seeks to welcome more than just visitors to their Caribbean region. “The open and cost-effective nature of the TRON blockchain infrastructure will play an important role in better integrating small island developing states like Dominica into the global economy in the future,” affirmed Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
As Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization and Founder of TRON, HE Justin Sun promotes the development of e-commerce and blockchain technology in the Caribbean regions, hoping to increase their engagement in the wider global economy. “The TRON team and I are delighted that Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit trusts TRON to develop the blockchain infrastructure that will empower their participation in the decentralized economic future,” Sun said. “We hope it’s the first of many technology partnerships with sovereign governments to come.”
Championing Dominica’s vision for their future was an exciting commitment for TRON to make. This is the first time a major public blockchain has partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. As one of the major public blockchains with more than 115 million users and 4 billion transactions, TRON’s partnership with Dominica enables a variety of usage scenarios and provides a strong foundation for future success.
