TRON Academy celebrates milestones such as Blockchain Club’s Research for Innovation
Geneva, Switzerland, April 4, 2023, Chainwire
TRON Academy, the initiative focused on equipping the next generation of blockchain leaders and developers from the world’s most prestigious learning environments and universities, recently celebrated two milestones.
First, a former winner of the TRON Grand Hackathon “Hacker House” began participation in an elite startup accelerator. “Hacker House” is a personal version of “HackaTRON”, created exclusively for university students who build blockchain applications. The participation of a former Hacker House winner in an elite mentoring program was a first for TRON Academy. Acceptance comes with coaching and networking as well as further guidance to maximize the development effort for the start-up project. Stay tuned for more information on who the previous winner is and what their minimum viable product will be. Rumor has it that an announcement could come in the coming months.
Second, TRON management assisted in the launch of the first ever “Intro to Blockchain and NFTs” course at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. President Dr. L. Gregory Jones, former dean of Duke Divinity School, is committed to developing diverse leaders of purpose, character, wisdom and an entrepreneurial mindset interested in developing innovative solutions to complex problems. Known and respected for its music school, music business program, and music production, as well as singer/songwriter preparation, Belmont also has renowned programs in nursing, law, neuroscience, education, business, design, marketing, and more.

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 March 2023, it has over 150.5 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 5.2 billion total transactions and over $11.9 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.
