TRON 'History' Section Update[edit]

Hello,

Please add the following and accurate information:

"TRON has become a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) since December 2021, with its blockchain protocol operating as a permission-less, open-source network like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Tron Network Ltd. is just one of many companies in the TRON ecosystem and does not represent the entire DAO. Founder Justin Sun has stepped down as CEO from the dissolved Tron Foundation and no longer represents the TRON DAO. The TRON DAO works with regulated crypto exchanges worldwide to ensure compliance with KYC and AML policies, respecting all regulatory frameworks in various countries. As an apolitical organization, TRON is committed to fostering a web3 future built on decentralized technologies and applications."

Thank you and feel free to add suggestions or ask questions if needed. MelfarraTron (talk) 18:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyone that can please review this section. It has relevant context pertaining to TRON and updated information as well. Please let me know if there are any suggestions or changes needed to be made. Thank you! MelfarraTron (talk) 04:09, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This proposal is non-neutral. Wikipedia isn't a platform for public relations. If this blog post is the best source for this information, it's unlikely to belong in the article at all, but especially not in this level of promotional detail. Avoid buzzwords and vague unfalsifiable language. See WP:TONE also.

Update History Section[edit]

Can we please add the following information under the History section of this wikipedia page? It is all verifiable as well.

"The idea for TRON originated with H.E. Justin Sun, who founded the TRON Foundation in mid-2017. TRON was originally an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token. TRON’s MainNet launched its beta in May 2018, and by June 2018, TRON was completely uncoupled from the Ethereum Network, operating as an independent peer-to-peer network and standalone Layer1 blockchain. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users.

The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of June 2023, it has over 165.5 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 5.81 billion total transactions, and over $11.79 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, having overtaken USDT on Ethereum since April 2021."

Absolutely not. Wikipedia isn't a platform for advertising. Summarize reliable sources, which in this case must also be independent sources. Grayfell (talk) 20:13, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed Grayfell (talk), Wikipedia should not be used for advertising. Regards --Devoke water 10:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent foundation date[edit]

The established/founded dates are confusing. The article starts with:

> It was established in March 2014 by Justin Sun

And later in the History section we see:

> TRON was founded by Justin Sun in 2017.

I believe 2017 is the correct date. Roman.kashitsyn (talk) 09:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent architecture section[edit]

The second paragraph states:

> The network has zero transaction fees and conducts approximately 2,000 transactions per second.

First, the linked source page (https://web.archive.org/web/20201124011525/https://developers.tron.network/docs/vm-introduction) doesn't contain any information about fees or transaction rates.

Even worse, the very next sentence claims:

> The implementations of TRON require minimal transaction fees in order to prevent malicious users from performing DDoS attacks for free.

Which contradicts the previous sentence. I suggest removing the first claim about the fees and transaction rates. Roman.kashitsyn (talk) 09:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

apparently they have an anthem or theme song now[edit]
