TRON dApp Users Surge by 239% in the Last Month

February 8, 2019 by Ali Raza

According to recent charts tracking the dApp performance and their daily active users (DAU), TRON dApps have seen a massive increase in the number of users within the last month. On January 8th, TRON dApps had around 18,500 active users — a number which has skyrocketed to 62,724 as of February 8th.

Within a single month, TRON dApp DAU number surged by 239%, while Ethereum lost around 31% of its DAU or 4,275 users. Another big competitor in the dApp sector, EOS, has also seen growth in its DAU, although a much smaller one of only 14% (9,534 users).

Why did TRON’s DAU number grow?

TRON has been one of the most popular projects in 2018. However, it recently started attracting even more attention due to several events.

The first one is the launch of the BitTorrent token (BTT), which happened on January 28th, 2019. The token sale was held on Binance Launchpad, a platform dedicated to increasing exposure of promising projects. BTT is a part of TRON’s ecosystem, and the event has been very beneficial for TRX as well.

Another reason why TRON has seen more activity recently is also connected to BTT, and it includes a series of airdrops that will gift BTT to TRX holders. The airdrops are expected to happen on occasion throughout the next six years.

Charts from @dapp_review show that #TRON DApps daily active users (DAU) have skyrocketed from 18,500 on Jan 8 to 62,724 on Feb 6 📈

Furthermore, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, decided to support TRON and BitTorrent, which brought additional attention to both projects, as well as to TRON’s entire ecosystem. So much so, in fact, that TRX managed to double its value within only 30 days, starting from December 17th, 2018. During this period, TRX price grew from $0.0127 to $0.025, with the coin’s current price being at $0.026498, according to TradingView.

Also, TRON’s dApps have been relatively popular in the crypto community ever since they appeared on its platform, most of which are gambling and gaming-oriented. As a result, the TRON ecosystem has become one of the fastest-growing ones in the crypto space, and the recent reports regarding its DAU numbers confirm it.

The Tron (TRX) Accelerator is here now!

December 4, 2018 by Ali Qamar

The Tron Accelerator initiative is live now and waiting for applications.

It’s a project supported by Tron, aimed at empowering developers and bring about innovation in the blockchain industry, more specifically, using Tron’s third generation blockchain technology.

Since last December 1st, developers are invited to send their decentralized application scheme, built upon Tron’s main net, and participate in one of the most exciting hackathons ever hosted.

There are a million dollars in the line in total ($200,000 for the first prize). There will also be eight special prices in 8 categories:

— Excellent Blockchain Game
— Excellent Application Tool
— Excellent Decentralized Exchange
— Excellent UI Design
— Excellent Innovation
— Excellent User Experience
— Most Influential DApp
— Most Onchain Activity DApp

Fifty-six projects will be rewarded in total, with significant prices. The deadline to submit a project closes next year, on January 4th, and judging will begin the next day.

🚨 #TRONAccelerator is live! Submit your #DApp project before January 4th, 2019 and enter our $1,000,000 competition. More info here https://t.co/vfp0dbka1H pic.twitter.com/kCk77LN52o

Who will be the judges? Several personalities in the cryptosphere Starting with Justin Sun, who needs no introduction as Tron’s Founder and CEO. But just for the sake of completeness, Mr. Sun was Ripple’s Chief Representative and Advisor and founded Peiwo in 2013 which has become China’s most used messaging mobile phone app. He studied under Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, at Hupan University as well as the University of Pennsylvania.

Then there’s Mr. Cong Lee, the US Head of Tron Protocol,  who worked at Google for a decade as a leader for backend projects, data pipelines, frontend, and other projects. He then moved to Airbnb to build the company’s third generation financial data process starting from scratch.

There’s also Vincent Niu. Mr. Niu is DappReview’s founder, which he started this year, in March, which is the largest and most influential decentralized application platform in China. DappReview provides observers with accurate decentralized applications data, user insights and market analytics in all kind of blockchains which include Tron, ETH, EOS, NAS, and many more.

Mr. Niu’s experience in dApps is extensive, and he’s written many reviews on the subject for his project. He’s a graduate from Stanford University and is a game enthusiast.

Alex Wern co-founded Aurora (he serves as its CEO now), and he’s been through Amazon, Adobe and IBM. He prioritizes security and user-friendliness.

Other judges include Daniel Fernández, Haozhi Chen, Dio Lanakiara, Discus Fish, Juliun Brabon and the man known simply as Nick. They are all characters in the blockchain technology industry.

Tron is obviously a superior blockchain platform that so far lacks enough decentralized apps to seriously compete with “old” giants as Ethereum. This effort is part of Tron’s drive to make the platform way more relevant in the cryptosphere by finding new applications, use cases, usability, and usefulness.

This is a global competition which is only limited by language (English or simplified Chinese). This contest is different from others because the developing team will win the prize but also retain ownership of their own project, which is not the rule in software contests.

The winners will be invited to Tron’s niTROn Summit in San Francisco, next year, with all expenses paid by the Tron Foundation up to $5,000 USD.
