Tron Society’s TronBlocks to revolutionize how people see crypto wallets

July 4, 2019 by Guest Author

The Tron Society is a community made up of people who are passionate about Trons’ project. They want to expand the community and bring blockchain technology closer to the mainstream. It’s one of the Tron’s network Super Representatives (the nodes that come up with new blocks for the chain), and it wants everybody to join in.

The Tron Society has many goals. One of them is to make the Tron community grow. Also, to develop more decentralized applications in the Tron network and expand its infrastructure. But, how does the Society does this? What is the point?

It starts with community growth. The Society is active in many platforms (Tron’s mainly) so that all users are kept up to date all the time. Tron has already many enthusiastic supporters, but it’s all about welcoming “strangers” who have never been involved with blockchain technology or networks. That’s how they create a society, that becomes an even bigger community.

Then there are the decentralized applications. The community includes many excellent developers and programmers, so creating new dApps is critical. To give you just a single example, there’s Marius Gill who wrote the code for the Tron Wallet for Android and won the Tron programming contest

A new Tron wallet is also in development for iOS.

The foundation is also trying to expand Tron’s infrastructure. The network will grow, and there will be new nodes all over the planet, and that will make the network more reliable.

Among the many projects supported by the Tron Society is TronBlocks

TronBlocks includes a multifunctional digital wallet designed for the Tron network. It allows you to create, or import or watch your wallet and a safe method to store your private keys. It will display balances, filter your tokens (TRC10 and TRC20 tokens, which are tokens based on TRX).

An exchange is integrated into the technology, and it will even allow you to vote for Tron’s Super Representatives.

For the future, Tron Blocks will develop an iOS version and premium features for both Android and iOS users. It will also make a block explorer available and offer desktop apps.

You can follow Tron Blocks’ Twitter at https://twitter.com/Tronblocks so you can get all the relevant information about Tron and the Society.

Finally!

The first product of #TronBlocks is now available on Android!

Stay tuned for more information about the new wallet and other projects that will come in the near future.

— TronBlocks (@TronBlocks) June 26, 2019

The Android app already has 50.000 users who have downloaded it and installed it in their mobiles.

So what are you waiting for? If you’re a Tron fan, this is the app you should have on your phone. You won’t regret it; you’ll be able to keep track of the coin and many exciting apps in the network.

As we write this, TRX is trading at USD 0.032389, and it’s ranked at the 10th place by market capitalization. Only a few days ago, it was at 12th, so it’s growing and succeeding.

If you’re not interested yet on Tron, or the Tron Society or Tron Blocks, you should be. Have a lookout for these projects, you won’t regret it.

Tron hits another milestone as Math Wallet adds support for TRX

June 14, 2019 by Ali Raza

Math Wallet has finally added support for Tron-based TRC10 and TRC20 tokens for users of its wallet service. The cryptocurrency wallet was established by a company called Medishares, which is a relatively new name in the cryptocurrency world.

The support came in the form of the 1.9.0 update to the wallet and the wallet now finally allows users to transact with Tron Foundation tokens.

The company behind the wallet, Medishares, is a new entrant into the cryptocurrency business and it has styled itself as “the first global mutual insurance marketplace” in the world that is based on blockchain technology.

What this means, in effect, is that users who buy into the native token of the company (known as MDS and trading at $0.012 as the writing of this article) are given the ability to be a part of a mutual aid program. People who buy the MDS token help fund a smart contract for this mutual aid scheme.

Math Wallet and Tron both extending their reach

The news means that both Tron and Medishares are extending their reach and adding a completely new user base to their existing portfolios. The inclusion of TRC10 and TRC20 tokens means that Math Wallet will be able to entice more Dapp users into its ecosystem.

Coming to the Sun-led blockchain, Tron is adding another notch to its already impressive belt, and helping make TRX a more accessible and more open cryptocurrency by having another wallet add support for their tokens.

Spread the news @Mathwallet launched #TRON web wallet! https://t.co/l9gV2v9Jc7

— PoloniDEX (@PoloniDEX) June 14, 2019

This is not the only news regarding Math Wallet as it has also upped the features available in the wallet by being able to use some of the functionality of the Tron blockchain, which is becoming among the top Dapp blockchains in the world at lightning pace.

Users can choose to activate or deactivate Tron power through two buttons in the wallet called “freeze” and “unfreeze.” These are options that are also available in many Tron based Dapps and the Tron Dapp browsers. There is also a resource library that shows the ranking of Tron Dapps, in addition to a Dapp store called Spiderstore. All this allows users of the wallet to have easy access to Dapps that are based on the Tron blockchain.

Mainstream adoption the goal

Justin Sun has never been shy about setting his sights on big moves, but he has always been careful to keep the smaller news trickling in slowly but surely. Adding the support of another wallet is just such a move and can only help with the more mainstream adoption of his brainchild. Tron is already one of the premier Dapp blockchains despite having started relatively late compared to Ethereum or EOS.

None of that matters to Sun though, as his knack for marketing and getting the right partners on board are proving to be a winning combination that is pushing Tron forward faster than any Dapp ecosystem before it.

Many industry observers believe that it is only a matter of time before Tron becomes the ‘de facto leader’ of the Dapp marketplace and continued announcements like the addition of Math Wallet only serve to reinforce that view.

Best Tron wallet TronLink to have three rounds of rewards this month

May 4, 2019 by Naveed Iqbal

TronLink is one of the leading digital wallets when it comes to Tronix (TRX) and the Tron network. Most decentralized apps in the network are fully compatible with it (actually, having TronLink is required to use many of them).

It’s also trendy because it’s so easy to install and use: it’s a Google Chrome (or Chromium, if you’re in Linux) browser extension. It takes less than half a minute to install. And that is excellent news because it means that if it’s so easy to get (also as an app) a TronLink account that you will have no excuse to join the TronLink community and take advantage of three events during the month that will allow you to earn some TRX.

In this article, we tell you all you need to know about the three rounds of rewards that TronLink has for you during this month.

First Event

It started on May 1st and will end on May 5th at 13:00 (Hong Kong time). This event will give you five days to import your own TRX wallet into TronLink, or you can transfer some of your TRX tokens to TronLink. Mind you, frozen coins do not count.

The top ten TRX holders in TronLink will get the following rewards in Tronix: 10000, 6000, 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000 TRX rewards.

🔥DAY 3 of #TronLink Events🔥, 100,000 #TRX rewards!🔥 https://t.co/1HE32sV8bA

— TronLink (@TronLinkWallet) May 3, 2019

If you’re not among the top then but your wallet has more than a thousand TRX, you’ll be rewarded with 30 TRX. It’s one reward per device only. This reward will be distributed until a 30.000,000 TRX limit is reached on a first come first served basis.

The wallet snapshot that will decide everything will be taken on May 5th at noon, Hong Kong time.

Second event

It starts on the next day (May 6th) and it will last until May 10th at noon (again, Hong Kong time).

If you want to have a shot at the rewards in this second event the way to go is to use your TRX and trade in TRX Market using TronLink. The more TRX you use to trade, the better chances you have of being rewarded.

The rewards will come as follows:

  • – 5k TRX
  • – 3k TRX
  • – 2k TRX
  • 4 – 10.- 500 TRX
  • 11 – 59.- 250 TRX
  • 51 – 150.- 65 TRX

The relevant snapshot will happen on May 10th at noon, Hong Kong time.

Third event

From May 1st to May 10th at noon, Hong Kong time.

Just open your Twitter account, follow TronLink and retweet the post corresponding to the event. Ten users will be rewarded with 500 TRX.

Other things you need to know.

If you qualify for one of the airdrops, you’ll get the reward before five working days after May 10th. It will be sent to your TronLink address. Also, taking a snapshot from a network as big as TronLink takes time. So if you want to be in the picture, don’t move! In other words: On May 5th and May 10th, leave your TronLink wallet alone from noon to, say, 13:00, Hong Kong time so you can be sure the snapshot of your account is accurate.

If you want to be eligible for rewards you need to operate from the TronLink app only. That means that if you’re using the Chrome extension, you’re out of the competition. Or at least not included.  The silver prize for the first event can be redeemed once only.

Last but not least, the final say on any issue related to these three events is the TronLink’s team.

So load up your TronLink through your app and join the fun!

TronLink Wallet to Support USDT-TRON Tokens

March 26, 2019 by Naveed Iqbal

The new partnership between Tron and issuer of stablecoin USDT, Tether which saw the introduction of USDT into the Tron network, receives a considerable boost.

The USDT-Tron tokens are interoperable with each Tron-based protocol as well as decentralized applications (Dapps). Also, it allows the exchange and transaction of fiat-pegged coins across the blockchain.

So, we all know there are many advantages of the Tron-based stablecoin, it has now got the support of best Tron wallet, TronLink.

TronLink to Support USDT-TRON

TronLink is an easy way of accessing the Tron blockchain, and because it’s a browser extension, it’s able to connect website content into a secure platform whereby one can receive, send, and sign transactions effortlessly.

Therefore, in ensuring they meet the needs of all users for stablecoin trading, TronLink Chrome Wallet as well as TronLink App Wallet has announced the support of Tron-based USDT tokens.

Besides, in the meantime, the TronLink wallet will, also, support the airdrop plan for USDT-TRON holders as well as the one-click exchange function for the USDT-TRON trading.

#TronLink will support USDT-TRON. Relevant one-click switch and airdrop function are on Roadmap now. @Tronfoundation @justinsuntron $TRX #TRX #USDT https://t.co/WLTLudo7F9

— TronLink (@TronLinkWallet) March 26, 2019

A boost for mass adoption?

The relentless push by Tron foundation for mass adoption is no secret. Hence, an announcement of such a magnitude of TronLink supporting the newly formed USDT must sound like a significant boost with the objective of mass adoption.

The presence of USDT-TRON tokens on the platform is meant to make the transactions faster as well as free-of-cost (almost), and at the same time improve the use-cases of the stablecoin. There has been good news all around surrounding Sun-led blockchain project, and as many of them keep coming, we can expect to see some significant impact on its price soon.

When will the price go up? We hear you ask. We do not know. Knowbody knows. But the only thing we are optimistic about is, it will go up. Good things take time; adoption takes time. Let’s stay positive and keep in touch with daily Tron news.

Huobi supports Tron’s decentralized applications now

March 11, 2019 by Ali Qamar

Huobi

Huobi calls itself “The Financial Hub of Digital Assets.”

The Huobi group was established in 2013 with financing by ZhenFund and Sequoia Capital, which are amongst the cryptoverse’s biggest players when it comes to venture capital. The platform’s turnover is higher than 1.2 Trillion USD and, once upon a time, it managed 50% of the global trading volume.

The group has created more than sixty upstream and downstream enterprises. These subsidiaries are compliant in countries like Hong Kong, Brazil, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. That allows this industrial group to service millions of users in 130 countries in the world.

Huobi’s platforms include a wallet (Huobi Wallet). Yesterday, Huobi announced that its wallet will support Tron’s decentralized apps now. That’s not surprising as Huobi has become one of the world’s more Tron-friendly platforms (and wallets). And if you download your Huobi Wallet right now you’ll be able to share in a pool of 10 million TRX tokens over the next three days.

Wallets and decentralized networks

The next question would be, why should you ever need a wallet to navigate Tron’s web? It’s actually very simple. Decentralized applications are not exactly free to use. For instance, if you’re going to use TronBet to have some fun you’ll need a few TRX tokens to place bets.

But even if you don’t, using a decentralized network needs for users to own some tokens. That’s why every blockchain includes tokens within the project. If you’re using dApps you need to have some tokens to browse around the network.

You have to pay a little (or a lot if you’re in Ethereum) for every click or transaction. That’s called “gas”. And it’s a good thing. It’s not about greed from the network. It’s about avoiding the kind of abusive behavior that ends up in DoS attacks and things of the sort because you can’t send infinite requests to a website if you have to pay for each answer.

Huobi Wallet supports #Tron DApps now, and has become one of the most Tron-friendly wallets in the world. To celebrated this big milestone, a gift is ready for you. Download now to claim it https://t.co/56YojfMGZb @justinsuntron @Tronfoundation pic.twitter.com/sFr5tyMoUH

— HuobiWallet (@HuobiWallet) March 7, 2019

So this is a good thing. Now you can use one of the world’s most reliable wallets (Huobi’s obviously) to join Tron and have some fun around the network. This is not small potatoes if you take into account that Tron is now the world’s largest decentralized network when it comes to dApps (yes, it’s beaten both EOS, and Ethereum, its closer competitors).

This gives cryptonauts all over the world extra resources, means and ways to join the Tron Network. It’s never been easier to join.

#TRON now has 243 live DApps on @dapp_review 📲

Simultaneously, #TRX users of DApps are conducting increasingly more transactions, as the TRON blockchain recorded 1,736,060 transactions on DApps on March 9#Ethereum processed 64,808 transactions on #ETH DApps

TRON is rising 📈 pic.twitter.com/kJCIdcQkAf

— Misha Lederman (@mishalederman) March 10, 2019

Over the next few months, Tron will become the world’s largest decentralized networks. That will happen as the BitTorrent becomes a part of the Tron Network and then, the world’s largest provider of decentralized content in the world will be Tron, hands down.

Even Youtube and Google will be utterly unable to compete. And Tron will be decentralized and will provide passive income for users.

And that, as the time comes, will also be helped by the ability to use your Huobi wallet as you browse around the new Tron/BitTorrent network (it will be called Project Atlas).

So this is great news for both Tron and Huobi. We salute Huobi’s decision!

Welcome to Tron (TRX): The beginner’s guide

February 25, 2019 by Ali Qamar

Tron is a third generation blockchain platform with a clarity of purpose that most other blockchain projects lack: “Decentralize the web.” In other words, Tron is focused on using its state-of-the-art blockchain technology as a substratum to develop a global market that will include entertainment, media, and all kinds of content, except that it will be 100% decentralized.

That means that the current Internet central authorities (which also function as middlemen for creators) will be left out of the loop (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc.). That will allow content creators to profit from their work directly from users without risking demonetization due to not following a company’s policy.

Among the many exciting features that are unique in Tron is their governance model for achieving consensus. It’s called Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS). The consensus is essential in any blockchain network because that’s how you know that the network’s ledger (which is distributed among many nodes in the world) agrees in the way the network is moving forward.

Every node has the exact same copy of the whole blockchain, and every node agrees with every other one in that they all do. That’s the heart of decentralization. But Tron’s model allows for additional features such as voting for the “witnesses” that keep the network honest and receive compensation for processing transactions and creating new blocks.

Young as it is (not even two years old) the Tron network is already very well populated with all kinds of decentralized apps for users to enjoy. And, as the Tron Foundation bought BitTorrent a few months ago, and it’s about to merge it into Tron’s Network (Project Atlas), it is about to become the world’s largest decentralized network.

Join us as we tell you all you need to know to get started with Tron and to enjoy the apps, the token and the community.

What’s under Tron’s hood?

In short, if you see under Tron’s hood, you’ll find one of the most innovative and well-designed blockchains. This is the nerdy part, so feel free to move on to the next section if you’re interested in the more practical aspects of Tron, or in how to get started quickly. But we’d suggest for you to keep reading because knowing a project’s fundamentals is a good way to understand why it’s more valuable (or not) than others.

The network achieves governed decentralization and cost-efficient and very rapid transactions among members by using a classic three-layer architecture. The first layer is for storage. It manages how the data is recorded in the chain’s blocks, and how the system retrieves it for practical purposes.

Then there’s the core layer. This is where you’ll find all the data that keeps some of Tron’s most specific functionalities going. Here is the module that enables smart contracts, account management, consensus, and voting.

The Tron Virtual Machine (TVM) also works in this second layer. The TVM is a translator of sorts that developers can use to create decentralized applications and deploy them using any programming language they fancy.

Last but not least is the application layer. This one is more on the surface and allows developers to create their own dApps and smart contracts, along with the network’s tokens.

The Tron environment is unique as well. Most of the work (that means, creating new blocks) is done by 27 nodes that have been voted to become Super Representatives by TRX holders.

Other users can also help those nodes and even get some passive income as a reward. The Super Representative elections are an ongoing process that never stops. The idea behind the permanent elections is to keep the network inexpensive and with very high transaction speeds. It’s the competition that keeps the network performing well.

Getting Started with Tron

So you’d like to join Tron, huh? Well, first of all, you need to decide how you would like to join it. The simplest, most direct way, to join is quite simple: to own and hold a few Tronix (TRX) tokens.

That enables you to participate from the moment your wallet is populated, and it gives you a few additional advantages. TRX holders can use the network’s dApps; they can vote for Super Representatives (current or candidates) and suggest changes to the protocol.

But maybe you have more of a creative personality, and you want to join as a developer — not a bad choice. Few blockchains are as friendly for developers as Tron because the network offers lots of resources for them to use and, you don’t need to learn any native programming language for Tron, as you do in other blockchains. You’ll find repositories of developer resources scattered all over the web, but you can also use Tron’s own guides.

But if you want to be a normal user or a developer, the first thing you need to do to join is to buy and use some TRX tokens. For that, you need a wallet that can hold TRX.

Getting a Tron Wallet

This is another advantage in Tron. Setting up a TRX wallet is quite painless, and you can find several links at the Tron website that will enable you to do that quickly and easily.

You just need to go to the website, find the Wallet webpage, and you’ll find all the options available for community-developed wallets. Some of them can hold Tron or Tron-based tokens only. But there are some (Ledger, for instance) that can hold other cryptocurrencies as well.

Among the choices when it comes to best Tron wallets, you’ll have are Ledger Nano S (which is not Tron, but it’s a popular, affordable, hardware wallet, Exodus, Trust Wallet. Those are multi-coin. Other options, more focused on TRX are Tron Wallet iOS, TronLink Chrome (which is especially popular) and iTRON Wallet.

All those options are safe, reliable and can be deployed from your desktop computer, your internet browser, a mobile device of your choice or even a hardware wallet devices which looks just exactly like a USB-stick.

If you’re on the developing side of things, you can even come up with your very own wallet to use with Tron Block Explorer. But you’ll have to be approved and listed.

We’ll tell you how to use a TRX wallet known as TronLink Chrome. There are several good reasons for that. First of all, this wallet is a Chrome extension, so installing it is a walk in the park, and it takes fewer than 60 seconds and clicking a few links (assuming Chrome if your browser of choice, of course).

  • You start here: https://tron.network/wallet
  • Find “TronLink Chrome” and click “Download.”
  • You’ll be redirected to a Google Chrome Extensions webpage. Click on the Add to Chrome button. Your browser will install the extension, and the TronLink icon will appear on your browser’s extensions bar.
  • Click on the icon. That will pop a menu that allows new users to create a password (which should be a strong one, ofc). Type it again for confirmation.
  • You’ll have to choose between restoring an existing TRX wallet or creating a new one. If you’re going to restore one, you’ll have to provide your secret key or phrase. But since we assume you’re new on this, we click on “Create Wallet.”
  • Create a username. A popup will tell you what conventions you should follow.
  • Come up with a 12-word phrase. That’s the secret phrase that will enable you to restore your account if you should need that in the future.
  • Tron will ask you to click on a series of words, in the same order as your key phrase. After that, you confirm, and you’re all set with a new Tron wallet.

And that’s when the game begins. Open your wallet again by clicking on your TronLink icon, and you’ll see a popup that lists your accounts, your wallet addresses, transaction history, Tron dApps, token balances and more.

TRONScan: So you want to find a node?

TronScan is Tron’s block explorer. It’s an interesting tool. You can think of it as Tron’s Yellow Pages meet Tron’s Annals. It lets you explore individual blocks, transactions, and addresses in the network.

If something has ever happened in Tron, it’s there somewhere. If a node is online, you can find it there too. This is probably for hardcore developers who like to find patterns in the network’s flow of information. Remember that tokens are also a form of information, so the financial flows in Tron can also be consulted there.

But maybe you’re just interested in finding a Super Representative node in the Tron network (you know, the guys who do all the hard work). That will allow you to create a node of your own so you can help a given node of your choice.

And according to each node’s specific policy on payment structures, you could be rewarded for sharing your resources. Let’s be clear about something: this is not mining, Tronix is not a minable digital coin, but the chain still needs new blocks to be created all the time. You could say that this is as close as Tron comes to mining, and you can join. And for that, you first need to choose a node.

Super Representative nodes welcome extra help with open arms because the DPoS system encourages it. If those nodes are not willing to spread the wealth a little, they will have a much harder time earning votes from TRX holders.

Here’s how you find a node near you (or anywhere else) in the Tron network:

  • You start at https://tronscan.org/
  • Click on the blockchain tab. It’s the one on the left side of the top menu.
  • You’ll see a dropdown. Click on “Nodes.”
  • You’ll see a zoomable map in which you can browse around the world and find SR nodes everywhere on the planet. This will help you to chose which SR you’d like to vote for and join.
  • Clicking on the map’s pins will show you each node’s IP address. Entering that address in the site’s search bar (top of the page) will tell you all you want to know: number of tokens in the node, number of completed transactions, uptime, efficiency, and other essential stats.

So you want to buy some TRX?

As mentioned before, this is how it all starts (once you have a wallet).

Justin Sun and the Tron Foundation have a very aggressive and adept PR and marketing policy for a good product. So TRX has become a popular cryptocurrency in a short time. By popular we mean that it’s listed in most of the world’s most important exchanges, but also in several that are not so famous.

If you know Huobi, OKEx, Upbit, or Binance, they all carry TRX. But these are all crypto-to-crypto exchanges, which means that you can’t use your fiat currency through your debit or credit card to buy coins there. To use those websites you already have to own a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, most frequently) and then trade it for TRX.

So you’ll need to start with a crypto exchange that supports fiat-to-crypto pairs. That will need for you to sign up, verify your account, link your bank account or card to the website. Among the best sites for this kind of operation are Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini, because they’re among the safest and more reliable in the market.

  • Once you have some cryptocurrency (BTC is the one that you can really trade everywhere), you’re almost there. Sing up for an exchange that includes TRX trading pairs (say, Binance). Verify your account. Find your BTC wallet for the site.
  • Click on “deposit,” and that will get you a deposit address for the Bitcoin network. Copy to your clipboard.
  • Then go to the site where you bought your BTC initially, find the “withdrawal” button or link. Paste the address and click “send.” They could ask you for confirmation using a Two-Factor verification device (usually your mobile phone). Congrats, you’ve made your first BTC to BTC transfer!
  • Now you need a bit of patience. Keep in mind that Bitcoin is not currently the fastest network in crypto, but it’s very reliable so the transfer will be done. But it could take a few minutes (10-30) and sometimes even more.
  • Once the BTC is in your Binance BTC wallet you need to find the TRX/BTC pair (not the BTC/TRX one, that’s what you would do if you owned TRX already). Most often you’ll find the link at the top of the site. Click on BTC to find the trading pairs based on Bitcoin. Then find the TRX/BTC pair and click on “Buy TRX” and enter the number of BTC tokens you want to convert to TRX. Click “Buy.” That’s it! Congrats now you own some TRX and can start using Tron’s dApps!

How to develop your own dApp

Feeling creative? Few other projects offer their developers more resources (in both quantity and quality). The first place to go would be https://developers.tron.network. Most of your questions related to software development on Tron are answered there, but you can also find other Tron devs to talk with and learn from their expertise.

What do you need to know? Well, anything you know in terms of computer programming is enough. When Tron launched its new Main Net, everything was Java only. Now, the TVM allows you to write code in any language of your choice, and the TVM executes it in Tron.

Lots of developers do the work on Ethereum because it’s been along for a longer time as a programmable platform, and then they just port the work to Tron so it can be integrated into the network. It could be more practical, but that’s up to every developer.

Once your app compiles using Solidity, you can use Yarn (which is free) to take your app to Tron.

Consensus: Here’s how it works

One of the most interesting aspects of owning TRX is the Super Representative electoral process. It has a huge turnover. In order to vote you need to freeze your TRX for some time.

Freezing your tokens is useful because that gets you two cryptocurrencies of sorts called “power” and “bandwidth” which you will need so you can dance around the network more comfortably. And, also, it gives you the right to vote.

Don’t worry about freezing your tokens. You can’t use them as long as they’re frozen, but you won’t lose them. And having some power and bandwidth in your wallet will make your life easier.

Here’s how it goes:

  • Go to TronScan, log in.
  • Make sure you have TRX in your wallet. You need just a single token, but you must have something.
  • If TronScan is not aware yet about your wallet, click on Open Wallet (top right) and enter your wallet’s private key. If you have it as a keystore file on your computer, that works too.
  • In your wallet click on “Freeze” and choose how many of your TRX you want to freeze.

The freeze lasts for 72 hours, and you can’t use them in the meantime. After those three days, you get your TRX will become available and active again. Go to the Tron SR tan, and click on Votes. The page will show you your balance of power, TRX, and a timer that’s counting down until the next round of voting begins. Only 27 nodes can be Super Representatives at any given time.

You’ll see who they are, and you’ll find links to their respective websites. In those websites, you’ll find out what’s each individual node’s policy about helpers. That way you can figure out which SR suits you better and vote accordingly.

Click on “Click here to start voting,” and that will show you a slider next to each SR and candidate. That slider represents the amount of power you want to use for voting, and who will get your vote.

If your candidate wins or remains an SR, you can join that node as a supporter and begin getting some rewards for helping the network.

Final thoughts

We hope we managed to be informative and, maybe, get you interested in one of the most innovative and exciting blockchain projects in the world today. The Tron community is very committed to the project and bullish about the token. In the worst case scenario, you’ll find a lot of exciting apps, have some fun, and pick some nice chats with fellow Tron members.

TRON is one of the best cryptocurrencies in the crypto-space today. It is a decentralized blockchain platform that has lots of Dapps deployed on it. The Sun-led blockchain is very popular as its token is widely used around the world today.

TRON was initially launched on Ethereum’s blockchain network; however, the TRON network took a step forward by migrating from ERC-20 into creating its own MainNet in June last year.
