Tron is one of the most decentralized blockchain platforms today and taking a look back at its initial vision; it was created to change the entertainment industry. Despite hitting extreme lows this year, the cryptocurrency remains positive and has kept its supporters with it rather nicely despite the market is bearish.
And now, the blockchain project run by visionary leader Justin Sun is going to invest a million dollars for its Accelerator program for Dapps.
Tron Accelerator is set to be launched shortly. In the bid to foster the development of the program, the blockchain firm has created an official website (tronaccelerator.io) of the project.
It is important to know that Tron Accelerator is a program that will change Tron’s ecosystem, because it will give developers the right opportunity to create Dapps and get incentives; in return, Tron acquires the best minds to help in the development of its ecosystem.
Tron Accelerator, a Big Rival to Ethereum’s Project
Tron moved from Ethereum’s ecosystem to create its very own ecosystem. Just like Ethereum, it helps in the production of decentralized applications in the blockchain world.
With that in mind, Tron decided to explore the opportunities in Dapps where the games alongside Smart-contract applications can be created which is why Tron Accelerator project got announced to foster the development of decentralized applications.
Tron is poised to make sure their ecosystem is more efficient that Ethereum’s and in that view, Tron Accelerator will help to improve the prominence of it in the blockchain world.
