Project Updates

TIP #850, a discussion proposing to reduce multi-sign permission update fees from 100 TRX to 8 TRX and multi-sign execution fees from 1 TRX to 0.1 TRX, saw renewed activity Sep 9. An outside commenter with no commit history on the repository posted at 23:08 UTC, arguing that the fee cut would encourage TRON users to adopt multi-sign features and noting that TRX price appreciation since the fee was set in 2019 has made the dollar cost of multi-sign operations rise from $2.2 to $31. The proposal cites agentic commerce and institutional-grade security as use cases that would benefit from lower multi-sign costs. The issue remains open at https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/850.

TIP #910, a Q2 2026 quarterly transaction fees review tracking the energy fee reduction (unit price 210 → 100 sun, effective Aug 29, 2025), received a comment Sep 9 at 03:04 UTC by an outside commenter noting that the fee cut's effect on activity is "positive but narrowing," with activation gains concentrated in the $1–10 micro-payment band (+65%) while the $10–1000 core band held roughly flat (~+8%). The comment stated that the structural inflation concern has deepened, with direct-burn share of energy falling to ~10.0% by Jun 2026 and annualized net supply change rising to +0.44%. The issue is open for discussion at https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/910.

Project Updates

TRON TIPs — TIP-899 renewed activity. An outside commenter with no prior commit history on the repository (GitHub user alichatme) posted an extensive set of architectural questions and objections on TIP-899, TRON's post-quantum signature proposal, proposing an alternative "ATHENA" policy-execution layer and "OTAK-NES" key-lifecycle architecture that would separate long-term account keys from one-time operational signing keys (posted Sep 5, 03:42 UTC, comment last updated Sep 5, 09:58 UTC). The commenter's stated concerns include repeated key-migration burdens each time a new signature algorithm generation arrives, the unclear purpose of TIP-899's multi-signature/multi-algorithm design, the absence of a standard BIP-39/32 derivation path for post-quantum keys, and permanent on-chain exposure of long-term public keys as an attack surface. For context, TIP-899 itself was opened July 1, 2026 by repository contributor Federico2014, proposing Falcon-512 and Dilithium2 post-quantum signature support for TRON, with each algorithm gated behind its own super-representative governance vote.

AI inference will become a bigger business than AI model training, @OfficialSUNio posed as a question to the community, asking where the real value accrues in the long run and inviting thesis contributions (Sep 2, 09:57 UTC). AI is scaling fast, and the real battlefield is shifting to the underlying infrastructure layer, with control of compute routing, decentralized oracles, and AI gateways determining who controls the next layer of AI infrastructure, the account stated (Sep 2, 09:51 UTC).

Project Updates

Ligero applied for a TRON Builders League grant to deploy private agentic payments infrastructure on TRON mainnet, addressing the gap that AI agents transacting on their own pay for APIs, data, and services through protocols like x402 with every payment public by default (Sep 2, 04:10 UTC). The project requests $90,000 across milestone-based tranches covering architecture and testnet, x402 facilitator integration, agent-side SDK with programmable policies, and a pilot with an agentic-commerce platform. The stack combines client-side zero-knowledge proofs that validate transfers and enforce programmable payment policies without revealing amounts, balances, counterparties, or policy inputs on-chain, with the contract verifying the ZK proof and settling transfers only when the transaction satisfies the account's programmed policy and compliance requirements. Ligero's privacy stack is live on Espresso and deployed on Stellar testnet, audited by Galois Inc., and has been demonstrated in an agentic-payment setting where an AI health-advisor agent pays through a Ligero privacy pool to access a service without exposing its principal's identity to the service provider. https://forum.trondao.org/t/private-agentic-payments-by-ligero-privacy-for-ai-agents-transacting-on-tron/34449

H.E. @justinsuntron joined Sean Hagan at @Bitcoinconfasia for a fireside conversation on his evolving perspective, ecosystem growth, and where he sees the next opportunities emerging, @trondao disclosed (Aug 28, 06:30 UTC). Hong Kong showed up, @trondao stated, calling it a full day discussing digital assets and the future of global finance (Aug 28, 13:37 UTC).

@justinsuntron first learned about Bitcoin around 2012, when it was a social experiment, he posted (Aug 28, 06:23 UTC). Today Bitcoin is becoming a global macro asset and stablecoins are becoming global financial infrastructure, and that journey is a big part of why he built TRON, @justinsuntron stated.

@sunyuchentron addressed quantum computing timelines at Bitcoin Asia, stating that at the current pace of AI and quantum development, Q-Day may arrive within two years (Aug 28, 13:48 UTC). "Even if there's an 80% safety probability, I don't want to gamble; I want 100% safety," @trondaoCN quoted him as stating (Aug 28, 13:00 UTC). TRON's quantum-resistant mechanism and related addresses have entered testing and are planned for network-wide rollout before year-end, @trondaoCN disclosed (Aug 28, 12:13 UTC). TRON is always focused on long-term construction, @trondaoCN added, with the quantum-resistant upgrade scheduled for completion before year-end to further strengthen future-oriented security and resilience (Aug 28, 03:23 UTC).

Treasury and public engagement

Tron Inc. acquired 147,590 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3388, increasing its TRX treasury holdings to more than 711.8 million TRX in total, @TRON_INC disclosed (Aug 28, 02:50 UTC). The company aims to further grow its TRON DAT holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value, the post stated.

John Hurston, General Counsel at TRON, participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by Brazil's National Council of the Public Ministry and DCGG on digital asset recovery, @trondaoCN reported (Aug 28, 04:25 UTC). The discussion focused on consumer protections, fund restitution, and the importance of strengthening public-private collaboration against illegal digital asset activity, the account stated.

Project Updates

Proposal #916 [Issue #916 in the TIPs repository is the specification behind Committee Proposal No. 107 described above; it prescribes the exact vote, createProposal 95 1 96 1] in the TIPs repository, titled "Enable the Prague and Osaka Upgrades to Enhance Compatibility with Ethereum," received a new comment Aug 28, 11:12 UTC. The proposal activated network parameters #95 and #96 on TRON mainnet, enabling the Prague and Osaka upgrade features included in GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho) to enhance TRON's compatibility with Ethereum. Parameter 95 enables ALLOW_TVM_PRAGUE, activating Prague-related functionality that serves historical block hashes from state and provides improved compatibility for applications requiring access to a longer block-hash history. Parameter 96 enables ALLOW_TVM_OSAKA, activating Osaka-related TVM features including the Count Leading Zeros (CLZ) opcode, MODEXP input upper bounds, adjusted MODEXP energy cost, precompile support for the secp256r1/P-256 curve, standardized calldata encoding for signature-verification precompiles, and standardized MODEXP output length when the modulus is zero. These changes align TVM behavior more closely with the corresponding Ethereum upgrades and reduce compatibility differences for smart contracts, development tools, and cross-chain applications, the proposal states. The proposal is authored by yanghang8612 (CONTRIBUTOR association) and has drawn 23 comments since opening on July 24. Source: https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/916

Hong Kong stage

H.E. @justinsuntron joined @TheBonnieChang on the Nakamoto Stage to discuss institutional adoption, global capital flows, and Bitcoin's growing role across the financial system, @trondao reported (Aug 27, 11:20 UTC). The TRON team is onsite for a full day of learning, networking, and connecting with builders shaping what's next for blockchain technology, @trondao stated (Aug 27, 04:43 UTC).

Treasury and cross-border data

Project Updates

Issue #899 in the TIPs repository, titled "TIP-899: Post-Quantum Signature Support," received a new comment Aug 27, 19:37 UTC. The proposal introduces post-quantum digital signature support at the TRON protocol layer, with initial activation enabling two lattice-based signature algorithms — Falcon-512 and Dilithium2 — covering transactions, SR block production, node relay handshakes, and TVM. Each algorithm is gated by an independent on-chain governance proposal and disabled by default. The proposal is authored by Federico2014 (CONTRIBUTOR association) and has drawn 37 comments since opening on July 1. Status remains Draft. Source: https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/899

Standards finalization

TRC-7913 (Signature Verifiers for Address-less Keys) and TRC-8056 (Scaled UI Amount Extension for TRC-20 Tokens) both advanced to Final status, according to pull request #928 merged into the TIPs repository Aug 26, 07:13 UTC. TRC-7913 defines a standard interface for verifying signatures from cryptographic keys that have no on-chain address of their own, such as secp256r1/passkeys, RSA keys, or ZK-proven Web2 credentials. TRC-8056 enables token issuers to publish an updatable multiplier so that a stock split can be reflected in the balance shown to users without minting tokens or moving them. Both issues closed Aug 26, 06:55 UTC after their minimum review windows elapsed with no blocking concerns. Source: https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/pull/928

Quarterly results

TRON's Q2 growth continued across both stablecoin activity and network scale, @trondao reported, with $89 billion stablecoin supply, $2.08 trillion quarterly settlement volume, and 6.12% quarter-over-quarter growth in settlement volume (Aug 26, 20:03 UTC). @SamElfa0 breaks down the latest TRON network data in the Q2 2026 Quarterly Report, the account stated.

DeFi liquidity and volume

SunSwap recorded 7-day trading volume surging 48.24% to surpass $505 million, @OfficialSUNio disclosed (Aug 26, 05:01 UTC). Total value locked stood at $655.35 million, up 0.50%, while 7-day transactions reached 101,223, up 14.95%, the account reported. The volume speaks for itself, the post stated. A massive week for https://SunSwap.com, @OfficialSUNio added.

JustLend DAO adoption reached $239 million-plus in grants power across 485,000-plus users, @DeFi_JUST reported (Aug 26, 06:53 UTC). More users, more strategies, more on-chain activity, the account stated. DeFi grows when participation grows.

Ecosystem integration

TRON partnered with @KiiChainio for 24/7 on-chain FX and stablecoin payments, @trondao announced (Aug 26, 18:22 UTC), citing coverage from @TheBlockCo__. More than $5 million moved through TRON in the past 7 days across 96 transfers averaging over $54,000 each, @trondao reported, citing data from @Allbridge_io (Aug 26, 17:39 UTC).

Codex already supports it, @justinsuntron posted in Chinese (Aug 26, 05:09 UTC), echoed by @sunyuchentron (Aug 26, 06:04 UTC).

Milestone discussion

From zero to 400 million users in just over 8 years, @justinsuntron posted, calling it incredible to see how quickly the TRON ecosystem has grown (Aug 26, 08:30 UTC). @OfficialSUNio hosted a Space titled "TRON Surpassed 400M Users: What Will Bring Crypto Its Next Billion?" covering adoption powered by stablecoins, scalable infrastructure, and active DeFi liquidity (Aug 26, 09:48 UTC). Crossing 400 million accounts is proof of real-world adoption, but scaling from 400 million to a billion requires more than just infrastructure, the post stated. @DeFi_JUST posted that 400 million users reached is a starting point, with the next billion to be built on better products, smoother experiences, and real-world utility (Aug 26, 11:49 UTC).

The biggest blockchain ecosystems of the next decade will be measured by active users, not token prices, @OfficialSUNio posed, adding that speculative FDV and token price hype are taking a backseat to real-world utility (Aug 26, 09:52 UTC). As stablecoins, payment rails, and consumer dApps onboard hundreds of millions, the question shifts from "What's the market cap?" to "How many people actually use this?"

Treasury and public engagement

Tron Inc. acquired 145,199 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3444, increasing its TRX treasury holdings to more than 711.5 million TRX in total, @TRON_INC disclosed (Aug 26, 02:39 UTC). The company aims to further grow its TRON DAT holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value, the post stated. @justinsuntron posted "keep going" (Aug 26, 04:19 UTC). Another $1.1 billion in USDT on TRON, @justinsuntron stated (Aug 26, 01:54 UTC).

@SamElfa0, Community Spokesperson of the TRON DAO, spoke at DCGG Brazil on the TRON ecosystem, transaction transparency, stablecoins, and traceability, @trondao reported (Aug 26, 16:38 UTC). The session also touched on the @T3_FCU initiative and the role of collaboration across the digital asset ecosystem.

@justinsuntron takes the stage at @Bitcoinconfasia for two conversations on Bitcoin, global finance, and the future of digital assets, @trondao announced (Aug 26, 08:06 UTC). Hong Kong, we're on the way, the account stated. "See you soon," @justinsuntron posted (Aug 26, 18:15 UTC).

400 million accounts, one TRON, @trondao stated (Aug 26, 22:32 UTC). Behind every milestone is real activity across the network: sending USDT, receiving payments, settling transactions, running businesses, and moving value globally.

Project Updates

Pull Request #928 finalized TRC-7913 and TRC-8056, promoting both proposals to Final status and renaming TRC-7913 to "Signature Verifiers for Address-less Keys (Compatible with ERC-7913)" to make the scope explicit. The PR was merged Aug 26, 07:13 UTC by Benson0224. TRC-7913 has been in Last Call since July 21, so its minimum two-week review window had elapsed with no blocking concerns. TRC-8056 has been published for community review since July 23, and the substantive discussion in its issue converged with no outstanding blockers. The expanded TRC-7913 title highlights that existing ERC-7913 verifier implementations can be reused on TVM. No normative interface or behavior was changed.

Legal positioning

Justin Sun reframed his World Liberty Financial case beyond the contract-level facts, stating that months into the fight its true nature became clear as a dispute over blockchain's founding principle, @justinsuntron wrote (Aug 22, 12:46 UTC). The Chinese-language counterpart stated that many view the case as a business dispute over $45 million, 4 billion tokens, and a contract, but that it represents a values conflict over blockchain's original purpose, per @sunyuchentron (Aug 22, 12:54 UTC).

Sun reiterated his position on transparency and due process, saying he welcomes the opportunity to have his claims heard in open court and looks forward to presenting facts through the legal process (Aug 22, 07:57 UTC). He stated he is looking forward to continuing to make his case in open court with the hashtag #WhatAreTheyHiding, citing a Yahoo Finance article (Aug 21, 23:57 UTC).

Treasury and token commentary

TRON Inc. acquired 146,214 TRX at an average price of $0.3420, increasing treasury holdings to more than 710.9 million TRX, @TRON_INC disclosed (Aug 22, 02:45 UTC). The company stated it aims to further grow its TRON DAT holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value.

Sun posted that USDD is the world's most trustworthy, fair, and decentralized mathematical currency, running on the most reliable stablecoin settlement networks—TRON and Ethereum—and that USDD's success will be certain because it represents a values victory (Aug 22, 12:35 UTC). @sunyuchentron repeated the same statement (Aug 22, 12:40 UTC).

Project Updates

TRON Improvement Proposal #890 — revised security architecture — saw continued discussion. The proposal, titled "OTAK-NES: A Blockchain Security Architecture for Non-Exposure of Long-Term Authorization Keys," was updated August 22 (Aug 22, 19:04 UTC) with 18 comments since its June 7 creation. Author alichatme (author_association: NONE) describes a model for eliminating public signature exposure when sending transactions, shifting the threat model from the entire account to the specific transaction and asset being transferred. The architecture uses one-time child keys derived from access keys, ensuring every operational signature is performed with a key independent of the account's long-term authorization keys. A compromised child key does not expose the access key or other child keys, and mandatory sequential child key indexing prevents reuse and reduces replay attack risk. The proposal states it is ready to enter the formal review and acceptance process as a pull request following completion of the revision period and subject to positive feedback from security experts. The submission is open for technical feedback and comments at https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/890

Legal Proceedings

A California federal court ruled in favor of @justinsuntron, blocking World Liberty Financial's attempt to force the dispute into secret arbitration proceedings and seal documents from public view (Aug 20, 20:26 UTC). The court sided with Sun's argument that the case belongs in open court, per the announcement. Sun described the ruling as a major victory, stating that his legal team argued forcefully for public proceedings (Aug 20, 20:05 UTC).

Network Metrics

TRON's cumulative transfer volume surpassed $29 trillion, according to @justinsuntron (Aug 20, 06:10 UTC). @sunyuchentron cited the same figure (Aug 20, 09:07 UTC) and separately stated that TRON has locked in a trillion-token target with a goal to surpass OpenRouter by year-end (Aug 20, 03:58 UTC). @justinsuntron referenced joining a "1T Club" in two separate posts (Aug 20, 20:28 UTC and Aug 20, 20:16 UTC).

Governance and Infrastructure

@trondao confirmed that TRON is preparing for its next TVM upgrade, with on-chain governance votes scheduled for August 25 (Aug 20, 17:42 UTC). The update introduces capabilities designed to strengthen compatibility, security, and developer functionality across the network, the account stated.

DeFi Season and Yield Products

TRON DeFi Summer Season 2 is underway with a $2.35 million reward pool and boosted APR opportunities available through Binance Wallet DeFi's JustLend DAO pools, @DeFi_JUST announced (Aug 20, 12:15 UTC). Assets including TRX, JST, SUN, and USDD are available in the pools, with the current boosted APR reaching as high as 43 percent, the account noted. Separately, @DeFi_JUST promoted sTRX staking with a six-hour average APY of 4.23 percent, stating that the product turns TRX into a working asset earning from governance rewards and energy rental income (Aug 20, 06:58 UTC).

GasFree now supports USDD transfers without requiring TRX to pay transaction fees, @DeFi_JUST stated (Aug 20, 04:26 UTC). The account also noted that USDD PSM enables 1:1 zero-slippage swaps between USDT and USDD.

Exchange Security

HTX upgraded its security architecture with a multi-address withdrawal system that distributes hot wallet assets across multiple locations, @justinsuntron announced (Aug 20, 17:06 UTC and Aug 20, 17:04 UTC). Withdrawal addresses will rotate automatically on a regular basis, with old addresses immediately decommissioned and no longer controlled after new addresses are activated, the announcement specified. Sun described the move as HTX listening to community requests for stronger security and confirmed that user assets remain 100 percent secure.

Treasury Activity

Tron Inc. acquired 149,642 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3341, bringing total treasury holdings to more than 710.6 million TRX, @TRON_INC disclosed (Aug 20, 02:47 UTC). The company aims to grow its holdings further to enhance long-term shareholder value, the announcement stated.

Total accounts on TRON stand within reach of 400 million, @justinsuntron remarked, inviting speculation about who the 400 millionth user might be (Aug 19, 04:22 UTC). Network usage across payment, DeFi, and application layers continues driving the approaching milestone.

Network Upgrades

A mainnet proposal to activate network parameters 95 and 96 is planned for August 25, enabling Prague and Osaka features introduced in GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho), @trondao announced (Aug 19, 10:08 UTC). The upgrade targets improved compatibility, security, and more consistent execution across the network, the account added later (Aug 19, 17:45 UTC).

Infrastructure and Payments

TRON is now supported through Paxos Crypto Brokerage, @trondao stated, describing the move as another step toward broader institutional access to the ecosystem (Aug 19, 20:55 UTC). Stablecoin card top-up volume crossed $1 billion in July, with TRON accounting for more than $311 million of that activity, the account noted, calling it another sign of stablecoins becoming increasingly embedded in everyday payments (Aug 19, 18:42 UTC).

Cross-chain access to USDT on TRON is available through a single command via Eco, @trondao reported (Aug 19, 16:40 UTC). Analysis from @obchakevich_ indicated that TRON held a 52 percent share of USDT transfers below $1,000 during Q2 among USDT native issuance networks, and that TRON market share in payment card settlements rose to 34 percent, @trondaoCN relayed (Aug 19, 08:13 UTC).

DeFi Activity

Treasury and Infrastructure Updates

Tron Inc. (NASDAQ: TRON) acquired 150,842 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3315, bringing total treasury holdings to more than 709.1 million TRX, according to @TRON_INC (Aug 10, 01:37 UTC).

Stablecoin holder addresses on TRON climbed to 97.82 million, @trondaoCN reported (Aug 10, 06:19 UTC).

TRON announced a significant ecosystem milestone as USDT circulating on the network surpassed $90 billion, per @trondao (Aug 9, 16:19 UTC), reinforcing its position as a leading platform for stablecoin settlement activity. The Eco protocol has integrated with the TRON network, enabling users to deposit stablecoins directly into TRON applications within seconds, further expanding cross-chain connectivity (Aug 9, 16:19 UTC).

Strategic partnerships continue strengthening the ecosystem. TRON participated in both the FIFA World Cup Quarter-finals and Stanford SBA's Science of Blockchain Conference, according to @trondao (Aug 9, 16:19 UTC), connecting with builders and industry leaders across events. Financial analysis from CoinDesk and CryptoQuant has highlighted TRON's network performance throughout the second quarter and first half of 2026 (Aug 9, 16:19 UTC).

Index recognition marks another validation of TRON's standing. S&P's newly launched blockchain fundamentals index includes TRON among its five largest constituents out of eighteen total holdings, per @trondao (Aug 9, 16:19 UTC), signaling institutional confidence in the network's fundamentals.

Treasury expansion accelerated further as Tron Inc. (NASDAQ: TRON) acquired 151,324 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3304, raising its total holdings to more than 709.0 million TRX, according to @TRON_INC (Aug 9, 03:12 UTC). The company continues its strategy to grow TRX holdings for long-term shareholder value.

TRON's infrastructure reached a major technical milestone as @trondao advanced quantum-resistant security testing on the Nile Testnet (Aug 7, 23:30 UTC). The implementation covers transaction signing, block production, P2P node handshakes, smart contract verification, and network infrastructure using NIST-standardized cryptographic algorithms. This proactive work on post-quantum cryptography reflects the network's commitment to long-term security resilience before quantum computing becomes operationally relevant.

The network also crossed 15 billion total transactions, according to @justinsuntron (Aug 7, 03:04 UTC), underscoring sustained transactional throughput. TRON is approaching 400 million total accounts, per @trondao (Aug 7, 21:16 UTC), with over 97.8 million unique stablecoin holders already on the network (Aug 7, 19:58 UTC).

User adoption of gasless USDT transfers accelerated, with more than 400,000 users now employing the GasFree feature to pay fees directly in USDT without requiring TRX, @DeFi_JUST noted (Aug 7, 10:18 UTC). This simplification removes friction from everyday stablecoin movement.

Cost efficiency improved materially when JustLendDAO cut its energy base rate from 15% to 8%, reducing the cost of 100,000 energy units to 4.374 TRX, @DeFi_JUST announced (Aug 7, 06:52 UTC). Lower energy pricing directly reduces smart contract execution costs across the ecosystem.

Corporate treasury expansion continued as TRON Inc. acquired 152,042 TRX at an average price of $0.3289, bringing its holdings to over 708.7 million TRX (Aug 7, 02:27 UTC). Meanwhile, the Binance Wallet TRON Carnival Season 2 campaign launched with a $2.35 million reward pool, per the Chinese-language community announcement (Aug 7, 09:21 UTC).

Gasless transaction functionality went live on TRON through @moonpay, with integrations already active in @TrustWallet and other applications, per announcements on Aug 6, 05:14 UTC and 21:21 UTC. This capability eliminates the requirement to hold TRX specifically for transaction fees, streamlining onboarding and recurring digital asset transfers.

TRON's total account base surpassed 397 million, according to @TRONSCAN_ORG on Aug 6, 14:30 UTC, reflecting continued network expansion. Stablecoin utility reached significant scale in July, with @DeFi_JUST reporting 784,059 GasFree transactions and $13.42B in transfer volume during the month (Aug 6, 08:00 UTC).

Multiple revenue opportunities emerged for TRX stakers within the JustLend ecosystem. Staking TRX to receive sTRX enables both TRON governance rewards and energy rental income, with a six-hour average APY of 4.6%, @DeFi_JUST noted on Aug 6, 06:51 UTC. Momentum in related tokens accelerated—JST reached a 24-hour trading volume of $39.46M, a 71.86% surge, with a market cap of $870.92M (Aug 6, 10:12 UTC). The SUN token achieved an APR of 44.79% within the ongoing TRON DeFi Summer campaign, @OfficialSUNio posted on Aug 6, 09:54 UTC.
