What is Tron (TRX) crypto?

Tron is a decentralized operating system based on blockchain technology. Tron Foundation launched the project in 2017. Its native token, TRX, was originally an ERC-20 token, but later it moved to its network. It trades on several exchanges like KuCoin, Binance, Bitfinex, etc.

It was initially created to provide full ownership rights to digital content creators. It helps content creators earn more by providing higher rewards for their work.

The TRON software supports smart contracts, blockchain systems, and decentralized applications (DApps). It uses a transaction model, UTXO, similar to Bitcoin (BTC). The users can track operation history as the transactions on the blockchain take place in a public ledger.
