TRON is a blockchain-based entertainment content sharing platform that aims to transform the global entertainment industry. Launched in 2017 and with a stated aim to “decentralise the web,” TRON aims to allow users to create and publish content without the need to use centralised service — and without needing to hand control of their content over to major entertainment companies like Google, Apple or Facebook.
It was built in response to the perception that users are losing control of the Internet, with social media giants, advertisers and other large sites taking control. By using blockchain technology and its peer-to-peer benefits, TRON aims to cut out the profit-taking middlemen and allow content creators to connect directly with consumers.
TRON (TRX) is the 18th largest cryptocurrency in the world by market cap, valued at $6,192,800,428. The current price of TRON is $0.067475, which is 4.414% higher than yesterday. Prices have ranged between $0.068624 and $0.06442 over the past 24 hours. All prices are listed in US dollars and accurate as of February 08, 2023 02:02 UTC.
ADA is the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain. The primary use of the coin lies within the network's proof-of-stake mechanism.
This involves token holders locking away (staking) ADA coins to validate transactions and secure the blockchain.
A transaction fee must be paid in ADA when using the Cardano blockchain. This allows validators in the network to complete the transfer within Cardano's settlement layer (see below for more details). All applications that are built on the Cardano blockchain will use ADA for transactional fees.
The coin also carries monetary value and, therefore, can be used to transact between friends, pay for goods and services and deposit funds on an exchange or decentralised application.
The supply of tokens is capped at a maximum of 45 billion ADA. Cardano is being built with two layers – the Cardano Settlement Layer and the Cardano Computation Layer. The two layers provide the flexibility businesses need to tailor smart contracts to their requirements.
Instead of using a proof-of-work consensus algorithm like Bitcoin, Cardano uses a proof-of-stake algorithm called Ouroboros. Under this system, blocks are generated and transactions verified by slot leaders, or validators. Anyone who holds ADA tokens can become a slot leader, with slot leaders randomly chosen using a coin-flipping protocol.
