About Tron (TRX)
Tron launched in September 2017 with a bold mission: free the internet from corporate control. That means giving content creators full ownership, cutting out middlemen, and building a new kind of web, powered by blockchain.
TRX is fast, efficient, and built for scale. Its network handles millions of transactions daily, making it a hub for stablecoin transfers and dApps, especially across Asia and emerging markets. Whether it’s streaming, gaming, or payments, Tron’s got its hands in the Web3 future.
While it doesn’t always grab headlines, Tron’s quietly built one of the most active chains in crypto. Less hype, more hustle.
It’s not only about decentralization, it’s about putting control back in the hands of the people who create and consume. And Tron’s been pushing that vision for years.

FAQs About TRX
What is Tron (TRX) used for?
TRX is the native token of the Tron network, a high-throughput blockchain built to support decentralized content, payments, and digital applications.
Here’s what TRX is used for:
- Paying transaction fees on the Tron blockchain (they’re tiny, by the way)
- Accessing dApps, DeFi platforms, and Web3 games built on Tron
- Fueling smart contracts and supporting NFT marketplaces
- Participating in staking and governance
- Sending value fast and cheaply, especially when moving stablecoins like USDT
Tron is more than hype, it’s one of the most actively used chains in the world, and TRX is what keeps it moving.
Who is the founder of Tron (TRX)?
TRON TRX was founded by Justin Sun, a name that’s hard to miss in crypto. Educated at Peking University and the University of Pennsylvania, Sun’s been in Web3 since day one. Before TRON, he worked as Ripple’s chief rep in Greater China, and by 2017, he launched TRON with the goal of decentralizing the internet.
Justin doesn’t exactly do subtle. He’s a marketing machine who once paid $4.6 million to have lunch with Warren Buffett. Love him or not, he built one of the most visible blockchain brands in Asia, and helped bring millions of users into crypto.
Tron launched its mainnet in May 2018, and it’s been growing ever since, with over 160 million accounts and billions in daily transactions,
What Makes TRON Unique?
TRON is built for digital content: movies, music, games, whatever. The idea? Cut out the platforms that take a cut and let creators interact directly with fans. It’s all about ownership and control, something centralized apps tend to monopolize.
The network is fast and cheap. TRON can handle thousands of transactions per second with near-zero fees. That’s why it’s become a go-to for stablecoin transfers (especially USDT) and global remittances, particularly in regions where banking access is limited.
It also runs its own smart contract platform, supports DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs, and even bought BitTorrent, folding one of the largest peer-to-peer networks into its ecosystem.
Some critics say it lacks transparency. Others call it underrated. But one thing’s for sure: TRON gets used, at scale, every day. That’s more than most projects can claim.
How to buy and store TRX in Plus Wallet?
Buying and storing TRX in Plus Wallet is fast, secure, and built for ease of use.
Here’s how it works:
- Open the Plus Wallet app and tap “Buy”
- Select TRX
- Choose your payment method (card, bank, or crypto)
- Confirm the purchase and your TRX shows up in your wallet instantly
Once you’ve got it, your TRX lives safely in your Plus Wallet, fully self-custodied, always accessible, and ready for swaps, sends, or staking (when supported). It’s crypto ownership made simple.
How cheap are TRX transaction fees?
TRX transaction fees are some of the lowest in all of crypto.
A typical transfer costs a fraction of a cent, literally. Most transactions on Tron use bandwidth and energy resources, which can often be earned or frozen through the network’s staking model, further reducing costs.
That’s why Tron is a favorite for:
- Microtransactions
- High-frequency traders
- Stablecoin transfers (especially USDT)
You’re not spending $10 to move $20. You’re spending almost nothing to move thousands. And that’s exactly how it should be.
How to swap Tron for USDT in Plus Wallet?
Swapping TRX for USDT in Plus Wallet is quick, secure, and takes just a few taps.
Here’s how to do it:
- Open Plus Wallet and go to the Swap tab
- Select TRX as the coin you want to swap
- Choose USDT as the token you want to receive
- Enter the amount of TRX you want to swap
- Review the rate and confirm the transaction
That’s it. No external exchanges, no bridge drama, and your funds never leave your wallet until the moment the swap goes through. Smooth, safe, and fully in your control
Why is Tron popular for stablecoin transfers?
Because it’s fast, cheap, and built for high-volume transactions. Exactly what stablecoins need.
Tron is one of the most used networks for USDT (Tether) transfers, especially in regions where speed and cost matter most. On-chain fees are a fraction of a cent, and transactions settle in seconds, not minutes.
That’s why:
- Exchanges use Tron for stablecoin withdrawals
- DeFi platforms support TRC-20 USDT
- Users in emerging markets rely on it for moving real value affordably
It’s not the flashiest chain, but Tron quietly dominates where it counts, stablecoin utility at scale.
What is Tron staking and its benefits?
Tron staking lets you freeze your TRX to earn rewards and participate in network governance.
When you stake TRX, you:
- Earn voting power to support Super Representatives (Tron’s version of validators)
- Collect staking rewards in the form of additional TRX
- Help secure and maintain the network’s performance
You’re not just holding your tokens, you’re putting them to work. And with Tron’s high throughput and low fees, staking is designed to be fast and user-friendly.
(Note: While staking is supported on the Tron network, it’s not currently available in Plus Wallet.)
