Tron blockchain
Tron - a blockchain, based on a decentralized database system that serves as a back-end for cryptocurrencies. Tron uses the features of blockchain and peer-to-peer (P2P) network technology to eliminate the middleman and allow content creators to sell their work directly to consumers. Software developers use the Solidity programming language to create applications, hosted on the Tron platform. The currency, used on the network, is Tronix or TRX. Network users use TRX to directly pay content creators to access their apps. Content creators do not pay transaction fees to Tron. (TRX transactions are also free on the platform.) Users can store their crypto assets in a desktop, mobile or hardware wallet. The Tron blockchain adds a new block every 3 seconds, and those who added a block receive 32 TRX tokens.
