This young man created the\u00a0<b>Tron foundation<\/b>. It is a\u00a0<b>non-profit company<\/b>\u00a0based in Singapore from which the entire Tron network has developed. Justin Sun not only created Tron, but is also considered the main Ripple engine.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning the platform had a great acceptance. In 2017 was launched an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) that created\u00a0<b>100 billion TRX<\/b>\u00a0and collected a total of<b>\u00a070 million dollars<\/b>. In 2018 the cryptocurrency increased its price by 480% in a week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_does_tron_work\"><\/span><b>How does Tron work?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other digital content platforms, Tron is an open source project that, unlike other social networks, does not decide which publications we would like to see and which not. Its goal is to promote decentralized entertainment content. The main feature of this platform is the\u00a0<b>freedom<\/b>\u00a0that offers its users.<\/p>\n<p>Tron works with the\u00a0Proof of Stake so,\u00a0his cryptocurrency\u00a0<b>cannot be mined<\/b>\u00a0This can be achieved by\u00a0this mechanism\u00a0or in Exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Going deeper into the blockchain we see that it uses the\u00a0<b>peer-to-peer(P2P)<\/b>system. This with the aim of bridging the gap between the content creator and the user without the need for a mediator. Consequently, the\u00a0<b>costs decrease<\/b>\u00a0allowing creators to receive\u00a0<b>more rewards<\/b>\u00a0and the users to\u00a0<b>pay less<\/b>\u00a0for the contents.<\/p>\n<p>The technology used by this project guarantees a\u00a0<b>high decentralization<\/b>, because Tron is divided into three layers:\u00a0<b>Application, Storage and Core<\/b>. Each has features defined and separated from the rest.<\/p>\n<p>The project is expected to reach full maturity by 2025. Until then, Tron has developed into several\u00a0<b>phases<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exodus Phase: Establish the basis of Tron\u2019s technology.<\/li>\n<li>Odyssey Phase: Will focus on user rewards based on their ratings.<\/li>\n<li>Phase Voyage and Apollo: Will allow content creators to develop their personal brands and issue their own tokens.<\/li>\n<li>Star Trek and Eternity Phase: Extension of TRON functions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another element to highlight within this ecosystem of digital entertainment is that of<b>\u00a0Tron\u2019s DApps\u00a0<\/b>. Most of the Dapps available in TRON are games and trading platforms that are attracted by the high levels of performance and\u00a0<b>scalability<\/b>\u00a0of the protocol that uses Tron.<\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"trx_wallets\"><\/span><b>TRX Wallets<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When buying TRX you will need a wallet that supports this cryptocurrency to store it. For this you have to keep in mind that it must meet certain requirements such as admission<b>\u00a0of tokens ERC-20<\/b>. A simple and intuitive interface is also recommended. Last but not least, security. You must have control of your private keys.<\/p>\n<p>There are many options to choose from, but there will always be some that will better fit your needs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the options is the\u00a0<b>Atomic Wallet<\/b>. This desktop wallet creates and stores our private keys ensuring the safety of our assets.<\/li>\n<li>Another of the best known options is\u00a0<b>Ledger Nano S<\/b>, a hardware portfolio that guarantees the security of our cryptocurrencies.<\/li>\n<li>Finally we have the\u00a0<b>Exodus wallet<\/b>. This wallet supports a large number of cryptocurrencies and also has an easy-to-use interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"image_1507036316\" class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\">\n<div class=\"img-inner dark\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-1024x701.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-1536x1052.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-2048x1403.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"Wallets de Tron TRX Bitnovo\" width=\"1020\" height=\"698\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-1536x1052.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-2048x1403.jpg 2048w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Que-es-tron-1024x701.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"price_of_trx\"><\/span><b>Price of TRX<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>TRX had very low prices, especially at the beginning.
