TRON Partners with Chainlink as Silver Sponsor at SmartCon, Announces Integration of Chainlink Data Feeds

Geneva, Switzerland, November 6, 2024 — TRON's Founder Justin Sun delivered a key announcement at Chainlink’s SmartCon in Hong Kong, unveiling that Chainlink's Data Feeds would become the official data oracle solution for the TRON blockchain ecosystem. As part of TRON DAO's participation in Chainlink's Scale program, this partnership promises to elevate the DeFi ecosystem on TRON by enhancing data reliability and access to top-tier oracle services.

The Chainlink SmartCon, held on October 30-31, brought together leading blockchain innovators and financial institutions from around the globe. TRON DAO participated as a Silver Sponsor, using the event as an opportunity to highlight its growing decentralized ecosystem and showcase its role in empowering creators, developers, and users.

Key Announcements from Justin Sun’s Keynote

In his keynote speech, Justin Sun emphasized the significance of Chainlink’s industry-standard oracles in supporting TRON’s largest decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, including JustLend and JustStable. These two platforms alone account for over $6.5 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL). Sun noted that the collaboration with Chainlink will enable TRON developers to leverage secure, high-quality oracle services, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of off-chain data for their applications.

As part of TRON’s involvement in the Chainlink Scale program, TRON will initially cover certain operational costs for the Chainlink oracle network, such as transaction gas fees. Over time, these costs are expected to shift to be fully supported by decentralized application (dApp) user fees, further driving the sustainability of the ecosystem.

TRON’s Growing Ecosystem and Vision for the Future

Justin Sun also highlighted the impressive growth of the TRON blockchain, with over 270 million global user accounts and 8.8 billion transactions completed to date. In Q3 2024, TRON saw record revenue of $577 million in protocol fees.

Looking ahead, Sun outlined TRON’s roadmap, which includes exciting initiatives such as a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution and gas-free stablecoin transfers. These developments are set to enhance accessibility, improve user experience, and foster greater blockchain adoption—providing new opportunities for developers and projects on the TRON blockchain.
