Messari and CryptoRank Research highlight TRON's surging onchain activity

Aug. 8, 2024

Key Takeaways

TRON's daily transactions increased by 29% quarter-over-quarter.
TRON's dApps TVL ranks second among all blockchains with over $8.2 billion.

Geneva, Switzerland – August 7, 2024 – Messari, a leading provider of digital asset markets intelligence products, and CryptoRank, a leading crypto industry research & analytics platform, have released research reports highlighting the TRON network’s significant surge in onchain activity over six consecutive quarters. These reports highlight a continuous rise in network engagement and emphasize TRON’s robust, reliable technical architecture and impressive scalability.

Messari Research

Messari’s research report introduces TRON as a public, open-source blockchain network distinguished by its security and efficiency. TRON secures its network using a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism combined with the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) consensus algorithm. The TRON Virtual Machine (TVM), which is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), offers developers affordable and fast smart contract execution, further accelerating its adoption and utility in the blockchain ecosystem.

Key Analysis:

In Q2, TRON was one of the few smart contract platforms that saw increasing onchain activity.
Average daily transactions rose by 29% quarter-over-quarter, reaching 6.3 million, with June marking the highest monthly transaction volume of 2024 at 202.6 million.
Average daily active addresses grew by 31% quarter-over-quarter from 1.5 million to 2.0 million.
Average daily new addresses increased for the third straight quarter, up 12% QoQ from 177,200 to 198,000.
TRON’s circulating market cap increased for the sixth consecutive quarter.

The research from Messari concludes by adding that TRON DAO is actively expanding the TRON ecosystem with strategic initiatives such as the Grants Program, a $100 million AI development fund, and the HackaTRON series.

CryptoRank Research

CryptoRank’s research report provides an insightful analysis of the TRON network, highlighting its impressive technical capabilities. On TRON, blocks are generated every 3 seconds, with the network supporting up to 2,000 transactions per second. The report dives into the TRON architecture, detailing its three foundational layers. The Core Layer manages the consensus mechanism, accounts, and TRON Virtual Machine (TVM) and runs Solidity-based smart contracts. The Storage Layer optimizes data storage and segmentation, prioritizing security and stability. Finally, the Application Layer facilitates the creation of decentralized applications, making TRON a robust and scalable platform for developers and users alike.

Key Analysis:

TRON now holds the second place in dApps TVL among all blockchains with over $8.2 billion. It is important to note that TRON’s TVL, as well as most other indicators, barely correlates with market-wide fluctuations.
TRON shows outstanding performance in terms of user on-chain activity with over 181 million active addresses in Q2 2024, repeating its success from Q1.
TRON has gained over 274 million unique addresses, mostly represented by user accounts.

CryptoRank’s research concludes that TRON is a critical player in global crypto transfers. This widespread adoption extends beyond crypto-native users to businesses and e-commerce platforms worldwide. Looking ahead, TRON is set to enhance its capabilities through initiatives like Bitcoin Layer 2 integration and gasless stablecoin transfers, removing barriers and further solidifying TRON’s position as a leader in the blockchain space.
