Tron is a blockchain-based, decentralised platform that aims to build a free-to-use, global digital content system. The cryptocurrency for the Tron network is called Tronix (TRX). TRX can be used by content consumers to pay for content they access, and the content producers would be rewarded with this cryptocurrency. TRX is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in terms of trading volume, especially across Asian exchanges. The founder of Tron, Justin Sun, is a flamboyant cryptocurrency influencer and a key force behind the popularity of Tron. He famously secured a lunch with Warren Buffet for a record price of US$4.6 million, viewed by many as a publicity stunt.
