Factors that can propel further growth

Furthermore, another major announcement was also made by Sun on 5 April 2023. As per his latest tweet, TRON and Bittorrent were looking for ways to bring zkEVM into the ecosystem.

Additionally, he stated that any integration plans are still in the exploratory stage and that there is no assurance they will be put into action.

#TRON and #Bittorrent are exploring ways to integrate the ZK Ethereum Virtual Machine (ZKEVM) into its ecosystem. ZK-EVM is a trustless and secure smart contract execution environment that leverages zero-knowledge proofs to ensure the privacy of the transaction data. 🚀

TRON burn reaches a new milestone

While TRON’s ecosystem continues to grow, the network has also remained consistent with its token burn rate. As per TRON DAO’s latest tweet, the network has burned more than 16 billion TRX tokens to date.

🔥According to @TRONSCAN_ORG, the total number of #TRX tokens burned has now surpassed 16B, reaching 16,000,333,074 #TRX!

In less than two months, over 1 billion $TRX have been burned.

This was a major achievement considering the token’s deflationary characteristics. However, the increased burn didn’t have a substantial positive impact on the token price. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.06655 with a market capitalization of over $6 billion.

Positive sentiments around TRX were also high, thanks to its recent achievements. TRX’s development activity was looking upwards, which was, by and large, a positive signal.
