The history of Tron
The first mentions of the TRON cryptocurrency appeared in August 2017. Justin Sun, a Chinese entrepreneur, decided to create a decentralized platform where some users could upload their own entertainment content, while others could use these products for free or for a fee.
It was based on the idea of direct contact between creators of games, social networks, instant messaging and other applications and users, without going through intermediaries such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, etc.
Initially, TRON was created on the Ethereum blockchain, however, after the completion of the ICO in late spring 2018, the cryptocurrency was "moved" to its own blockchain.
TRON is a cryptocurrency that had one of the most profitable and high-profile ICOs in 2017-2018. In total, 100 billion tokens were issued, which were distributed according to the following scheme:
● Sale to investors through ICO – 40%;
● TRON Reserve Fund: 35%;
● Presale – 15%;
● Peiwo Foundation (an app owned by Justin Sun) – 10%.
The main stage of the ICO was preceded by a presale. The main stage of the initial coin offering began on August 31, 2017. The creator set a Hardcap (maximum raising amount) of $70 million, which was successfully closed. Unfortunately, the exact amount that the team managed to raise as a result of the ICO has not been reported
