Recently, TRON’s founder Justin Sun and TRON have made a succession of big moves. An announcement came on September 20 that VanEck TRON ETN (VTRX) was officially listed on Deutsche Börse Xetra. Later on October 30, TRON released another piece of breaking news that it officially launched the cross-chain scaling solution BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) test network.

A string of big moves have put Justin Sun under the spotlight again. In effect, every new move taken by Justin Sun, who is known as the barometer of the industry, is well-thought-out and forward-looking. The cross-chain scaling solution BTTC launched this time will be the antidote to the greatest pain in the blockchain industry now — the lack of cross-chain scalability.

It is known that BTTC is the first scalable heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol in the TRON ecosystem, and it is compatible with TRON, Ethereum and BSC. It will also support HECO and OEC in the near future. Moving forward, BTTC is poised to provide more mainstream blockchains across the globe with a scaling solution and deliver heterogeneous cross-chain communication that is decentralized and free of trust, ushering in a new era of “connecting all chains”.

This is undoubtedly an unprecedented surprise for the blockchain industry. Today’s rapidly-growing blockchain industry is teeming with public chain projects. However, most of these projects fail to be interconnected owing to incompatible technologies, ecosystems, and competition, which leads to the isolation of users, assets, applications, and data, altogether curbing the growth of the industry as a whole. A cross-chain solution has become the key to the growth of this industry.

Apparently, Justin Sun, a person famous for his vision, woke up to this issue quite early. As a matter of fact, Justin Sun and TRON also came to grips with this issue early and have made sufficient preparation. In June 2020, Justin Sun stated in the announcement on v4.0 upgrade of TRON’s public chain that TRON introduced the brand-new TICP cross-chain protocol, marking TRON’s protocol entering into the cross-chain era. The slots of three public chains will be open to developers around the world as a gesture to encourage their participation in TRON’s research and development in the cross-chain field so that they can make joint efforts to boost the cross-chain technology.

BTTC, on the other hand, is the building block for Justin Sun to roll out his ambitious blueprint of connecting all chains in the cross-chain field. As BTTC becomes compatible with more public chains, the information and asset barriers among them will be broken down in the future, enabling the free flow of data and value. This is going to be TRON’s opening shot in achieving the goal of connecting all chains.

The forward-looking layout in the blockchain field and the following implementation cannot be made possible without Justin Sun’s persistent efforts in the public chain field. Thanks to Justin Sun’s nose for the market, TRON has gone from strength to strength and has established itself as one of the top players in the public chain field.

According to public data, the number of its public-chain users has exceeded 58 million, while its TVL has exceeded $11.5 billion. Meanwhile, the number of total transactions is going to surge past the 2.5 billion mark. Its ecosystem now covers projects in over ten fields, including stablecoins, DeFi, storage, cross-chain assets, oracles, anonymous transactions, social-networking, games, and NFT.

After three years’ efforts, Justin Sun has emerged as the leading light in the blockchain industry, and TRON, under his leadership, has also come out on top, becoming one of the three biggest public chains in the world. Justin Sun aspires to crack the cross-chain problem, drive the building of a multi-chain ecosystem, and inaugurate a new era of connecting all chains in the future. These are also the great missions shared by the blockchain industry. The launch of the cross-chain scaling solution BTTC by TRON can further solve the cross-chain problem and create an opportunity for the layout in the blockchain ecosystem to be reshaped.
