TECHNOLOGY

TRON's Technical Architecture

TRON operates using a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism managed by 27 Super Representatives (SRs). These SRs are elected by TRX token holders and are responsible for validating transactions and producing blocks. TRON supports Solidity smart contracts via its TRON Virtual Machine (TVM), making it compatible with Ethereum dApps. The network features TRC-10 (basic tokens) and TRC-20 (smart contract tokens) standards. TRON also acquired BitTorrent in 2018, expanding into peer-to-peer file sharing.
