Before stablecoins dominated crypto markets, the inefficiencies of traditional finance were already obvious.

• International transfers could take days

• Fees compounded across multiple intermediaries

• Access often depended on geography

• Settlement was far from instant

Blockchain networks emerged as an alternative settlement layer, programmable, borderless, and available 24/7.

Today, TRON DAO has become one of the primary networks for global stablecoin activity, consistently ranking among the leading chains by USDT circulation and transaction volume.

Where USDD Fits

USDD was launched in 2022 as a decentralized stablecoin within the TRON ecosystem.

Its structure is defined by several key principles:

• Issued as a crypto-backed stablecoin

• Built around an overcollateralization model

• Reserve assets publicly viewable on-chain

• Circulating across TRON and select external networks

Unlike custodial fiat-backed stablecoins that depend on bank-held dollar deposits, USDD relies on crypto collateral reserves managed transparently within the TRON DAO Reserve framework.

Collateral Structure & Transparency

The reserve model is designed with a clear objective:

• Maintain collateral value above circulating USDD supply

• Diversify backing assets

• Provide real-time transparency dashboards

• Reinforce peg stability during volatility

Collateral ratios fluctuate with market conditions, but the framework explicitly targets overcollateralization rather than fractional backing.

Adoption Context

TRON has recorded hundreds of millions of wallet addresses created on-chain and consistently processes high daily transaction volumes — particularly driven by USDT transfers.

Important distinctions:

• Total wallet addresses do not equal unique active users

• Daily transaction volume varies depending on market conditions

Within this high-throughput, low-fee environment, USDD benefits from:

• Fast confirmation times

• Low transaction costs relative to many major chains

• Established stablecoin liquidity infrastructure

Utility Within the Ecosystem

USDD functions as:

• A stable unit of account in TRON-based DeFi

• A liquidity asset for lending and trading

• A cross-border settlement tool

• A decentralized alternative to custodial stablecoins

Its usage is tied to real integrations across exchanges, DeFi platforms, and wallet applications connected to TRON.

What Makes It Structurally Distinct

1️⃣ Crypto-Backed Design

USDD is backed by crypto reserves rather than bank deposits. This introduces market exposure but removes reliance on a single banking jurisdiction.

2️⃣ Overcollateralization Target

Reserves are designed to exceed circulating supply, creating a structural buffer intended to support stability under stress conditions.

3️⃣ Public Reserve Visibility

Reserve data and collateral structures are trackable on-chain, enabling independent verification.

Why This Matters in 2026

Stablecoins are no longer experimental tools.

They are used for:

• Cross-border settlement

• Exchange liquidity

• DeFi collateralization

• On-chain payments

Evaluation now centers on fundamentals:

• Transparency of backing

• Collateral composition

• Liquidity depth

• Network scalability

• Historical resilience

USDD represents TRON’s decentralized approach to these criteria.

Not positioned as hype.

Not positioned as guarantees.

But as a structural model built within one of the most active stablecoin ecosystems in crypto.

Chiến lược “giao dịch 0 phí” mà Justin Sun thúc đẩy cho P-network không đơn thuần là một chương trình khuyến mãi ngắn hạn, mà là bước đi chiến lược nhằm giải quyết một trong những điểm đau lớn nhất của ngành: chi phí giao dịch cao làm giảm hiệu quả vốn của người dùng.

Trong nhiều năm, phí giao dịch luôn là nguồn thu chính của các sàn, nhưng đồng thời cũng trở thành rào cản khiến nhà giao dịch nhỏ lẻ mất dần lợi nhuận. Việc áp dụng mô hình 0 phí giúp hạ thấp ngưỡng tham gia thị trường, thu hút dòng người dùng mới, đồng thời kích hoạt lại thanh khoản cho một nền tảng từng có nền tảng lịch sử mạnh mẽ nhưng chưa được khai thác hết tiềm năng.

Ở góc nhìn sâu hơn, đây là sự chuyển dịch từ mô hình “kiếm tiền bằng phí” sang “kiếm tiền bằng hệ sinh thái”. Khi lưu lượng người dùng và dòng vốn tăng mạnh nhờ chính sách 0 phí, giá trị sẽ được tái tạo thông qua các mảng khác như blockchain TRON, stablecoin, DeFi, sản phẩm hợp đồng, và các dịch vụ tài chính on-chain. Quy mô hệ sinh thái càng lớn, khả năng tạo giá trị dài hạn càng cao, vượt xa lợi nhuận ngắn hạn từ phí giao dịch.

Chiến lược này không chỉ thể hiện định hướng lấy người dùng làm trung tâm mà còn cho thấy cách tiếp cận cạnh tranh ở cấp độ hạ tầng: dùng chi phí thấp để thu hút lưu lượng, dùng lưu lượng để mở rộng hệ sinh thái, và dùng hệ sinh thái để thiết lập lợi thế dài hạn trên thị trường toàn cầu.

I’ve spent enough time in Web3 to accept friction as part of the process.
Extra steps. Fragile workflows. Constant patching.
That changed when I began building with Banana King AI, SunGenX, and SunLumi together on @trondao and suddenly, the pressure eased.
▫️ From Constant Friction to Real Focus:
⤞Tools complemented each other instead of clashing.
⤞ Fewer breakdowns, smoother execution paths.
⤞ More energy spent creating, less spent fixing issues.
▫️ Why This Shift Matters for Builders and Creators:
⤞ Creativity flows when infrastructure becomes invisible.
⤞ AI agents that actually work reduce mental overhead.
⤞ Iteration becomes lighter, faster, and more enjoyable.
⤞ Building feels rewarding again, not exhausting.
▫️ #AINFT: Infrastructure Designed to Remove Barriers:
⤞ Established in Singapore on March 29, 2021.
⤞ Built natively on TRON, with BTFS integration.
⤞ Focused on empowering creators at the intersection of finance, culture, and the metaverse.
▫️ AINFT Marketplace: Scaling Without the Friction:
⤞ A core NFT marketplace within the TRON ecosystem.

@JustinSun

This is what adoption looks like when infrastructure aligns with real-world scale.
WalletConnect enabling TRON is not a surface-level update. It fundamentally expands how stablecoins and TRC20 DeFi move through the Web3 stack.
Let’s talk reach.
This connection opens TRON access across more than 600 WalletConnect-compatible wallets and over 70,000 decentralized applications. In practical terms, TRON payments and DeFi routes can now live inside products users already rely on, without asking them to change habits or add friction.
Zooming out makes the decision even clearer.
In 2025 alone, TRON handled roughly $7.9 trillion in USDT transfers. On a daily basis, stablecoin settlement on the network exceeds $21 billion. That level of throughput explains why this integration is strategic, not symbolic.
While many networks chase growth through short-term incentives, TRON grows through repetition. Payments, remittances, and everyday transfers happen again and again. WalletConnect acts as the bridge that embeds this behavior directly into wallets and applications by default.
The impact is already measurable.
Trust Wallet has recorded more than $20 million in related transaction volume since October. Binance Web3 Wallet sits above $3 million. SafePal has crossed $1.7 million. And adoption continues to expand through ecosystem platforms such as Sun.io, JustLend, Bridgers, Symbiosis Finance, and deBridge.
The takeaway is simple.
Stablecoins are moving into a “tap and send” phase. Connectivity is what separates theoretical infrastructure from infrastructure people actually use.
By bringing TRON into its network, WalletConnect moves the ecosystem closer to becoming the standard rail for fast, low-cost digital dollars.

@Justin Sun孙宇晨 @TRON DAO @undefined @TRON DAO @undefined

has moved beyond 12 billion total transactions and now supports the highest stablecoin settlement volume anywhere in crypto. At this magnitude, security stops being a reactive function and becomes a continuous, real-time requirement.
That context is exactly why the integration of is significant.
Rather than waiting for incidents to force change, TRON is reinforcing its security layer while activity is accelerating. Networks handling tens of billions in USDT flows every day cannot afford delayed visibility, and even fewer take steps to close gaps before problems surface.
In many ecosystems, safeguards trail user growth. Here, defense scales alongside adoption.
This is what mature, payment-ready blockchain infrastructure looks like when it’s built for long-term use, not short-term headlines.
#TRONEcoStar @justinsuntron @TRONDAO

just strengthened its data layer.
has rolled out live support for the HTX/TRX pricing pair, now actively supplying data to on-chain applications. This is not a cosmetic addition. It’s an upgrade to the reliability of TRON’s financial infrastructure.
Why this matters goes deeper than a single market pair.
Blockchains operate in closed environments. On their own, they have no awareness of prices, events, or conditions outside their network. Decentralized oracles solve this limitation by securely importing external information and making it usable by smart contracts without introducing trust risks.
When that layer fails, everything above it becomes fragile.
Collateral values drift.
DEX pricing becomes exploitable.
Derivatives and structured products lose settlement accuracy.
Reliable oracles aren’t optional. They are foundational.
With the introduction of HTX/TRX pricing support, WINkLink continues to broaden its coverage across TRON’s DeFi landscape, giving protocols access to dependable, manipulation-resistant market data.
What this unlocks
• More precise valuation for HTX-related trading, lending, and yield strategies
• Lower oracle exposure and improved safety margins for DeFi protocols
• Stronger support for new and expanding assets across the ecosystem
For builders, this means fewer assumptions and more certainty. For users, it means systems that behave as expected, even under stress.
WINkLink’s role is becoming clearer with every expansion. It’s not just supplying numbers. It’s anchoring trust for the next phase of decentralized applications on TRON.
Accurate data. Delivered on-chain. At scale.

As of January 2026, USDD on TRON continues to hold close to the one-dollar mark, supported by a circulating supply of approximately $855.65 million.

What keeps it stable is visible by design.

All reserves are recorded on-chain and can be checked by anyone at any time.

The system is built with more assets backing it than required, adding an extra layer of protection.

USDD operates natively across TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, making it practical for everyday DeFi use.

While many participants focus on volatility or fear sudden depegs, USDD offers something simpler. Predictability.

That stability does not mean idle capital.

On JustLend DAO, current supply mining for USDD (Phase XIII, January 3 to 31, 2026) offers an estimated 6% annual return.

Five percent is paid in USDD.

One percent is paid in TRX.

Funds remain flexible and can be withdrawn at any time.

This is not a short-term experiment.

USDD is a decentralized dollar system designed to last. Transparent reserves. On-chain governance. A track record that has held up since 2022.

No trust required. Everything is verifiable.

Explore the data directly at usdd.io.

@usddio

There’s no reliance on loud narratives.

No exaggerated promises.

No pressure to impress through optics.

Instead, the system operates with restraint. Reserves are handled carefully. Capital deployment is deliberate. Growth is allowed to unfold through consistency rather than urgency.

Returns aren’t extracted aggressively. Whatever value the protocol generates flows back in a balanced way to USDD and sUSDD participants across DeFi, reinforcing alignment instead of speculation.

This kind of design rarely grabs attention at first glance, but it becomes increasingly important as cycles evolve. While many protocols prioritize exposure before durability, this approach prioritizes staying power from day one.

Quiet discipline isn’t flashy.

But it’s often what survives.

@usddio

Measured execution. Tangible outcomes. Infrastructure steadily advancing.

The past week across TRON was defined by delivery, not drama. Instead of chasing attention, the ecosystem made progress where it matters most: DeFi mechanics, core infrastructure, AI tooling, and network accessibility. Growth showed up through usage and coordination, not headlines.

DeFi & Financial Rails

A major highlight came from JustLend DAO.

• The second JST repurchase and destruction cycle closed on January 15, permanently eliminating 525,000,000 JST from supply.

• USDD 2.0 Supply Mining Phase XIII reached its first reward claim window, maintaining momentum for stablecoin liquidity incentives.

• Biconomy Earn refreshed JUST lock-up offerings, temporarily featuring promotional yields reaching up to 500% APR.

At the network level, TRON crossed another scale milestone, with cumulative on-chain transfer volume moving beyond $24 trillion.

Network Data & Market Activity

• By January 15, BTT supply on JustLend DAO climbed past $1.89M, reflecting deeper BTT participation in lending markets.

• On January 16, WIN supply reached $606.66K, with borrowing activity remaining active on JustLend DAO.

• NFT markets also stayed active, recording $37.03M in volume and 349 transfers within a 24-hour window.

Oracle, AI & Core Products

• WINkLink expanded oracle coverage by deploying HTX price feeds, now live for the HTX/TRX pair and available for DeFi integrations.

• AINFT’s AI Service Platform entered its final testing phase, moving closer to public release and signaling progress toward AI-native tooling within the ecosystem.

Community & Ecosystem Momentum

• SUN introduced a “Chinese Name IP Guessing Campaign” as part of its broader brand refresh.

• The SUN.io New Year Trading Battle wrapped up, with results officially published.

• SunFlash Roundtables hosted discussions on on-chain trading performance, liquidity behavior, and potential directions for the next DEX cycle.

Access, Wallets & Derivatives

• MetaMask completed native TRON integration across web and mobile, significantly reducing onboarding friction for new users.

• TRX options went live on Deribit, extending TRON assets into established global derivatives venues.

Zooming Out

What defined the week was alignment.

→ Supply reduction progressing through JST deflation

→ Stablecoin and lending incentives continuing via USDD 2.0

→ Oracle, AI, and wallet layers expanding together

→ Network usage reaching new scale benchmarks

This is what a maturing ecosystem looks like. Less noise. More output.

More to come as TRON continues building.

That’s the direction AINFT has been moving toward, and the final stage is now in sight.

Following its transition from APENFT to AINFT in September 2025, the project has been methodically assembling an on-chain AI service layer built for developers, autonomous agents, and real-time blockchain interaction.

As of January 14, 2026, the platform has entered final testing, a strong indication that public release is approaching.

The Road to Launch: A Measured Countdown

Rather than rushing announcements, AINFT has taken a paced, transparent approach to rollout, bringing the community along step by step:

⤞Early January: progress surfaced at 92%, signaling core functionality in place

⤞January 13: momentum increased with a 98% milestone

⤞January 14: the message shifted to “one block remaining”, paired with a preview of the platform’s three foundational components and confirmation that launch is near

This steady progression reflects execution, not speculation.

What the AINFT AI Service Platform Brings

⤞ Native Web3 Architecture:

The platform is designed from the ground up for decentralization, prioritizing self-custody, on-chain logic, and direct integration with TRON wallets and decentralized applications.

⤞ Integrated Language Models:

Multiple on-chain LLMs enable natural interaction, data interpretation, content generation, and decision support, all without leaving the blockchain environment.

⤞ Developer-Focused AI Tooling:

AINFT introduces a suite of APIs that simplify the deployment of AI agents, on-chain analytics, automated strategies, and DeFi optimization, allowing builders to innovate without rebuilding core infrastructure.

▫️Why This Moment Matters:

⤞It completes the AI stack on TRON when paired with front-facing tools like SunAgent.

⤞It unlocks autonomous agents capable of managing assets, executing strategies, and participating in governance.

⤞It shortens development cycles through ready-made AI integrations.

⤞It expands the functional scope of NFTs and tokens beyond static ownership.

⤞It reinforces TRON’s position as a fast, cost-efficient foundation for AI-driven Web3 applications.

With final testing underway and progress effectively complete, the transition from development to deployment appears imminent.

The next phase of AI-native digital assets on TRON is close.

The question now isn’t if, but how it will be used.

@JustinSun

That assumption misses the bigger picture.

BTFS is quietly operating as a complete data infrastructure layer for Web3, and most users haven’t explored what it’s already capable of today.

After spending time digging into the protocol, one thing became clear:

BTFS isn’t built around features that are “nice to have later.”

It already ships with core capabilities that directly solve long-standing problems in decentralized storage.

Below are five underappreciated functions that show what BTFS is really designed to do:

1) Private Data on a Public Network Without Compromise.

BTFS doesn’t assume everything stored on a decentralized network must be public.

Its encryption framework allows users to store and share private files while still benefiting from a global peer-to-peer system.

Access control stays with the owner.

Under the hood, BTFS uses a hybrid encryption approach:

⤞Symmetric encryption protects the file itself for efficiency.

⤞Public-key encryption governs who can unlock it.

⤞No intermediaries.

⤞No centralized permissions.

Just encrypted data secured by cryptography and distributed nodes.

Developers can also integrate this system across multiple programming environments.

▫️Why it matters:

Decentralized storage finally supports real privacy, not just availability.

2) Native Connectivity to the BitTorrent Network.

BTFS isn’t isolated infrastructure.

It plugs directly into the BitTorrent ecosystem, meaning it can operate like a BitTorrent client and interact with one of the largest peer-to-peer networks ever created.

▫️This improves:

⤞Distribution speed.

⤞Network resilience.

⤞Data redundancy.

⤞Global availability.

Files aren’t static, they propagate efficiently across the network.

▫️Why it matters:

Storage is only useful if data moves reliably at scale.

3) Storage That Understands Smart Contracts, Across Chains.

BTFS blends peer-to-peer storage with blockchain logic.

By operating on BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and expanding multi-chain support over time, BTFS enables:

⤞On-chain verification of stored data.

⤞Cross-ecosystem compatibility.

⤞Deeper integration with decentralized applications.

⤞Your data layer isn’t trapped inside a single blockchain.

▫️Why it matters:

Infrastructure should adapt as ecosystems evolve, not lock users in.

4) Seamless Adoption Through AWS S3 Compatibility.

One of the most overlooked strengths of BTFS is how easily it fits into existing systems.

BTFS supports AWS S3-compatible APIs, allowing developers to connect Web2 applications to decentralized storage with minimal changes.

▫️It can function as:

⤞A primary storage layer.

⤞A decentralized backup.

⤞A redundancy solution.

All without rewriting entire architectures.

▫️Why it matters:

Decentralization works best when it integrates smoothly, not disruptively.

5) Human-Readable Metadata Anchored On-Chain.

BTFS doesn’t rely solely on cryptic identifiers.

It allows file metadata to be stored directly on the blockchain, making data:

⤞Easier to reference.

⤞Easier to audit.

⤞Easier for communities and developers to understand.

⤞Blocks can be scanned and interpreted using meaningful descriptions, not just hashes.

▫️Why it matters:

Usability is still a requirement, even in decentralized systems.

▫️Closing Thought:

BTFS isn’t trying to be “storage, but decentralized.”

It’s building a system where data can be:

⤞Encrypted and private.

⤞Distributed globally.

⤞Verified on-chain.

⤞Compatible with Web2.

⤞Understandable to humans.

All at once.

That’s infrastructure, not a feature set.

If you’re building with BTFS already, share what you’re working on.

If you’re not, this is worth bookmarking.

The surface has barely been scratched.

@BitTorrent_Official @JustinSun

Big step for TRON’s on-chain data layer.

With $HTX/TRX now live on WINkLink, builders and DeFi apps gain more reliable, transparent price feeds, exactly the kind of infrastructure long-term ecosystems are built on.

Clean data, stronger markets, better UX. This is how Web3 scales.

@WINkLink_Official @JustinSun

$TRX options are now live on Deribit, powered by Coinbase (Deribit)

bringing professional-grade derivatives access to the TRON ecosystem.

Traders can now access multiple expiries, from daily to quarterly, offering more flexibility and advanced risk management tools.

This marks another step forward in TRON’s integration with global financial infrastructure.
