TRON [TRX] – A week ago, TRON launched Odyssey 2.0[1]. This product launch has been far overdue, as TRON’s ICO was completed back in early September 2017. The project raised the $70 million to expand its developer base to help build out the Tron ecosystem.
The Tron Foundation, based in Shanghai, released its test net[2] just two months ago. Since the test net the team has released various projects centered around building the Tron community and the Tron blockchain. Let’s get into them and some of the drama.
Can You Keep Up?
First, there was the Justin Sun and Vitalik Buterin conflict[4] started by Sun He posted a Tweet explaining why TRON was better than Ethereum. Buterin wasn’t having ANY of it and shot back with the plagiarised whitepaper claims. Any publicity is good publicity – right? It concluded with this tweet.
Thanks for the reply of @VitalikButerin . #TRON benefits a lot from #eth and #eth inspires us to make a better decentralized platform. If you are more familiar with #TRON you will know we have launched testnet (Mainnet 5/31)and are more than white paper writing. #TRX $TRX https://t.co/GVHqWRTeNP[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

The next venture on the team was the ‘super election[14]‘ they would be holding that handles the ‘governance’ of the TRON blockchain. Many companies that participate in the Tron ecosystem could join the election and the community would vote for the representatives that would guide the Tron ecosystem
