TRON DAO was founded by Justin Sun as an open-source blockchain platform compatible with Ethereum smart contracts.

TRX serves as the network's native currency, used for rewards, staking, DeFi collateral, and NFT marketplace accounting. Google Cloud participates in the ecosystem as a super representative.
TRON DAO hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT), exceeding $85 billion. As of March 2026, the network had over 368 million total user accounts, more than 13 billion total transactions, and over $23 billion in total value locked.
TRON DAO is affiliated with T3 Financial Crime Unit, a body launched in September 2024 alongside Tether and TRM Labs to combat illicit activity associated with USDT on the TRON blockchain. T3FCU reported in May 2026 that it had frozen more than $450 million in illicit crypto assets globally since its launch.
TRON DAO's founder, Justin Sun, along with Tron Foundation Limited and related entities, was charged by the SEC on March 22, 2023, with unregistered offers and sales of TRX and BTT and alleged fraudulent manipulation of the secondary market for TRX through wash trading. The SEC alleged Sun directed more than 600,000 TRX wash trades and generated $31 million from illegal, unregistered offers and sales of TRX. Per The Wall Street Journal, the SEC moved in March 2026 to dismiss its civil fraud lawsuit against Sun, and a company allegedly controlled by Sun agreed, without admitting or denying wrongdoing, to pay a $10 million fine to resolve the SEC allegations, subject to court approval.
