TRON Mainnet Launches Four Major Upgrades, Justin Sun's Vision for Ecosystem Development Takes Shape
Following this upgrade, the TRON ecosystem will see enhancements in usability, compatibility, scalability, and network performance, significantly promoting its sustained growth and prosperity.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsOn July 1, TRON launched its mainnet upgrade—GreatVoyage-v4.7.2 (Periander). This upgrade introduces multiple new governance proposals and several key improvements, enhancing the TRON ecosystem in usability, compatibility, scalability, and network performance, significantly promoting its sustained growth and prosperity.
Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON and global advisory board member at Huobi, stated that TRON will continue to increase investment in ecosystem development, attracting more developers, capital, and users to co-build the ecosystem, incubating high-quality projects and maximizing public and ecological value. Meanwhile, TRON will strengthen infrastructure and DeFi ecosystem construction, steadily advancing toward its vision of enabling financial freedom for all 8 billion people worldwide.
Four Major Upgrades
The TRON mainnet upgrade primarily includes: upgrading the Stake 2.0 mechanism, supporting Ethereum EIP-3855, optimizing smart contract calling interfaces, and comprehensively upgrading the P2P network module.
According to the update details, the Periander version adds two governance proposals related to Stake 2.0 staking. The first allows users to cancel initiated but incomplete unstaking requests, improving flexibility in the staking mechanism. The second enables users to customize the lock-up period for resource delegation, letting users set delegation durations based on their needs, making the TRON staking system more flexible and convenient.
In terms of ecosystem compatibility, the Periander version introduces a new governance proposal to support Ethereum EIP-3855. This ensures compatibility between TRON and Ethereum at the virtual machine level and helps reduce deployment and usage costs for TRON smart contracts. It will attract more developers to the TRON ecosystem and enhance interoperability between TRON and Ethereum ecosystems.
A TRON spokesperson noted that improved compatibility between the two major blockchains will benefit more developers and users in asset circulation, technological integration, and reduced migration costs.
This upgrade also optimizes the triggersmartcontract and triggerconstantcontract smart contract calling interfaces, enabling fee estimation for smart contract deployment transactions. This makes it easier for developers to deploy and develop smart contracts, greatly enhancing development convenience. This improvement will allow developers to work more efficiently, accelerating the creation of high-quality DApps and enriching the TRON ecosystem.
On the network infrastructure front, the Periander version delivers a comprehensive upgrade to TRON’s P2P network module, introducing four new features: pre-checking for pending connection nodes to avoid invalid requests and improve connection efficiency; discovering active TRON network nodes via DNS protocol to meet node joining demands, significantly enhancing network accessibility; supporting IPv6 protocol, providing room for future Java-tron network architecture expansion; and enabling compressed message transmission, greatly reducing Java-tron’s bandwidth consumption and lowering node operation costs. These enhancements will improve the stability, reliability, and transmission efficiency of the TRON network, offering solid infrastructure support for ecosystem innovation.
A Key Step in Ecosystem Development
This TRON mainnet upgrade marks a crucial step in realizing Sun Yuchen’s vision for ecosystem advancement.
On June 25, TRON celebrated the fifth anniversary of its mainnet launch—the TRON "Independence Day." Over the past five years, according to the latest data, TRON has grown to over 169 million users globally, processed more than 6 billion transactions, and achieved a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $12.5 billion, ranking second in the industry, just behind Ethereum.
Leveraging its strengths, TRON has built a robust on-chain ecosystem spanning key sectors such as NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, stablecoins, the metaverse, cross-chain solutions, and DID. Most notably, TRON has established a comprehensive stablecoin ecosystem including USDT, USDC, TUSD, USDJ, and USDD, covering high liquidity, regulatory compliance, decentralization, and high collateralization. TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USDT globally—over $46 billion—accounting for 60% of the market share, making it the industry leader.
With hundreds of millions of users and dominance in mainstream stablecoin circulation, ecosystem prosperity is a natural next goal for TRON. Therefore, continuously providing inclusive and user-friendly infrastructure for users and developers is a prerequisite for thriving growth—and the core motivation behind this major mainnet upgrade.
Recently, Sun Yuchen emphasized during a TRON community seminar that TRON will accelerate internationalization and compliance efforts, actively promote ecosystem growth, expand across various industry sectors, and implement long-term initiatives in education, environmental protection, and artificial intelligence. The ultimate goal is to build a financial freedom hub within the metaverse and contribute to achieving financial freedom for 8 billion people globally.
Sun also stated that as one of the world’s leading blockchain infrastructures, TRON remains committed to ecosystem innovation and upgrades. With the release of the Periander version, TRON will see improvements in usability, compatibility, and scalability. Going forward, TRON will continue delivering superior blockchain experiences for developers and users, deepen integration with other blockchain ecosystems, and drive the collective prosperity of the global blockchain industry.
