Meanwhile, Tron has the second-highest TVL among blockchain networks, with $5.61 billion locked on 22 protocols.

Sun said:
“This increase isn’t just a measure of quantity, but also a testament to the quality and efficiency of our network. The growth in transactions is expected to bolster protocol revenue, proving that TRON‘s fundamentals remain strong even in a challenging market.”
Tron has been involved in several activities to increase its usage since the beginning of the year. On May 7, the network urged meme coin developers to use its ecosystems to develop their tokens while offering up to $1 million in reimbursements for trading gas fees.
Earlier, the blockchain launched a $100 AI development million fund to encourage developers to create applications on its network using tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
