On the occasion of its eighth anniversary, TRON underwent a comprehensive upgrade of its brand logo. The new logo follows the design philosophy of "Bold Trust Boundary" and, through a more modern and concise visual language, showcases TRON's pioneering spirit and innovative vitality in the field of blockchain technology. With distinct lines and dynamic visual effects, the new design conveys a brand image of technology-driven openness and inclusivity, further enhancing global user recognition of TRON's brand.

In the stablecoin field, TRON has led the issuance of USDT, with a supply of nearly $80 billion, becoming a critical infrastructure in the global digital finance space, demonstrating unparalleled reliability and efficiency.

Over the eight years, TRON has achieved significant milestones in technical research and development, ecosystem development, community governance, and global influence:

● Technological Innovation: The TRON mainnet continues to be optimized, with transaction speed and throughput ranking among the industry's best, supporting AI upgrades and efficient blockchain solutions, providing developers with a low-cost, high-performance platform. In particular, initiatives such as AI integration and a 60% reduction in fees will further enhance network adoption rates.
