Technological Innovation Drives a New Chapter in Web3: TRON Gold Sponsor of ETH Beijing Hackathon 2025

From May 16 to 18, the global blockchain developers' attention converged in Beijing for the grand opening of the ETH Beijing Hackathon 2025. As a highly influential Ethereum technology event in the Chinese-speaking region, this hackathon is co-hosted by the Peking University Blockchain Association (PKU Blockchain DAO) and the Web3 Open Source University WTF Academy, attracting numerous developers with innovative projects focusing on cutting-edge tracks such as public goods and AI + blockchain. TRON appeared as a gold sponsor, showcasing its industry-leading capabilities with outstanding technical strength and ecological layout. The exciting speeches from TRON and BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) representatives ignited enthusiastic discussions about the TRON ecosystem on-site.

Technology and Ecology Drive Together, TRON Defines a New Benchmark for Public Chains

Since its establishment by Justin Sun in 2017, TRON has been committed to building an efficient and low-cost blockchain infrastructure. TRON industry researchers elaborated on the core advantages of the TRON public chain during their speeches: utilizing a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, with a block time of just 3 seconds and a theoretical peak TPS exceeding 2500, allowing for zero transaction fees on ordinary transfers. This high-performance architecture has positioned TRON at the forefront of payment, DeFi, and stablecoin scenarios. As of May 2025, the total number of user accounts on the TRON chain has surpassed 307 million, with a total transaction volume exceeding 10.3 billion and a total locked value (TVL) reaching $23 billion, firmly maintaining its leading position among public chains.

In the stablecoin sector, TRON is undoubtedly the leader. The circulation scale of USDT-TRC20 on the TRON chain exceeds $75 billion, accounting for about 50% of the global USDT supply, processing tens of billions of dollars in transfers daily, and becoming the preferred network for over-the-counter trading and emerging markets. Researchers emphasized that TRON, in collaboration with the T3 Financial Crimes Unit (T3 FCU), froze over $126 million in involved funds, demonstrating its responsibility in the compliance and security of stablecoins. TRON's DeFi ecosystem is also thriving, with JustLend's total locked value nearing $6 billion, and products like SUN and JustStables accounting for nearly 80% of TRON DEX's trading volume, creating a mature financial ecosystem.

TRON's efforts in industry innovation are also relentless. TRON has actively promoted Real World Assets (RWA) on-chain, collaborating with Brazil to issue the BRL stablecoin MBRL; in the AI + blockchain field, TRON has established a $100 million AI fund, attracting numerous developers to the AI track of the Grand Hackathon; in cooperation with sovereign nations, TRON has partnered with the government of Dominica, being designated as its national public chain to empower the digital economy transformation. These initiatives not only enrich the TRON ecosystem but also provide a broad platform for Web3 innovation.

BTTC Cross-Chain Empowerment, TRON Connects to the Future of Web3

As an important pillar of the TRON ecosystem, BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) has garnered significant attention at the ETH Beijing Hackathon 2025. BTTC representatives detailed the unique advantages of BTTC as a cross-chain scaling solution. BTTC employs a three-layer architecture (root contract layer, validation layer, production layer), supporting interoperability among mainstream chains such as TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, and is EVM-compatible, allowing developers to seamlessly migrate DApps. BTTC transaction confirmation time is only 2-3 seconds, with transaction costs as low as $0.01, combined with TRON zkEVM testnet's zero-knowledge proof technology, providing high-performance options for high-frequency trading, DeFi, and NFT scenarios.

The spokesperson pointed out that BTTC's decentralized cross-chain infrastructure ensures the security and efficiency of cross-chain asset transfers through 1:1 asset mapping and an automatic reception model. Currently, BTTC supports cross-chain mapping for over 100 types of tokens, with more than 37 million active users in the ecosystem, and partners including QuickSwap and SushiSwap. BTTC also offers cross-chain SDKs and open-source smart contract templates as developer-friendly tools, lowering the development threshold and facilitating the rapid deployment of Web3 applications. The BTTC community calls on developers to join the BTTC ecosystem to collaboratively build a multi-chain interconnected Web3 future.

The ETH Beijing Hackathon 2025 is a feast of technology and creativity, where TRON, as a gold sponsor, showcases its strong capabilities through a high-performance public chain, a leading stablecoin market, a mature DeFi ecosystem, and BTTC cross-chain solutions. TRON not only injects innovative momentum into the hackathon but also promotes deep connections between university students and the Web3 industry through collaboration with PKU Blockchain DAO, facilitating cross-chain cooperation between the Ethereum ecosystem and the TRON ecosystem.

Looking ahead, TRON will continue to delve into areas such as AI, RWA, and Web3 identity, working hand in hand with global developers to write a new chapter in the digital economy driven by blockchain technology.
