TRON TRX
Transfers and applications.
TRON is a public blockchain for token transfers and smart-contract applications. TRX is its native coin.
What is TRON?
TRON lets applications and users share a public blockchain. Transactions use network resources called Bandwidth and Energy. TRX can pay for resources and can be staked for resources and voting rights.
Tokens on TRON are separate assets from TRX. Check the asset and network; resource costs and staking withdrawal rules also matter.
