TRON DAO recently launched the TRON Academy initiative to empower young blockchain enthusiasts from world-class universities around the world. Creators are welcome to take advantage of early development opportunities in the TRON ecosystem. Partnerships have been developed with existing blockchain clubs and coaching support is available for students interested in starting new clubs on their campus.
TRON Academy’s industry-leading curriculum provides comprehensive blockchain education for the next generation of leaders. Students are encouraged to build blockchain solutions that offer more than just everyday utility. TRON DAO executives are also challenging university blockchain clubs to recognize the life-changing opportunities that decentralized applications could offer. Instructions are provided that equip and empower development teams to innovate and update new technologies. The hope is that resources will be created that are both essential to a decentralized future and fun in a blockchain-based Web3 world.
Blockchain clubs currently partnering with TRON Academy are thriving on seven university campuses:
- Cornell Blockchain (Cornell University)
- Blockchain at UCI (University of California at Irvine)
- Texas Blockchain (University of Texas at Austin)
- Boston Hacks (Boston University)
- Princeton Blockchain Club (Princeton University)
- Dartmouth Blockchain (Dartmouth University)
- Michigan Cryptocurrency Investment Club (University of Michigan)
The TRON Academy was officially launched on November 12-13, 2022 as part of the “Hacker House” event of the TRON Grand Hackathon 2022 on the Harvard University campus. Over 270 university students formed multiple development teams that worked all weekend to build decentralized applications (dApps) on TRON and BitTorrent Chain. The winners shared a prize pool of $100,000. However, the ultimate winners were all teams who returned to their respective campuses to experience an enriching community with their blockchain clubs.
On November 29, 2022, a TRON Academy workshop hosted by the Texas Blockchain Club in partnership with TRON DAO was held at the University of Texas at Austin. A mix of non-technical and technical components of the TRON blockchain was discussed. TRON DAO leaders have welcomed UT Austin students into the TRON ecosystem, some for the first time and others as a strategic next step. The students were also supported in creating their first smart contract on the TRON Virtual Machine and deploying their first dApp.
Workshops like this one will be held on other campuses as the TRON Academy program grows. It aims to partner with more and more university blockchain clubs around the world via this intentional, four-pronged approach:
- Internship and recruitment opportunities will be available, both with projects in the TRON ecosystem and with partners connected to the TRON DAO.
- Co-development of the community will be the focus as TRON DAO leaders help with meetings, resources and hackathons so clubs and teams can continue to attract interested innovators.
- Co-development of crypto projects will also be a priority, as the TRON DAO team will provide coaching on strategy and development, connections for pre-seed and seed funding, and collaboration on research papers and projects.
- The endowment fund of the TRON Academy supports the financing of research and development as well as scholarships at partner universities.

About TRON DAO
TRON DAO is a community managed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.
Founded in September 2017 by HE Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to achieve impressive success since the launch of MainNet in May 2018. In July 2018, BitTorrent was also integrated into the ecosystem, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services with over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of December 2022, it has a total of over 126 million user accounts on the blockchain, more than 4.3 billion total transactions, and over $9.5 billion in total locked value (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. Additionally, TRON hosts the world’s largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-managed DAO. In May 2022, the over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin USDD was launched on the TRON blockchain, backed by the first-ever crypto reserve for the blockchain industry – TRON DAO Reserve, marking TRON’s official entry into decentralized stablecoins. Most recently, TRON was named the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica in October 2022, marking the first time a major public blockchain has partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. In addition to the government’s approval of the issuance of Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have received legal status as an authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
