They say if you can’t get there, you can’t make it anywhere. So the TRON DAO team gave Gotham a chance.

12 members of TRON DAO’s leadership team attended NFT NYC 2023. TRON was a platinum sponsor and three of our leaders – Dave Uhryniak, Feroz Lakhani and Jason Dukes – spoke on the main stage at the event. Uhryniak was part of a four-person panel that discussed “Decentralization through NFTs,” while Lakhani and Dukes had a fireside chat about “Navigating the Future: Pivoting to a Career in the Decentralized World.”

NFT NYC 2023 featured seven track options across eight stages – Art, Brands, Community, Entertainment, Future, Gaming and Legal. According to NFT NYC management, there were 1,300+ speakers, 6,000+ registered attendees, 18,000+ NFTs collected by attendees, 250,000+ tweets about #NFTNYC2023and 80+ sponsors who helped make it all happen.

So, what exactly did the TRON DAO team do at NFT NYC 2023?

In addition to enjoying delicious New York food, downing a couple of late-night cannolis, enjoying drinks over enriching conversations, and attending blockchain-sponsored events and concerts and art shows, they expended energy in the following ways:

Engage with participants to tell them the story of everything happening across the TRON network – Many were surprised to find out that TRON has the most user activity of blockchains

Connect projects and people to find potential partners to welcome into the TRON ecosystem – Many were impressed to find out that TRON moves more USDT than Ethereum

Representing the TRON DAO community with compelling communication from the main stage on topics that intrigued NFT and Web3 enthusiasts – Many were fascinated by the fact that TRON has the second most TVL among all blockchains

Forge interoperable partnerships with artists and builders who have thrived on other blockchains as we invited them to expand their reach on TRON – many were happy to hear that the BitTorrent chain bridges the gap between TRON and the Ethereum network and the Binance Smart Chain

Challenged NFT enthusiasts to take a look at the NFT opportunities in the TRON ecosystem – many were eager to discover all they could build with EVM compatibility and all they could share through the growing APENFT market

After four days “On the Town”, Leonard Bernstein would have been proud of how the news of TRON spread among the NFT NYC 2023 crowd.

About TRON DAO

TRON DAO is a community-run 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 deliver impressive performance since its MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services with over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained an incredibly good hold in recent years. As of April 2023, it has over 154.4 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 5.35 billion total transactions and over $12.2 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN.

In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoins worldwide, surpassing USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. As recently as October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, marking the first time a major public blockchain has partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s approval to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, has received statutory status as an authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
