TRON DAO and BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) have an exciting lineup of 50+ partners and judges for Season 3. This innovation event draws together crypto’s most prestigious institutions to offer their expert opinions on which project will most accelerate the growth of the TRON ecosystem. The Judging period will be between November 29 to December 12. Five winners will be selected from each track. The winners of Season 3 will be revealed on Friday, December 16.
Season 3 #HackaTRON has a total of six tracks: DeFi, GameFi, NFT, Web3, Ecosystem, and Academy with an aggregate distribution pool of $1.2 million.
The recently introduced Ecosystem track was created to attract Ethereum projects seeking to increase their impact. The focus of this season will be on cutting-edge, cross-chain solutions, and the widespread usage of blockchain technology. Due to its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), TRON has always enabled cross-chain capabilities. Developers now have more choices for deploying and interacting with other L1 blockchain ecosystems via the BTTC bridge.
The new Academy track was carried out via an in-person event that welcomed more than 200 university students from seven top-tier schools. The “Hacker House” was on the Harvard campus and hosted up-and-coming blockchain developers with various projects over the past weekend. Teams competed for a share of the $74,000 prize pool, which was allocated specifically for this track. A new initiative called the TRON Academy Program, which looks to establish blockchain partnerships on college campuses across the globe, officially launched with the Hacker House event.
The TRON Grand Hackathon, a.k.a. HackaTRON, provides developers with the tools they need to create and implement DeFi, GameFi, NFT, and Web3 decentralized applications (dApps). TRON hopes to build a sizable, worldwide blockchain community and is actively seeking developer teams who wish to build in the TRON and BTTC ecosystems.
About TRON DAO
TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps.
Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of November 2022, it has over 120 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 4.2 billion total transactions, and over $11.8 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed 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 in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which is the first time a major public blockchain partnering with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement 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, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.

The Blockchain Renaissance – AI, Infrastructure, and Eastern Europe’s Ascent
As we navigate through the intricate tapestry of blockchain and cryptocurrency, May 6, 2025, stands out as a day marked by significant strides in technology, infrastructure, and regional innovation. From the fusion of artificial intelligence with blockchain analytics to the strategic expansion of data centers, the landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Eastern Europe, particularly Romania, is emerging as a formidable player in the blockchain arena, leveraging platforms like Solana to drive innovation. Simultaneously, the integration of blockchain into warehouse operations signifies the technology’s permeation into traditional industries.
Arkham and Blockchair: Redefining On-Chain Transparency
In the realm of blockchain analytics, Arkham Intelligence and Blockchair are pioneering a new era of on-chain visibility. Arkham Intelligence, founded by Miguel Morel and backed by notable investors such as Sam Altman and Tim Draper, utilizes AI to deanonymize blockchain addresses, providing a clearer view of cryptocurrency flows. This approach, while enhancing transparency, raises questions about privacy and the balance between openness and confidentiality in the decentralized world.
Blockchair complements this by offering a comprehensive blockchain search and analytics engine, enabling users to explore transactions across multiple blockchains. Their tools facilitate a deeper understanding of blockchain data, empowering users to make informed decisions.

DMG Blockchain Solutions: Strategic Pivot Towards AI Infrastructure
DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. has reported its preliminary operational results for April 2025, highlighting a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company mined 30 BTC during the month, a slight decrease from March, attributed to increased network difficulty and a shorter month. Notably, DMG increased its realized hashrate to 1.93 EH/s, supported by the deployment of additional Bitmain S21+ Hydro miners.
In a significant move, DMG liquidated a portion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund the acquisition of 2 megawatts of prefabricated AI data center infrastructure. This investment marks a demonstrative shift towards utilizing returns from Bitcoin mining to fund AI capital expenditures, aiming to secure off-take agreements with high-value government and enterprise users seeking sovereign AI solutions in Canada.
