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.

Building Customer Trust in AI with Blockchain

Blockchain is emerging as a critical tool in addressing the trust deficit in artificial intelligence. By leveraging decentralized ledgers, companies can provide transparent data provenance, ensuring that AI algorithms operate ethically and without bias. This integration allows customers to verify the origins of data used in AI models, fostering greater confidence.

Businesses deploying blockchain for AI governance must prioritize simplicity and accessibility in their implementations. While the technology’s potential is immense, it is essential to communicate its benefits in a manner that resonates with non-technical stakeholders.

Blockchain at a Crossroads: Balancing Promise and Peril

As blockchain technology matures, it finds itself at a crossroads. On one side, the promise of decentralization continues to captivate industries, offering solutions for supply chain management, finance, and digital identity. On the other, challenges such as regulatory scrutiny, scalability issues, and energy consumption threaten to impede its growth.

The path forward will require a concerted effort from developers, regulators, and industry leaders. Collaborative frameworks that address these challenges while preserving blockchain’s core principles of decentralization and transparency are key to ensuring its sustained relevance.
