TRON participated in ETHConf, held June 8–10 in New York, organized by @ETHGlobal.

Beyond the main conference, TRON DAO also expanded its presence throughout the week by hosting a dedicated TRON Academy Happy Hour alongside the ETHGlobal New York 2026 hackathon (June 12–14), further strengthening its focus on developer engagement and ecosystem growth.

Through TRON Academy, the initiative continues to support blockchain education and student-led innovation across a growing global university network, including institutions such as Princeton University, Imperial College London, Yale University, Columbia University, Harvard University, MIT, Cornell University, UC Berkeley, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Dartmouth College, among others.

This continued on-the-ground presence reflects a broader push to bridge academia and real-world blockchain development, helping cultivate the next generation of Web3 builders.

This isn’t just another governance update it’s a small but meaningful expansion of how liquidity moves inside DeFi.

JustLend DAO has opened Proposal #40, and at the center of it is a simple idea: bring $U into the lending layer and make it productive across the ecosystem.

If it passes, $U won’t just sit as a stable asset it becomes active capital inside the protocol.

Here’s what changes in practice:
Instead of being idle, $U can be supplied to earn yield, or used as collateral to unlock other assets.

That shifts it from “holding value” to “deploying value.”

The proposal also tightens the mechanics that make this work safely:
• U/TRX price oracle integration keeps pricing grounded
• jU support extends compatibility across smart contracts
• 75% collateral factor balances borrowing power with risk control
• 10% reserve factor strengthens protocol sustainability

It’s not flashy. But it’s structural.

Every DeFi ecosystem matures at the point where stable liquidity stops being static and starts being composable. This proposal pushes that direction a step further.

If approved, it quietly increases depth, improves borrow flexibility, and strengthens liquidity efficiency across JustLend DAO.

Most posts about $BTT sound like they’re trying to explain the past.

But the real story is forward facing and it’s simpler than people think.

$BitTorrent is no longer just a legendary file sharing protocol. It’s becoming one of the quiet engines of decentralized infrastructure, where data doesn’t sit in one place it moves, replicates, and earns value as it flows.

What makes $BTT interesting isn’t hype. It’s positioning.

For years, the internet scaled through central servers. Now it’s shifting toward networks that can distribute load instead of accumulating it.

That’s where $BitTorrent’s design becomes relevant again not as nostalgia, but as infrastructure logic that finally matches today’s data demands.

Within the $BitTorrent ecosystem, every connected user strengthens the network instead of draining it. That alone flips the traditional cloud model on its head.

And with $BTT inside the BitTorrent Token economy, participation isn’t passive anymore. Bandwidth, storage, and availability become measurable contributions not hidden costs.

The $TRON integration adds another layer. Fast settlement and low fees make micro incentives actually usable at scale, which is where most decentralized systems usually break down.

This is where it gets interesting:
Not “BitTorrent is growing.”

But “BitTorrent is quietly becoming usable infrastructure again at internet scale.”

That’s a very different category of relevance.

If the next phase of Web3 is about real-world throughput, data, AI pipelines, distributed storage then protocols that already survived global-scale demand don’t need reinventing.

They just need reactivation.

#TRONEcoStar

Last week, the development of #TRONEco continued unabated.

What truly drives an ecosystem forward has never been fleeting hype, but rather sustained construction and iteration.

✓ @OfficialSUNio announced the list of winners for the TRON Eco Star in May 2026, paying tribute to the projects and community members who contributed to the ecosystem’s growth.

✓ #JustLendDAO revealed that the ETHB market is about to usher in a new upgrade, further optimizing the DeFi experience.

✓ @BitTorrent announced that the BTTC Bridge will cease operations in phases, paving the way for future development directions.

✓ @WinkLink_Oracle added support for $KGST price data, continuously expanding the coverage of the oracle network.

✓ @AINFTcom officially integrated with Bitget Wallet, allowing more users to conveniently experience the fusion of AI and Web3.

Looking back on this week, it’s not hard to see:
The growth of a mature ecosystem does not rely on a single event, but comes from every upgrade, every integration, and every step of continuous progress.

As infrastructure continues to improve and application scenarios keep diversifying, the value of the ecosystem will also be released accordingly.

Construction is still ongoing, and the story is far from over.
Follow #TRONEco for more developments and witness the ecosystem’s sustained growth.

#TRONEcoStar @DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron

Change is a natural part of every mature DeFi ecosystem.

As markets evolve, protocols adapt and that’s exactly what’s happening with the ETHB market on JustLend DAO.

Supply and Borrow functions for ETHB have now been disabled.

While no new ETHB lending or borrowing positions can be opened, existing positions remain fully supported, giving users ample time to manage their assets during the transition period.

Moments like these highlight an often overlooked aspect of DeFi:
Sustainability matters just as much as growth.

Responsible adjustments, clear communication, and orderly transitions are what separate resilient protocols from short-lived experiments.

If you currently hold ETHB positions, now is a good opportunity to review your portfolio and make any necessary adjustments while support remains available.

Building a healthy ecosystem isn’t only about adding new markets it’s also about knowing when and how to optimize existing ones.

Transparency and risk management continue to be fundamental pillars of decentralized finance.

@DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron

#TRONEcoStar

Growth only becomes meaningful when it expands what users can actually do with the system.

That’s the real signal behind sUSDD crossing $20M TVL on @pendle_fi.

On the surface, it’s a liquidity milestone. But underneath, it reflects something more important: increasing participation and confidence in structured yield markets within the ecosystem.

Even more interesting is what’s happening on the infrastructure side.

With the integration of the @Morpho PT-sUSDD/USDT market into the Gauntlet USDT Frontier V1 Vault, capital efficiency is being pushed further especially in an environment where borrowing conditions still allow for optimized positioning.

This isn’t just more liquidity sitting idle. It’s liquidity being actively directed into different risk and yield profiles.

Users now have multiple strategic paths:

• Fixed yield (PT) around 7.74% for more predictable returns
• Liquidity provision around 6.99% APY for balanced exposure
• Yield leverage (YT) higher upside potential around 9.95%

What matters here isn’t just the numbers, but the structure behind them.

Because DeFi maturity isn’t defined by TVL alone it’s defined by how many meaningful ways capital can be deployed within the same ecosystem.

And sUSDD is gradually evolving into that kind of system: one where users aren’t just depositing funds, but actively choosing how those funds behave over time.

That shift from passive liquidity to programmable capital allocation is what turns growth into infrastructure.

So while $20M TVL is a strong milestone, the more important story is what it enables next:

more strategies, more flexibility, and more efficient use of capital across different risk preferences.

In that sense, the growth isn’t just accumulation.

It’s expansion of possibility.

@USDD - Decentralized USD @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

The next phase of AI competition is shifting away from access and moving toward something more fundamental: sustainable scale.

B.AI’s introduction of Custom Provider Mode reflects this shift in a very practical way. Instead of locking developers into a single cost structure, it introduces flexibility in how AI infrastructure is consumed.

For builders, this addresses a long-standing trade-off in the space:
reliability versus cost efficiency.

Now, the platform separates those needs into two clear modes:

• B.AI Official Mode
Designed for production-grade workloads where stability, uptime, and consistent API performance are critical. It provides direct access to official model endpoints for mission-sensitive applications.

• Custom Provider Mode
Built for flexibility and cost optimization, offering up to 80% reductions depending on provider selection making experimentation, testing, and scaling significantly more accessible.

On top of that, additional incentives such as top-up bonuses (including up to 1:1 credit matching) further extend usable compute capacity, effectively increasing iteration cycles within the same budget.

The deeper implication here is not just cheaper usage it’s expanded experimentation.

And in AI development, iteration speed is often more important than raw capability.

More affordable compute leads to more testing.
More testing leads to faster refinement.
Faster refinement leads to better agents.

This is why the competitive focus in AI is gradually shifting.

It’s no longer just about who has access to models.

It’s about who can deploy them efficiently, repeatedly, and at scale without running into cost bottlenecks.

Because in the Agentic era, infrastructure economics directly shape innovation speed.

And platforms that reduce friction at the cost layer are effectively increasing the pace of progress itself.

In that sense, lowering costs is not just optimization.

It’s acceleration.

@BAI_AGI @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

AI is entering a more practical phase of development.

For years, the focus was on model performance who had the largest models, the strongest reasoning, and the most impressive outputs.

But that phase is gradually giving way to something more important:
execution.

What’s happening around B.AI this week reflects that shift clearly. The Agentic Economy is no longer just a concept it is starting to operate in real environments.

With over 1.9 million users and growing, the real signal is not the number itself, but what’s happening beneath it:

• Developers are building automated workflows
• Users are combining multi-model strategies for real tasks
• Agents are beginning to interact with wallets, APIs, payments, and even other agents

In other words, AI is shifting from something you interact with to something that acts on your behalf.

To support this shift, B.AI is assembling a full execution stack:

• Privacy-first model access
• Intelligent routing across multiple AI models
• BAIclaw multi-agent framework
• MCP integrations
• Wallet-native payment systems
• Protocols designed for autonomous execution

The goal is not to replace human creativity, but to extend it by enabling software to execute tasks, coordinate actions, and generate value at scale.

At the ecosystem level, momentum is also building:

• The “Justin Sun in AI” showcase is rewarding real use cases with $1,500 USDT incentives
• Community campaigns continue to encourage practical experimentation
• BNB Chain ecosystem incentives are supporting early-stage AI applications

Across all of this, a clear transition is taking place:

Chatbots → Agents
Prompts → Workflows
Isolated tools → Connected systems
Applications → Intelligent economies

And as this shift accelerates, the competitive focus is moving away from model size toward execution capability.

Because in the next phase of AI, the key question is no longer “What can it answer?”

It becomes “What can it do?”

@justinsuntron @BAI_AGI #TRONEcoStar

The competition in AI infrastructure is quietly entering its second half.

In the past, the industry's focus was on "model capabilities"—the stronger the model, the greater the advantage.

But as the ecosystem matures, a more practical question is emerging:
How to achieve greater usage value at a lower cost.

The "Choose Your Own Provider" model launched by B.AI is, at its core, a response to this very issue.

It no longer locks developers into a single API system, but instead offers more flexible options.

Currently, it mainly falls into two modes:

• Official Mode
Direct connection to the original factory API, emphasizing stability and consistency—better suited for high-concurrency scenarios and core business systems, ensuring reliable output.

• Choose Your Own Provider Mode
Flexible selection based on different suppliers, offering up to about 80% cost optimization—better suited for testing, experimentation, and rapid iteration scenarios.

On top of that, it layers in incentive mechanisms like recharge bonuses (up to 1:1 matching), further amplifying the available resources under the same budget.

This means developers can, on the same platform:
Make more attempts and iterations at a lower cost.

From a practical standpoint, the changes this structure brings are evident:

• Reduced cost of trial and error
• Faster iteration speed
• More flexible resource allocation

More importantly, it breaks a long-standing constraint:
Compute power is no longer a fixed cost, but an adjustable resource.

When cost is no longer the primary bottleneck, the focus of innovation shifts back to "creation itself."

As AI enters the Agent era, the real competition isn't just about advancing model capabilities—it's about whether the infrastructure is flexible, efficient, and sustainable enough.

Because what ultimately determines how far the industry goes has never been the ideas themselves, but the cost structure for bringing those ideas to life.

@BAI_AGI @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

The excitement around events like the World Cup should come from the pitch, not from payment friction in the background.

Fans already deal with enough complexity travel, logistics, tickets, timing. Payments should be the easiest part of the experience, not another hurdle to navigate.

That’s where integrations like @uquidcard and $TRON become meaningful in practice.

Instead of treating digital assets as something separate from everyday life, they help bridge the gap between on-chain value and real-world spending. Whether it’s buying essentials, booking services, or securing match tickets, the focus shifts from “how do I pay?” to simply “paid.”

And that shift matters.

Because the real measure of crypto’s progress isn’t how sophisticated the underlying system is it’s how invisible it becomes to the end user.

When payments stop feeling like a technical process and start feeling like a normal part of daily life, that’s when the technology has effectively done its job.

The strongest infrastructure doesn’t compete for attention.

It quietly enables experiences people already care about like being in the stadium, focused on the game, not the transaction behind it.

@TRON DAO @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

The most important conversations in crypto rarely revolve around short-term price movements.

They tend to focus on something more durable: direction.

So it’s notable to see H.E. @justinsuntron scheduled to speak at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong an event that consistently brings together the people building at the intersection of infrastructure, adoption, and real-world utility.

What makes gatherings like this meaningful is the shift they represent.

The industry is no longer centered on debating if digital assets matter. That question has largely been answered through years of experimentation, usage, and gradual institutional entry.

The focus has moved elsewhere:
• How systems scale to millions of users
• How infrastructure supports real economic activity
• How accessibility reduces friction for global participation
• How stablecoins and blockchain rails integrate into everyday finance

In that sense, conferences like Bitcoin Asia aren’t just showcases they’re coordination points for ideas that are actively being shaped into production systems.

And as the space matures, the most impactful discussions are increasingly about execution rather than theory.

Because the next phase of crypto won’t be defined by concepts alone.

It will be defined by what gets built, adopted, and used at scale.

@justinsuntron @TRON DAO #TRONEcoStar

Opportunities like this tend to move fast precisely because they reward something simple: actual usage.

The B.AI FCFS campaign is structured around real interaction, not abstract participation. If you’ve already been using the platform whether through the web app, API integrations, or workflow experimentation you’re essentially already part of the pool.

What makes this interesting isn’t just the reward structure, but the behavior it encourages:
• Real usage instead of passive interest
• Practical experimentation instead of speculation
• Sharing real workflows instead of surface-level engagement

That’s also why these campaigns usually fill quickly. They don’t require learning something new they just convert existing activity into measurable participation.

At a broader level, it reflects a shift happening across AI tooling and Web3-adjacent ecosystems: value is increasingly being tied to demonstrated usage, not just attention or awareness.

So for anyone already building or testing with B.AI, the key step is simple document what you’ve already done and submit it while slots are still open.

Because once a FCFS system closes, the only thing left is hindsight.

@BAI_AGI @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

14.3M daily transactions is no longer just a milestone it’s a workload signal.

At that level, activity stops being something you point to as “growth” and starts becoming something closer to infrastructure pressure. It reflects continuous, system-wide usage rather than isolated bursts of demand.

Because what sits inside those numbers isn’t abstract:
• Real-time payments moving across regions
• Stablecoin transfers settling global value flows
• DeFi protocols executing without interruption
• Applications running continuously in the background

That’s what high-throughput networks eventually evolve into not experimental systems, but active settlement layers under constant load.

And the key shift is perception.

At lower scale, transactions are events you count.
At this scale, they become background processes you assume will always be there.

That’s usually the moment a network transitions from “adoption narrative” to “operational infrastructure.”

So the real question does change.

It’s no longer just about whether usage is increasing.

It becomes about how the ecosystem adapts when that baseline continues to rise and what new constraints, efficiencies, and optimizations emerge from sustained demand at internet scale.

@TRONSCAN_ORG @TRON DAO @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

Most people don’t adopt new financial systems because they understand them in detail.

They adopt them when the benefits become obvious enough to outweigh the effort of staying with the old way.

Not technical improvements. Not architectural debates. Just simple, practical outcomes:
Can I move money when I need to?
Can my assets do more than sit idle?
Can I access financial tools without friction or permission barriers?

That’s where JUST becomes relevant not as an abstract piece of DeFi infrastructure, but as a usability layer that makes on-chain finance feel closer to everyday finance.

Because users rarely care about how decentralized something is in theory.

They care about whether it works when it matters.

And in that sense, the real competition in DeFi isn’t complexity versus simplicity.

It’s friction versus access.

Systems that reduce steps, remove blockers, and turn idle assets into usable capital tend to stick—not because they’re more advanced, but because they’re more usable.

That’s also where adoption actually begins to compound.

Not when people are convinced by ideas.

But when they stop needing to think about the system at all.

@DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

At a certain point, growth stops being the main story.

What matters instead is what gets refined, what gets removed, and what gets expanded into more useful forms.

That’s what the latest signals from the BitTorrent ecosystem point to.

With over 580M+ node and client installations globally, the scale is already established. That kind of footprint doesn’t come from short-term attention—it comes from long-term, repeated usage across time.

But scale alone isn’t the interesting part anymore.

What stands out is how the system is being reshaped:
• A phased shutdown of the BTTC Bridge, signaling a controlled transition in cross-chain design
• $BTT gaining new lending exposure through listings like @CoinRabbitLoans, expanding where the asset can actually be used

Together, these changes tell a simple story.

The focus is shifting from expansion to refinement.

Because mature ecosystems don’t grow by adding endlessly—they evolve by tightening structure, improving utility, and removing what no longer serves the next phase.

That’s usually the point where infrastructure becomes more important than innovation.

Not because things are slowing down, but because they’re being aligned for long-term efficiency.

And in decentralized systems, that kind of discipline often matters more than speed.

@BitTorrent_Official @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

Gas fees usually go unnoticed.

Until they stop getting in the way.

That’s why the latest upgrade on TokenPocket feels more important than it looks on the surface:
• Free transfer allowance has been doubled
• Gas-free stablecoin transfers are now easier across supported networks

On paper, it’s a small improvement.

In practice, it changes behavior.

Because when sending money no longer comes with a cost decision, people stop thinking twice before using it.

Payments become instant.
Transfers become routine.
Everyday usage starts to feel normal.

No fee calculations.
No hesitation at checkout.
No mental friction between deciding and acting.

And that’s where the real shift happens.

Adoption doesn’t scale because systems become more complex.
It scales because barriers quietly disappear.

The end state isn’t a feature-rich experience.

It’s an invisible one—where value moves as naturally as sending a message.

That’s the direction crypto UX is heading:
less resistance, more flow, and near-zero friction between intention and action.

@USDD - Decentralized USD @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

Most people think the hardest part of building a product is getting attention.

But attention is only the beginning.

The real challenge is staying useful.

A lot of platforms attract curiosity for a moment, only to be forgotten when something new appears. The ones that last are different. They solve real problems, make life easier, and become part of people’s daily routines.

That’s why projects like JUST stand out.

It’s not trying to be complicated. It’s helping people make better use of what they already have, giving them more ways to participate and more opportunities to put their assets to work.

Little by little, barriers are reduced.
Processes become simpler.
And what once felt unfamiliar starts feeling natural.

That’s how adoption happens.

Not through endless explanations.
Not through hype.

But through tools that quietly deliver value every day.

Because the moment people stop asking how something works and simply trust it to work, that’s when technology becomes infrastructure.

And the strongest infrastructure is often the kind you barely notice—until you realize how much you depend on it.

The future belongs to solutions that make things easier, more accessible, and more useful for everyone.

What role do you think practical financial tools will play in bringing more people on-chain?

@DeFi_JUST @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar

Most system failures don’t start with bugs.

They start with overlooked updates.

A deadline gets pushed aside.
A migration gets postponed.
An old integration is assumed to keep working.

Until one day, it doesn’t.

That’s why this update from B.AI deserves attention.

🚨 Legacy API Keys will be fully deprecated in just 7 days.

📅 Deadline: 2026-06-22 23:59 (SGT)

After that:
• Legacy keys will stop working
• API requests will fail
• Existing integrations will be disrupted if migration hasn’t been completed

This is no longer a transition period.

It’s a final cutoff.

If you’re still using legacy keys, now is the time to act:
✓ Generate new API keys through the B.AI Console
✓ Update your integrations
✓ Complete migration before the deadline

The good news?

The process is straightforward.

The challenge is simply making sure it gets done before it becomes urgent.

Because in production environments, the biggest risks are often the easiest to prevent.

A few minutes of preparation today can save hours of troubleshooting tomorrow.

Don’t wait for an outage to remind you.

Take action now and keep your systems running smoothly.

Have you completed your migration yet?

The future of Web3 won’t be shaped by technology alone.

It will be shaped by the people who learn, build, and turn ideas into something real.

That’s why initiatives like #TRONAcademy are so important.

During @ETHGlobal New York week, something bigger than code was on display.

Curiosity.
Collaboration.
And a shared desire to create.

From first-time participants exploring new possibilities to experienced developers refining their skills, every conversation, workshop, and connection contributed to something meaningful.

Because ecosystems don’t grow through announcements alone.

They grow when people show up, learn, experiment, and build.

Every question asked sparks a new perspective.
Every lesson learned opens a new opportunity.
Every builder adds strength to the community.

And the most exciting part?

The next wave of innovation is already taking shape.

Not somewhere in the future.
Right now.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the experience memorable.

The journey continues, and the next chapter is waiting to be built.

What’s the most valuable lesson or connection you took away from the event?

#TRONEcoStar

@TRON DAO @justinsuntron

History shows that people rarely stay loyal to trends.

They stay loyal to convenience.

The platforms that last aren’t always the ones making the most noise. They’re the ones that consistently solve real problems.

Think about it.

When people need access to capital, they don’t search for the latest narrative.
When they want to make their assets more productive, they don’t care about hype.

They simply want tools that work.

That’s why JUST continues to play an important role within the TRON ecosystem.

Not by demanding attention.

But by providing access.

Access to lending.
Access to borrowing.
Access to capital efficiency.
Access to financial opportunities that traditional systems often make unnecessarily complicated.

And that’s how adoption really happens.

Not through excitement alone.
But through repeated usefulness.

One decision at a time.
One transaction at a time.
One user at a time.

Markets will change.
Technology will evolve.
New stories will come and go.

But utility has a habit of surviving every cycle.

Because when a product becomes genuinely useful, it stops feeling like innovation and starts becoming part of everyday life.

And the ecosystems that focus on solving problems today are often the ones still growing tomorrow.

What’s your favorite feature of JUST within the TRON ecosystem?
