TRON has designed a hybrid storage model that ensures efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness for Web3 applications.
🔹 Two storage paths:
- On-chain storage for critical, permanent data
- Off-chain storage via BTFS for large files and metadata
🧩 On-chain storage includes:
- Account balances
- Transaction records
- Smart contract states
➡ Immutable, transparent, and verifiable through TronScan.
🌐 Off-chain storage with BTFS handles:
- Images, large files, NFT metadata
➡ Distributed, low-cost, and Web3-ready. Smart contracts store only the hash/CID, while the actual file resides securely on BTFS.
⚖️ Why this design matters:
- On-chain ➝ guarantees permanence and security
- Off-chain ➝ reduces costs and prevents blockchain bloat
💡 This balanced approach empowers TRON to support large-scale Web3 ecosystems such as NFTs, gaming, and DeFi, while maintaining speed and reliability.
