Tron is the celebrity of the fast-expanding crypto world, becoming one of the top ten coins by capitalization within a year of its launch, signing partnerships in quick succession and moving full-speed ahead as one of the early torchbearers of the Decentralized Web. The ambitious blockchain-based global content-sharing platform is directly challenging the likes of Facebook, YouTube, Netflix and monopolistic incumbents, aiming to transfer power to digital content providers. Tron CEO Justin Sun is a protégé of billionaire Alibaba founder Jack Ma and has half a million Twitter followers. The company has attracted substantial media attention, including for its alleged whitepaper plagiarism and code theft.

Tron is making the right noises, adding 100 million BitTorrent users to the platform and launching a world-first indie game. A successful MainNet launch with a block height of 3 million in just 109 days and election of 27 Super Representatives notwithstanding, Tron is on a roll. Can TRON Decentralize the Web? A Guide to Everything You Want to Know About TRON traces the revolutionary platform's path and offers a balanced view into its future potential.
