CoinGate, the online crypto platform that provides merchant services to businesses and individuals recently announced the addition support for TRON (TRX) allowing merchants who use the gateway to accept TRX payments. Apparently, CoinGate decided to add TRX due to the increasing adoption of blockchain technology and developments made by the TRON Foundation.
TRON is a blockchain platform launched as the foundation for a decentralized entertainment ecosystem. The platform basically focuses on expanding the market of decentralized digital content apps by making it easier to create and deploy them. The TRON Foundation has made quite bold and major steps towards the promoting the adoption of blockchain technology.
One major development made by the TRON Foundation is the improvement of software infrastructure with effective scalability, accessibility, efficiency and performance. The TRON blockchain consumes less energy due to the fact that it is based on Proof-of-Stake rather than Proof-of-Work.
The platform’s processing speed is another of its unique features. The TRON blockchain is able to process 2,000 transactions per second compared to other platforms such as Ethereum, which currently has a network capacity of 15 transactions per second.
Just like its rival, Ethereum, TRON provides the ability to build smart contracts, deploy DApps and issue custom tokens on its network. TRON has shown great ambition towards rebuilding the World Wide Web and creating mass adoption of the blockchain technology, an attribute that makes the coin’s future very promising.
