TRON Proposal
Tether (USDT) is a technical standard token, and it works based on TRON’s network or blockchain, using an address that belongs to TRON. As a result, all transactions using the TRC20 occur on the TRON network.
Due to the network’s limited capacity, other transactions will have to wait longer when there are many low-value transactions in a queue. Hence the dynamic energy model needs to activate without impacting other dApps. To increase the cost of using these few popular contracts and promote the usage of these contracts to return to normal.
However, while the crypto community stated about the USDT transaction issue, Tether claims that, “Tether will burn 2B USDt on Ethereum accrued in the treasury wallet as part of past period chain swaps. The Tether total supply will not change during this process”.
Despite this, TRON (TRX) price surged around 24% in the preceding month. And has a market cap of $5 billion, which increased by 2% in a day. At the time of writing, TRX traded at $0.064543, which rose about 2% in the last 24 hours.
Moreover, on February 6, 2023, Bitfinex, Keet, Synonym, and Tether pledged 5 million TRY for Turkiye’s earthquake recovery.
