The Spaces recapped a busy week for the Tron ecosystem and the Mega Team community. Host Sunny D, with co-hosts Trav and Bigoso, framed the value of building through quieter market phases and highlighted TRX’s resilience versus majors during retracements. Core updates covered Tron’s stablecoin rail leadership (≈83.3B USDT on Tron; ~30–33B daily volume on peaks), strong network metrics (≈361M accounts, >25B TVL, $24.3T total transfer volume), and a run of integrations: WalletConnect (600+ wallets, 70k dApps, access to 40M POS terminals), Blockaid security, MetaMask native support, and dBridge growth. Additional notes included Tron Inc’s ongoing TRX treasury buys (≈677M TRX, staked via sTRX), TRX options listing on Deribit (speaker speculation noted), BTFS v4.0 momentum with daily BTT incentives, and the unified Sun brand suite. Community spotlights featured TronScore’s proof-of-attendance plans, ScoreMilk tournaments, and Ben’s mention of an AI service platform enabling pay‑as‑you‑go access to GPT/Gemini/Claude with TRX. Bigoso shared community activations (boxing streams) and an ambitious Madrid event targeting 80–100k attendees with city support and prospective partners. The session closed with calls to engage via the Mega Team app, upcoming spaces, and continued developer integrations.

Tron Community Mega Space # 82 — Full Session Notes and Highlights

Hosts, Guests, and Roles

  • Host: Sunny D
  • Co-host: Trav (often referred to as “Trav”/“Traveling”)
  • Co-host/Contributor: Big Oso (also appears as “Bigoso”/“Big oh” in transcript)
  • Guest: TronScore (community builder/social media manager speaking on behalf of project; Thomas not present)
  • Community contributor: Ben
  • Mentioned but did not speak: Gordian, Prof

Opening Context and Framing

  • Weather/snowstorm check-in (US): Hosts and audience dealing with heavy snow and ice; many businesses closed; power outages across multiple southern states. Key point: decentralized, global finance continues to function despite local disruptions, highlighting crypto’s resilience.
  • Building during the “quiet” phase: The team emphasized staying consistent and building when hype is low to be prepared for the next cycle. Practice, network cultivation, and staying engaged across crypto and AI conversations were a recurring theme.

State of the Tron Ecosystem (Reporting, Metrics, and Performance)

  • Industry recognition: Multiple year-in-review data/analytics reports (e.g., Messari and others as cited by the host) highlight Tron’s strong 2025 performance, especially around stablecoin rails (notably USDT).
  • USDT on Tron:
    • Supply reported as ~83.3B USDT on Tron.
    • Peak daily volume cited around $33B (e.g., on the 20th), hovering near $30B with weekend slowdowns.
    • Wallet distribution is broad, with active wallets ranging roughly from $100k to $10M—indicative of widespread commercial and remittance usage.
  • Network/user metrics cited by host:
    • Total accounts: ~361M
    • Total transactions: ~12.8B
    • TVL (on-chain): >$25B; generally on an upward trajectory with cyclical dips; ~50% of TRX market cap reportedly locked (cited ~$13.6B TRX locked), implying stronger protocol stability (including 14-day unbonding friction).
    • Total transfer volume mentioned in the trillions cumulatively; 24h transfer volume cited ~ $10.8B at time of review (host noted quickly growing numbers).
  • Market behavior and resilience:
    • Big Oso noted TRX’s relative strength versus BTC/ETH during retracements (stronger downside resilience). The host amplified similar sentiment, noting some media compare Tron to a “big tech stock” due to steady real-world usage and sustained fundamentals (stablecoin rails + DeFi TVL).

Integrations, Partnerships, and Security

  • WalletConnect integration (headline item):
    • Brings connectivity to 600+ wallets and ~70,000 dApps.
    • The discussion highlighted a retail payments angle, including enabling USDT acceptance at ~40M point-of-sale terminals via a related tie-up mentioned during the segment (the brand name sounded like “Ingenico” in context, but the host did not firmly confirm the name). The scale is the key: enterprise/retail-level reach.
    • Host provided a clear explainer of WalletConnect as an open-source, chain-agnostic secure bridge (not a wallet) that uses QR codes/deep links for encrypted session handshakes, keeping private keys on-device and mitigating browser extension risk.
    • The host also mentioned a WalletConnect token on the Optimism network used for staking/governance/network incentives (not verified on the call—flagged for external confirmation).
  • Blockaid/“Blockade” security integration (on-chain security):
    • Aimed at real-time phishing/scam reduction across the Tron network; speaker cited “359M users” coverage. The security focus is to drive safer on-chain experiences.
  • MetaMask native support for TRX/USDT:
    • Ongoing rollout deepens ease-of-use; host tied this to recent TVL strength and better accessibility for retail users.
  • dBridge growth: Post-integration volumes up ~400% (as cited by Debridge’s own update). Message: partners integrating Tron are seeing rapid traction, creating a flywheel for further integrations.
  • WBTC on Tron: Mentioned as “becoming available” with some updates; details not clarified on the call.
  • TRX options listing: Host referenced “Derbit” and an association with Coinbase but explicitly flagged uncertainty. Key takeaway: institutional hedging/derivatives access for TRX is expanding—listeners encouraged to verify the exact venue and affiliations independently.

Capital, Treasury, and Staking Activity

  • Tron Inc. treasury accumulation (as described by host):
    • Incremental TRX buy activity (“~$50k chunks”), reportedly from a previously allocated ~$18M pool.
    • Holdings cited 677M TRX ($200M by host’s rough estimate), with significant staking into sTRX for bandwidth/energy yields. This both stabilizes the network and creates dividends for Tron Inc.-related stakeholders.

Ecosystem Investments and Cross-Chain Liquidity

  • Justin Sun’s strategic investment: ~$8M into “River,” described as a chain-abstraction stablecoin system introducing “satUSD.”
    • The host investigated whether “satUSD” is River’s stablecoin versus a “Satoshi stablecoin” and leaned toward it being River’s, citing a ~ $158M market cap.
    • Expected impact: improved cross-chain liquidity flowing into Tron DeFi.
    • Note: The host labeled these details as exploratory; listeners should verify specifics.

BitTorrent and BTFS Updates (DePIN)

  • BTT as a top-5 DePIN token (as cited); BTFS v4.0 expansion continues.
  • Daily airdrops: up to 750M BTT to storage providers.
  • BTFS Dashboard launched: new visualization for node operators to monitor performance—expected to improve operator experience and accessibility.

Sun Ecosystem Unification and Product Surface

  • The “Sun” rebrand puts multiple products under a single umbrella for clarity and user flow.
  • Named products in discussion: SunSwap, Sun Agent, SunX (perpetuals), Sun Pump, Sun.il, Sun Wukong. The host highlighted steady momentum and new reasons for user excitement.

AI Trends and Tooling Touchpoints

  • Personal AI agents: The host described a surge in “cloud/Claude bot” style personal agents running locally (e.g., on Mac Mini hardware), controlled via Telegram. Expect a near-term wave of tools bridging AI agents and blockchain (payments, automation, on-chain operations).
  • AI service marketplace (brought by Ben; validated live by Sunny D):
    • “AA NFT” (host browsed “aanft/aa nft dot com” as named in the talk): one-account access to top AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) without KYC; connect TronLink; pay-as-you-go in crypto (TRX), micro-payments supported; no email/credit card.
    • Value proposition: cost control (no idle monthly subscriptions), privacy, direct crypto payments.

Community Projects and Collaboration

  • TronScore (Proof of Attendance Protocol):
    • The TronScore community builder thanked the hosts and underscored the evolution from simple transfers to tokenization and real-world assets (RWAs) where stablecoins dominate.
    • Call to action: follow TronScore’s X account; announcements coming.
    • Collaboration: Mega Team aims to integrate TronScore’s PoA into the Mega app and explore automating Space participation verification via the X API (future work).
  • Mega Team app updates:

    • Live XP code posted during the Space (4h24x0) for attendance; extra XP for on-mic contributors; plan to automate XP awarding in future.
    • Ongoing outreach to Tron devs to add their tools into the Mega hub to centralize user access.
  • Big Oso’s Madrid mega-event initiative:
    • Scope: 80,000–100,000 attendees over 3 days, with city government support and experienced organizers (noted experience running large-scale events in China). Ambition: among the largest Web3/tech culture events.
    • Theme and content: Web3 + AI + robotics + music + sports. Pursuing marquee guests/partners (he referenced outreach to ByteDance and notable entertainment figures’ management). Several partnerships in negotiation.
    • Community call: open to partnerships/sponsorships; DMs welcome. Spanish-speaking Tron community activation underway (e.g., boxing streams >1,000 viewers; prizes awarded). Acknowledged need to improve streaming audio gear quality.
    • Personal note: Big Oso left his job to focus on this; emphasized patience, humility, and long-term vision; highlighted the compounding value of relationships and consistent presence.

Events and Appearances

  • TronDAO’s Sam speaking at Duke University in early February alongside leaders from Circle (Corey), Stripe (Sam Swartz, per host), and Stellar (Daniel Casanas). Strong presence in academic forums to attract talent.
  • Recurring Spaces and forums:
    • SunFlash Spaces: Thursday 9:00 AM EST.
