TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system developed by the Tron Foundation and launched in 2017. Originally TRX tokens were ERC-20-based tokens deployed on Ethereum, but a year later they were moved to their own network.

TRX has made significant strides since its launch in 2017. The move from an ERC-20 token on Ethereum to its own mainnet was a crucial step in its development. It has established itself as a leading player in the blockchain space, with a growing community and a promising future.
