In a controversial move, Tron has just announced the Super Representative candidacy of subsidiary BitTorrent. Just weeks prior, The Tron Foundation bought BitTorrent for $140 million. The announcement was made via medium and twitter:

BitTorrent has declared their candidacy for the #TRON Super Representative! https://t.co/0giXVXn98K — TRON Foundation (@Tronfoundation) July 26, 2018

As a Super Representative, BitTorrent is eligible to receive 32 TRX per block created. A block is created approximately every second. With TRX’s price currently just below $0.40, the subsidiary is slated to earn over 100k per day.

This news comes very soon after the announcement of Tron Founder Justin Sun as a candidate for Super Representative status. The foundation’s recent moves have created a stir as the cryptocurrency community begins to criticize the decisions as an effort to centralize the currency, giving exorbitant power to just a few entities at the expense of the network’s security.
