About the Accelerator Plan

As stated by Justin, the plan will empower developers and start-ups to develop DApps on the Tron protocol.

In the last 24 hours, Tron has handled 2,393,997 transactions and has 702,111 user accounts. This type of stability and efficiency is what developers look for in a blockchain network when creating a decentralized application.
