Justin Sun announced that a hard fork is coming for TRON on February 28 that will add new features.

One of the interesting hallmarks of cryptocurrency and its underlying blockchain is that change is always happening. Developers are always looking to add new features and increase functionality. Such forks create an exciting new chapter in a crypto’s life (or bring about a great deal of angst in the case of Bitcoin Cash). Over the weekend, Justin Sun announced that a hard fork is coming to TRON (TRX) in just a few days.

TRON Hard Fork Nearly Here

Last Saturday, Justin Sun took to Twitter to inform users of the TRON altcoin that a hard fork is nearly upon them. This hard fork will take place on February 28 and will usher in a number of new features.

#TRON will launch 3.5 hard fork upgrade on 2/28. New Features: 1. multi-sig and acct mng, institution ready 2. Dynamic energy adjustment to real-time network performance 3. 50% up performance & res usage 4. Better VM safety, events server for Dapps. Go! #TRX $TRX — Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) February 24, 2019

This Thursday will see the launch of the 3.5 hard fork for TRX. The new features being added to the coin’s blockchain include:

Institution-ready multi-sig and account management.

Dynamic energy adjustment to real-time network performance.

A 50 percent performance improvement.

Better virtual machine safety and an events server for Dapps.

This Thursday should be a busy day for cryptocurrency hard forks. In addition to TRON, the Ethereum blockchain is expected to have its Constantinople/St. Petersburg update. The timing for the Ethereum fork is approximate as it will happen at block 7,280,000.

Crushing Dapp Rankings

While Ethereum was once touted as the blockchain of choice for gaming, two other blockchains have surpassed it. Both EOS and TRON are dominating the Dapp rankings for blockchain-based games and gambling.

The top 20 Dapps belong to EOS and TRON. Each of the two blockchains has ten Dapps ranked in the top 20.

TRON is currently trading at $0.024168 with a market cap of $1.611 billion. The coin dropped 9.92 percent over the last 24 hours as the entire cryptocurrency marketplace took a hit and dropped on Sunday.
