Tron Announces Sun Network May Launch Date, Reveals Key Phases for DApp Chain

Published at: April 8, 2019

Blockchain-based decentralized application (DApp) platform Tron has revealed the expansion plan of its second layer scalability solution, the Sun Network. According to a release published Monday, April 8, the network’s testnet will launch in late May.

The Sun Network expansion plan includes developing DApp sidechains and cross-chain infrastructure. The second layer protocol is expected to increase the overall capacity of Tron’s network, while simultaneously allowing DApps to run with extremely low energy consumption and high security.  

During the first phase, which is scheduled to start on May 30, Tron will focus on launching sidechain smart contracts. The official launch of Sun Network mainnet, which will further enhance the characteristics of decentralization and asset security, is set for Aug. 10.

In mid-September, Tron plans to launch an optimization processes for improving the ease of using the network and facilitating easy deployment of the sidechains.

On April 6, Tron founder and CEO Justin Sun had taken part in The Crypto Chick podcast, hinting that the Tron ecosystem will officially collaborate with Ethereum (ETH) later this year without providing any further details.

During the same podcast, Sun said that the Tron-based version of stablecoin Tether (USDT) is set to launch on April 9. He revealed that the Tron-based version of the stalwart stablecoin will permit cheaper and faster transactions than the Bitcoin (BTC)-based Omni protocol, USDT.

Earlier in April, the Tron Foundation had decided ask developers to remove gambling DApps from the Japanese market in order to comply with local regulations. As gambling is generally prohibited by the Japanese criminal code, the company urged local developers not to launch any such apps on the company’s platform.

The TRON network is about to get its first-ever public oracle system
A new project says it is delivering the first-ever public oracle system on the TRON network, enabling real-world data to be injected into smart contracts. According to the team behind the Bridge oracle, the lack of this infrastructure is currently a pain point as it limits the blockchain’s use case to a tokenization platform. They believe that the creation of this system is crucial for attracting small businesses who may not have the means, ability or time to create their own dedicated oracles. This could help the Tron (TRX) network progress and expand in the months and years to come. …

Boost for smart contracts as oracle system goes live on Binance Smart Chain
An oracle system has launched on Binance Smart Chain — enabling developers to create DApps and decentralized autonomous organizations that are fueled by real-world data. Bridge Oracle, which first made its debut on Tron, says the expansion of its easy-to-use infrastructure is a significant milestone. Now, a diverse range of data sources can be integrated into smart contracts — boosting their utility immeasurably. Data can be fetched using HTTP and HTTPS requests, or through the computational knowledge of WolframAlpha. Oracles can be used to generate random numbers, and this infrastructure also paves the way for enterprises to integrate blockchain technology …

Ripple wants to bring Ethereum smart contracts to the XRP Ledger
Ripple users may be able to interact with Ethereum-compatible decentralized applications (DApps) in the future following the launch of a test phase of Ripple’s new XRP Ledger sidechain. The launch of the sidechain was shared in a Tweet by blockchain development firm Peersyst Technologies on Oct. 17, noting that the new sidechain is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This means that Ripple users could eventually have access to decentralized applications like Uniswap (should it port over) and Web3 wallets such as Metamask and XUMM Wallet. The new sidechain also comes with a cross-chain bridge built to transfer XRP and …
