According to its website, TRON "strives to build a global free content entertainment system, using blockchain technology. This protocol allows each user to publish, store and own data for free."

The system is based on the blockchain for DAPPS (decentralized applications) and smart contracts, the project has as its main objective the decentralization of the internet and wants to allow users to create their applications, content and websites without being dependent on services centralized and what is much better without having to give up control of its content. At present this world this technological world is completely controlled by giants such as Facebook, Amazon, Google among others and it is they who are responsible for managing the data and profits of all, the goal is to return the power to who really belongs Who are the users? Using the power of modern networks under the person-to-person interaction TRON aims to eliminate intermediaries allowing consumers and content creators to connect directly.
