Voice of the people 

This announcement, among other updates, might have led to the spike of social mentions of TRON. According to data provided by LunarCrush, the number of social mentions for TRON increased by 27.3% in the last month and the number of social engagements grew by 89.4% during the same period.

However, despite all the growth witnessed by TRON on the social front, its weighted sentiment remained negative over the last 30 days. This indicated that the crypto community had more negative than positive things to say about the network.

TRON’s volume witnessed a significant decline – from 375 million to 192 million – in the last month. Over the past few weeks, TRON’s development activity fell as well. This indicated that the contributions being made to TRON‘s GitHub had declined.
