Move towards greater transparency
Amidst surging network activity, the Tron ecosystem forged an important partnership to improve the transparency of its blockchain data.
Tron joined hands with Footprint Analytics, a data analysis platform that links Web2 and Web3, to utilize the latter’s expertise in enhancing data usability, security and transparency. The collaboration could provide more advanced tools to the Tron community, so as to “unlock the full potential of blockchain.”
