In the first half of 2026, the TRON ecosystem advances simultaneously in "DeFi + AI": The value of DeFi assets undergoes a comprehensive upgrade to solidify the foundation, while innovative AI products are intensively launched to explore new blue oceans

In the first half of 2026, the global cryptocurrency market entered a downward adjustment cycle influenced by multiple factors such as fluctuations in traditional financial cycles and the diversion of funds in the AI industry. Market liquidity tightened, and most sectors faced stagnation in growth. However, the TRON ECO ecosystem emerged independently against the trend, achieving breakthrough developments in several core businesses: from the scale leap of the stablecoin settlement network to the collective upgrade of asset values in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, and the intensive landing of products in the new AI sector, the entire chain delivered impressive results far exceeding the industry average.

As the liquidity foundation supporting the efficient operation of the entire ecosystem, the stablecoin business has always been a core advantage of TRON. In the first half of 2026, despite the overall stable supply of USDT globally, the circulation of USDT on the TRON chain expanded against the trend, successfully breaking the $90 billion mark and continuously refreshing historical peaks, currently steadily moving towards a scale of $100 billion, continuously consolidating its position as the industry leader in global mainstream stablecoin settlement networks, providing ample and low-cost liquidity support for various DeFi and AI applications in the upper ecosystem.

While solidifying its core dominant position in the stablecoin sector, TRON formed a clear new pattern of "DeFi foundation + AI new layout" for ecological construction in the first half of 2026: The DeFi ecosystem landed multiple core projects with normalized buyback and burn mechanisms, coupled with continuous product function iterations, continuously strengthening the overall value capture capability of the ecosystem; the AI sector welcomed the intensive landing of several core products, quickly building a complete AI intelligent ecosystem from the upper-level multi-model AI unified service entrance to AI Agent infrastructure, and down to the underlying distributed computing power, successfully seizing the development opportunity in the Web3 AI industry.

DeFi Ecosystem "Buyback and Burn + Product Iteration" Dual-Line Coordination, Driving TRON Ecosystem Value to a Comprehensive Leap

Faced with industry headwinds, the TRON ecosystem's DeFi sector in the first half of 2026 consistently advanced with "buyback and burn value empowerment + product function iteration upgrade" as its dual main lines. On one hand, it constructed a normalized deflationary system covering the entire ecosystem through the continuous landing of buyback and burn mechanisms for multiple core projects; on the other hand, it continuously refined the functions and experiences of core protocols, achieving a two-way enhancement of token value and protocol fundamentals.

In terms of deflationary value construction, multiple core projects within the TRON ecosystem have already implemented buyback and burn operations, forming a comprehensive deflationary matrix covering liquidity infrastructure, lending, oracle services, and distributed transmission, significantly enhancing the ecosystem's asset value capture capability:

• The liquidity infrastructure SUN.io continues to expand the funding sources for the buyback and burn of SUN tokens. In April of this year, during the 50th buyback and burn, based on the existing revenues from SunSwap V2 and SunPump businesses, the income from the new SUNX business was added to the burn fund pool, completing the 50th and 51st buyback and burn of SUN tokens in April and July respectively;
• The DeFi infrastructure JUST ecosystem has fulfilled multiple rounds of large-scale buyback and burn plans for JST tokens as scheduled, with the second and third rounds of large-scale burns completed in January and April, and the fourth round of buyback and burn launched in July, with the scale of this round reaching a historical high;
• The oracle sector WINkLink launched the WIN token buyback and burn plan in July, using all service revenues for WIN buyback and burn.
• The distributed data transmission leader BitTorrent also launched the BTT token buyback and burn in July, using all decentralized business revenues for BTT buyback and burn.

In terms of product function iteration, the TRON ecosystem continues to optimize multiple core scenario products around trading, lending, oracle services, and decentralized file storage, continuously strengthening the ecosystem's core competitiveness:

• SUN.io completed a brand upgrade in January, adding a Chinese brand to achieve bilingual global development, and launched the SunSwap V4 version in March, enhancing trading depth and user experience;
• JustLend DAO launched the SBM V2 version in June, introducing independent isolated liquidity pools, covering more long-tail asset categories, further improving the product matrix and protective security mechanisms of the lending ecosystem; the ecosystem's "Gas" free transfer solution GasFree saw exponential growth in both stablecoin transfer transaction volume and user scale in the first half of the year;
• The oracle WINkLink upgraded its price service page in March, adding a "Market Statistics" data section, continuously enhancing its on-chain data service capabilities;
• BitTorrent launched a new decentralized AI computing power product BTTInferGrid in June, officially entering the AI sector and opening up a new long-term growth space.

The continuous fulfillment of the buyback and burn mechanism, combined with the ongoing strengthening of product fundamentals, has not only steadily increased the activity of DeFi on the TRON chain but also provided solid support for the long-term value of ecosystem tokens.

As of September 1, DeFiLlama data shows that the total locked value (TVL) on the TRON chain has exceeded $5.18 billion, ranking among the top five public chains globally, on par with Solana and BSC, with the gap continuously narrowing, even surpassing both during peak periods. The advantage in user activity is even more significant, with over 3.88 million active addresses on TRON in 24 hours, nearly double that of the second-place BSC, firmly maintaining its position as the top public chain globally, fully validating the real user scale and on-chain vitality of the ecosystem.

Liquidity Infrastructure SUN.io: Launching SunSwap V4 to Reshape DEX Trading Efficiency, SUN Buyback and Burn Funding Sources Continue to Expand

In the first half of 2026, SUN.io implemented multiple key actions around brand globalization, product experience upgrades, and token value empowerment, completing a multi-dimensional upgrade from brand recognition and product capability to value mechanism, significantly enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of the ecosystem.

In terms of brand building, SUN.io has achieved a global development strategy of dual-brand synergy in Chinese and English. In January of this year, SUN.io completed a comprehensive brand renewal, adding the Chinese brand "Sun Wukong," with all core products simultaneously completing unified naming in both languages: The DEX platform SunSwap was named "Wukong Exchange" in Chinese, the meme issuance platform SunPump was named "Wukong Launch," and the derivatives trading platform SunX was named "Sun Wukong," along with the launch of the official Chinese version of the "Sun Wukong" website. Thus, the main product matrix of SUN.io has fully covered core DeFi sectors such as "DEX spot trading + meme asset issuance + perpetual derivatives trading," and leveraging the dual operational advantages of the bilingual brand, it accurately reaches user groups in different global regions, promoting the collaborative development of a global ecosystem.

In terms of product experience, SUN.io continues to iterate on core protocols, significantly lowering user trading thresholds and costs through technological innovation. On March 2, SUN.io's DEX platform SunSwap officially launched version V4, innovatively introducing six major features: singleton model (unified management of liquidity pools), native TRX direct access (TRX can be exchanged directly without wrapping), flash accounting (unified differential settlement), hooks (customizable trading rule plugins), customizable accounting (customized settlement strategies), and subscribers (real-time notifications of position changes), pushing the protocol's customizability and extensibility to a new height, unlocking more innovative scenarios for the DeFi ecosystem. More importantly, within less than five months of the SunSwap V4 launch, liquidity and trading volume have both seen rapid growth, with liquidity peaks stabilizing at $108 million and peak 24-hour trading volume exceeding $70 million, demonstrating strong growth momentum.

In addition, SUN.io completed a comprehensive upgrade of the Universal Router smart routing contract in May, supporting optimal path automatic exchanges across multiple liquidity pools, further enhancing trading efficiency.

According to the latest official data released on September 1, the current total locked value (TVL) on the SUN.io platform is approximately $650 million, with the number of launched liquidity pools exceeding 26,500, and the total trading volume on the platform exceeding $514 million in the past week, with over 112,000 transactions during the same period, maintaining a steady upward trend in all core operational indicators.

In terms of token value empowerment, SUN.io is accelerating the deflationary process of the ecosystem token SUN by continuously broadening the sources of buyback and burn funding. Since the 50th buyback and burn (executed on April 25), SUN.io has officially included the income from the SunX derivatives business into the SUN token buyback fund pool, significantly expanding the boundaries of funding sources for the burn, while adjusting the execution cycle of the burn to be uniformly announced in mid-month of each quarter, making the deflationary rhythm more transparent and predictable.

As of September 1, since the buyback and burn mechanism was officially launched in December 2021, SUN.io has continuously executed 51 rounds of burn operations, with a total of 678,547,188.32 SUN tokens burned, just a step away from the 700 million mark, continuously strengthening the deflationary force of the ecosystem token.

JustLend DAO Continues to Increase Real Earnings for JST Buyback and Burn, Diverse Product Matrix Advances Together

As the core value pillar of the TRON DeFi ecosystem, the JUST ecosystem in the first half of 2026 leveraged the continuous stable profits of its core protocol JustLend DAO to drive multiple rounds of large-scale buyback and burn of JST tokens, successfully constructing a complete value closed loop of "real business revenue → normalized deflation landing → token value positive enhancement." Driven by this closed loop, the value of JST tokens has achieved exponential growth: the price rose from $0.04 at the beginning of the year to a peak of $0.11, with a cumulative increase of over 275%; the market capitalization rose from about $400 million at the beginning of the year to over $868 million, setting a new high since 2022, with a price of $0.101 on September 1.

At the same time, JustLend DAO's diverse product matrix is blooming in multiple areas, covering lending, liquidity staking, energy leasing services, smart wallets, and other high-potential sectors, opening up new long-term growth spaces for the ecosystem.

As the year began, JST has completed three rounds of large-scale regular burns, each with a funding scale exceeding $20 million, with a total of over $70 million invested in buyback and burn in the first half of the year, nearly 90% of which comes from the real operating net income of JustLend DAO:

Second round (January 14): Burned approximately 525 million JST, accounting for 5.30% of the total supply, corresponding to $21 million;

Third round (April 15): Burned approximately 271 million JST, accounting for 2.74% of the total supply, corresponding to $21.3 million;

Fourth round (July 17): Regular burn combined with a special burn of historical stability fees for USDJ, totaling approximately 355 million JST burned, accounting for 3.59% of the total supply, corresponding to $34.59 million, setting a new historical high for single-round burn funding.

So far, JST has completed four rounds of large-scale buyback and burn plans, with a total of 1.711 billion JST burned, accounting for about 17.29% of the total token supply, with a total funding scale exceeding $94.62 million. Except for the special historical stability fee burn of USDJ in the fourth round (valued at about $10.39 million), all regular buyback and burn funding for JST comes 100% from the real business income of JustLend DAO.

According to data disclosed on the official financial page, JustLend DAO's cumulative net income has exceeded $94.2 million, and the total scale of funds invested in the JST buyback and burn fund pool has approached $105 million. After deducting the $10.39 million for the USDJ special historical stability fee, nearly $94 million of the buyback and burn funds all come from the real income generated by the platform's daily operations. The platform still reserves about $10.34 million in stock reserve income, which will be invested in the next regular burn process according to the established plan.

As the core protocol of the JUST ecosystem, JustLend DAO has formed multiple core business segments including the lending market (SBM), liquidity staking (sTRX), energy leasing (Energy Rental), GasFree transfer solution, and energy direct purchase (Buy Energy), with each segmented track firmly positioned at the industry forefront, forming a stable and diverse revenue matrix.

In the core lending sector, JustLend DAO's lending market SBM has long maintained a TVL ranking among the top five in the global lending sector. According to DeFiLlama data released on September 1, the current TVL of JustLend DAO's lending market SBM has reached $3.38 billion, ranking fourth in the global decentralized lending sector. In June, the platform officially launched the SBM V2 version, innovatively introducing an isolated liquidity pool mechanism, broadening the coverage of new asset types while significantly enhancing the overall security of the platform. On the asset side, the platform also added a dedicated lending market for U assets in the first half of 2026, continuously improving its asset layout.

In the liquidity staking sector, JustLend DAO's sTRX product has currently staked over 9.73 billion TRX, with the number of participating addresses exceeding 17,000, and the total staking scale and number of participating users have consistently maintained a steady upward trend. The energy leasing market (Energy Rental) derived from the liquidity staking ecosystem, with its "pay-as-you-go" flexible model, addresses the pain point of needing to stake large amounts of TRX long-term to reduce on-chain gas costs, with over 80,000 users participating so far.

In August of this year, JustLend DAO further launched a new TRON energy on-demand service—Buy Energy, allowing users to purchase the required energy in one go based on actual needs. Compared to directly burning TRX to obtain on-chain resources, this product can save users up to 64% in transaction fees.

Thus, JustLend DAO has constructed a gas cost optimization tool matrix covering "Energy Rental + Buy Energy + GasFree no gas transfer solution" around the core goal of "lowering on-chain usage thresholds."

Among them, the GasFree no "Gas" transfer solution has grown into a new growth engine for the platform: this feature allows users to transfer without holding the native token TRX, directly deducting on-chain transaction fees from the target asset, fundamentally removing the native token holding threshold for ordinary users to participate in on-chain transactions. Currently, GasFree supports the transfer fee deduction for two major stablecoins, USDT and USDD (with USDD officially integrated in August of this year), and the user scale and transfer amount are in a phase of rapid growth.

According to the data from CryptoQuant's "TRON Q2 Report," the turnover scale of GasFree reached $2.9 billion in the last week of June, having set a weekly record of $3 billion in early May. As of September 1, the cumulative transaction volume of stablecoin transfers through GasFree has exceeded $132.6 billion, processing over 7.7 million transactions, saving global users over $8.48 million in fees, and is rapidly growing into an irreplaceable new growth curve for the JustLend DAO ecosystem.

In addition to continuous product iteration and accelerated growth of core businesses, JustLend DAO is also expanding external collaborations to open up user acquisition channels. On July 6, JustLend DAO was officially integrated into the DeFi interface of the Binance wallet, with its liquidity pool going live simultaneously, directly reaching a massive user base of top CEXs; subsequently, the platform also collaborated with core projects in the TRON ecosystem such as USDD and SUN.io to launch the "TRON DeFi Summer" carnival with a total prize pool of up to $4.5 million. This series of cross-ecosystem initiatives not only brought considerable incremental funds and new user groups to JustLend DAO but also built a complete user conversion chain from the top CEX traffic pool to the TRON ecosystem, opening up new upward space for the platform's long-term revenue growth.

BitTorrent Launches Decentralized Computing Power Network BTTInferGrid to Enter AI Sector, Initiates Long-Term BTT Buyback and Burn Plan

The first half of 2026 marks a period of value reconstruction for BitTorrent, with key breakthroughs in three dimensions: regulation, business, and token economics. From the complete elimination of regulatory uncertainties to steady iteration of core business products, the launch of decentralized AI products entering the AI sector, and the initiation of the long-term BTT buyback and burn plan, it has achieved a comprehensive upgrade from external environmental barriers to intrinsic value reconstruction.

The starting point of this round of value reconstruction is the complete clearance of regulatory risks that have plagued the ecosystem for three years. On March 6, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officially agreed to withdraw all charges against Justin Sun, the TRON Foundation, and the BitTorrent Foundation, marking the end of a three-year regulatory dispute and eliminating policy uncertainties that hindered ecosystem development, clearing institutional barriers for subsequent strategic advancement. Following this, on May 27, BTT was listed on Thailand's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bitkub, with the BTT/THB trading pair launched, allowing Thai users to trade directly in Thai baht, effectively broadening the liquidity depth and global market coverage of the token.

In terms of core business, BitTorrent's product iteration is steadily advancing. On June 5, the BitTorrent Neo client, designed for macOS, was officially launched, achieving efficient and smooth file sharing with a lightweight architecture and simple interface, further consolidating its user experience advantage in the P2P transmission field.

In the layout of emerging sectors, BitTorrent officially entered the decentralized AI computing power field. On June 17, the core AI strategic product BTTInferGrid was launched, constructing a DePIN computing power network aimed at AI inference scenarios. BTTInferGrid not only reconstructs the traditional computing power supply model through decentralization but also marks BitTorrent's entry into the decentralized AI sector, opening up a new growth curve for the entire ecosystem.

In the token value system, BitTorrent initiated the BTT buyback and burn mechanism to achieve asset value upgrades. On July 6, the official announcement stated that 100% of the revenue generated from decentralized business would be allocated to the exclusive BTT buyback fund pool, executing normalized buyback and burn on a natural quarterly basis. This mechanism fundamentally reshapes the value capture logic of BTT, upgrading it from a circulation and governance tool within the ecosystem to a core asset anchored to real business revenue with continuous deflationary attributes, allowing community users to share the long-term dividends of ecosystem development alongside business expansion.

WINkLink: Continuous Upgrades of Oracle Services, Buyback and Burn Boosting Token Value

As the core oracle infrastructure of the TRON ecosystem, WINkLink has continuously upgraded across multiple dimensions such as product functionality, asset coverage, and token value in the first half of the year, solidifying its on-chain data service capabilities while converting business dividends into long-term token value through the implementation of buyback and burn mechanisms.

In terms of product functionality, WINkLink completed an upgrade of its price service page on March 27, adding a "Market Statistics" section that visualizes core indicators such as market capitalization ranking, circulation and total supply, and 24-hour and 7-day price ranges, significantly enhancing the completeness and readability of data services, better supporting the diverse needs of developers and financial protocols.

In terms of asset coverage, the range of assets for WINkLink's oracle price feeds continues to expand: On April 13, U price information was added, along with the launch of U/TRX and U/USD trading pairs; on June 9, KGST price information and KGST/TRX trading pairs were added, continuously enriching the supply of on-chain price data and covering more asset types.

In terms of token value empowerment, WINkLink launched a long-term buyback and burn plan for WIN tokens on July 6, clearly stating that all revenues from providing oracle services to the TRON ecosystem would be used for WIN buyback and burn, with each round of burn data disclosed around mid-next quarter. This mechanism directly binds ecosystem business revenue to token value, continuously optimizing the token supply structure, resulting in a positive resonance between the underlying protocol service capabilities and token value. Since the announcement of the buyback and burn plan, the price of WIN tokens has rapidly climbed, rising from about $0.00002055 on the day of the announcement to $0.00002514 on July 29, with an increase of about 22.5%, intuitively demonstrating the value enhancement effect brought by the deflationary mechanism.

In addition, WINkLink was recognized by multiple exchanges at the beginning of the year, with WIN officially listed on Thailand's leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitkub on January 30, and again on Baltex exchange on February 28, broadening the global market coverage of the token in advance.

Emerging AI Sector Products Intensively Land and Rapidly Expand, TRON Ecosystem AI Product Matrix Taking Shape

If the mature DeFi ecosystem is the financial foundation for TRON to traverse market cycles, then the systematic layout for the Web3 AI sector is the core strategic pivot for seizing the dividends of the next technological revolution. In the first half of 2026, TRON entered a concentrated explosion period in the AI ecosystem: In February, the AI Agent exclusive financial infrastructure Bank of AI was officially launched; in April, the multi-model unified service entrance B.AI was fully opened; in June, the decentralized AI computing power network BTTInferGrid was launched, with a series of milestone products landing intensively.

As of now, TRON's AI ecosystem has formed a product matrix centered around B.AI, Bank of AI, AINFT, and BTTInferGrid, comprehensively covering key links such as AI large model service entrances, AI Agent financial transaction ecosystems, and distributed computing power supply.

According to the plan, by 2028 and beyond, the platform will create a collaborative network integrating computing, storage, and smart contracts, providing underlying support for AI Agents and various automated applications, ultimately becoming the preferred decentralized computing power infrastructure for global open-source AI applications.

TRON Ecosystem "DeFi + AI" Advances in Dual Wheels, Building Core Competitiveness to Traverse Cycles

Overall, against the backdrop of pressure on the entire industry, TRON has not only avoided being affected by the market downturn but has instead achieved counter-cyclical growth through the dual-line strategy of "solidifying the DeFi ecosystem as a foundation + expanding AI products into new sectors": The DeFi sector continues to consolidate its industry-leading advantage, with its value foundation being continuously strengthened; the AI sector rapidly completes the landing of full-stack products, opening up emerging growth spaces. The synergy of both efforts forms the core competitiveness supporting the long-term growth of the ecosystem and provides a highly valuable practical paradigm for the counter-cyclical development of the Web3 industry.

In the DeFi sector, TRON has long established a diverse and mature DeFi ecosystem: on the issuance and trading side, SUN.io has formed a comprehensive trading service matrix covering DEX (SunSwap), meme issuance (SunPump), and perpetual contracts (SUNX); on the asset and value-added side, the JUST ecosystem has created an integrated layout covering JustLend DAO (including SBM lending market, sTRX liquidity staking, energy leasing), GasFree smart wallet, and USDD stablecoin; on the underlying support side, WINkLink oracles and BitTorrent distributed transmission jointly provide data and file transmission services for the entire ecosystem.

The collaboration of various sectors is further supported by real project revenues, driven by product iterations, and leveraging deflation as a value tool, not only continuously consolidating the industry position of the DeFi foundation but also providing a solid value base and ecological resources for the layout of emerging sectors such as AI through stable business revenues and a large user base.

In the emerging AI sector, TRON has completed deep positioning through high-frequency product innovation and landing practices, constructing a top-down full-stack closed-loop ecosystem, firmly seizing the first-mover advantage in the industry. Relying on the current four core products—B.AI, Bank of AI, AINFT, and BTTInferGrid—TRON has built a three-layer architecture of "upper-level AI model service entrance - middle-layer Agent infrastructure - bottom-layer computing power foundation." This system is not a simple stacking of scattered products but an organic whole with interlinked capabilities and scenario empowerment: B.AI serves as the unified entrance for user traffic and model services, Bank of AI and AINFT realize the financial capabilities of AI Agents, and BTTInferGrid provides underlying distributed computing power support. The collaborative interaction of these products collectively constructs TRON's core competitiveness in the Web3 AI sector and lays the ecological foundation for the deep integration of AI and blockchain technology.

Recently, TRON founder Justin Sun stated at the 2026 Malaysia Blockchain Week that TRON is becoming the core cornerstone of the integration of AI and finance. He mentioned that DeFi, TradFi, and AI are accelerating integration through the same assets, payment channels, and user groups, and that the future financial system will be composed of institutions, open blockchain networks, and AI, with TRON's infrastructure capabilities playing an important role in this change.

Looking back at TRON's development path, if the forward-looking layout in the stablecoin field in 2019 laid the foundation for its current industry-leading position in the global stablecoin sector; and the deep investment in the DeFi sector in 2020 built the ecological foundation for inclusive finance; then the current systematic deployment in the AI sector will become a new engine for TRON's next phase of growth, driving the ecosystem to continuously advance into more cutting-edge technological fields.
