This is a change to the wallet functionality of condenser. Witnesses are not involved in any changes to this project.
These changes are to migrate the database structure of the website. The database is used to store facts about the blockchain so that the website doesn't have to constantly poll the API.
So it looks like, in addition to facts about the Steem blockchain, they're integrating some kind of connection to the Tron blockchain.
If I were to guess, it seems like perhaps Tron will be like a sidechain to Steem. Who knew?
There are also a number of other unmerged tron-related changes here. Maybe adding basic Tron wallet functionality to the Steemit/condenser wallet? Perhaps the reference to "rewards" means TRX staking rewards, not blogging or curating rewards?
Adding a TRX wallet would give the Steem community an easy on-ramp into TRX and vice versa.

I'm now guessing that the powerdown has something to do with yesterday's JUST partnership announcement.
