TronLink
TronLink is a platform that allows users access to the Tron blockchain. It is available on mobile devices with IOS and Android operating systems, users can also access this with their computers/PC using its google chrome extension.
TronLink supports new wallet creation, while users can also import their existing wallets into the platform. Users can also explore the Tron blockchain using this platform.
After creating or importing your wallet, you can perform several transactions/activities such as send/receive trons, staking, voting and freezing of tokens. These transactions can be performed very small amounts or in very huge amounts.
Tronlink supports both TRC-10 and TRC-20 and it was designed to support many DApps and defi services such as Justswap and Justlend.

Users who have linked wallets to TronLink can send and receive TRX tokens from their wallets to exchanges.
It allows to be involved in voting, freezing and holding of TRX assets. Users can also stake their assets in a pool in order gain income.
It also allows users to access and explore the Tron Blockchain. As a result it also gives users a testing place for many developers. It supports Dapps which makes it easy and fast for many users.
Tronscan
Tronscan serves as a block explorer to the Tron blockchain and with this, it performs activities such as; checking validity of a transaction, hash, wallet address and many others.
Apart from being a block explorer, it also supports voting and the creation of tokens. Another function of Tronscan is that it supports Dapps such as the Justswap. It allows users to freeze and unfreeze their assets.
The main aim of Tronscan is to improve the decentralized nature of a blockchain and that is achieved by providing a public ledger. Meaning, anyone at all can access information of a wallet address at anytime.

By the way of allowing users to check the validity of a wallet address, it may help prevent users from transferring funds into the wrong address. And this will help avoid loss of funds/assets.
It supports Dapps and this helps many users to experience the best from Tron blockchain and with the existing of wallets, users can also trade their tokens from and into exchanges.
Also the freezing of tokens helps users to gain more energy.

Hash: 8cb00e745845fda0eca65eafb45155367517a5ddab99f3dde3cb28b8c36da66c
- The details of the transaction is displayed below.

- The various DApps are displayed and they are grouped into Popular and recent.
The recent are the ones that have been used recently by the user while popular are the DApps that are frequently used by many users on the platform.
Some of the DApps available are; SUN, JustLend, zkWrapper, SunSwap, JUST, and Poloni DEX.
