Like other blockchains, the Tron ecosystem has dApps running on it. In this assignment, we’ll be going through some dApps on the Tron ecosystem.

What are the different dApps in the Tron Ecosystem are you familiar with?

JustSwap

Justswap is one of the popular most dApp running on the Tron ecosystem. It is an exchange and more specifically DEX i.e. decentralized exchange launched last year in 2020 which is connected to the Tron system through Tronlink wallet. This dApp supports the conversion of all TRC20 based tokens involving a transaction fee which is taken by liquidity generators which are 0.3%. The users can generate liquidity by clicking on the pool option of this platform.

Here are some key statistics of this app

JustLend

It is said to be the first borrowing and lending platform that Tron Ecosystem provides. Here users can earn interest through depositing their assets even in less quantity also can yield loans. The platform was launched in December 2020 and is called the “Tron Powered lending platform.” Here either you can be a borrower or lender. This dApp accepts some assets and also offers smart contracts for certain coins. Here’s the list of coins that are accepted by the platform.

  • TRX
  • USDT
  • USDJ
  • SUN
  • WIN
  • BTC
  • JST
  • WBTT

Here’s the list of those tokens for which the platform offers smart contracts:

  • RX
  • BTC
  • SUN
  • JST
  • WIN
  • WBTT
  • USDT
  • USDJ

The platforms develop fund pools and the interest rates of these pools are found by the supply and demand algorithm of Tron assets. Being decentralized removes third party here lender and borrower interact directly.

Conclusion

The Tron is already a popular blockchain and is still growing every day. As said it mainly hosts entertainment applications on its surface mostly concerned with gaming or media-related things. However, since we are the people of the crypto world and our grounds of observation are limited to benefits we get related to crypto-assets. The blockchain uses peer-to-peer technology providing a decentralized atmosphere with cryptocurrency.
