TRON is setting its sights on Istanbul, as Web3 transitions from a "technological race" to a "civilizational layout" — Sun's team has made an important move on the chessboard. ✴✵✶✷✸ 🇹🇷 Istanbul, once known as Constantinople, has witnessed the glory of the Eastern Roman Empire and carried the brilliance of the Ottoman Empire. Here, the cultures, thoughts, arts, and trades of the East and West have sparked collisions. It is the dream of Byzantium and the terminus of the Silk Road. In recent decades, Turkey has faced multiple challenges in its economic currency: the lira's depreciation, soaring inflation, and the traditional financial system's inability to serve a broader population. However, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology have found unexpected soil here: • 📈 Turkey is one of the countries with the highest acceptance of cryptocurrency globally; • 🔁 Turkey has a large young population, widespread mobile payment, and high technology acceptance; • 🧩 The demand for crypto assets to combat local currency depreciation has created numerous real-world scenarios; • 🕌 The tension between religion, politics, and the market gives the concept of "decentralization" a stronger practical significance. Today, Istanbul has become the host city for Blockchain Week, with the entire city and even the whole country reaching out to the Web3 era. This is not only Turkey's choice but also a choice for global Web3, which is seeking new "civilizational nodes." This is not just a city, but a symbol — connection, integration, transformation. 🛸 TRON and IBW: Why now? TRON's choice to make a move here signifies that it is not only establishing a foothold in Asia but also striving for recognition among emerging Eurasian Web3 users and policies. ▸ TRON becoming the gold sponsor of IBW is not just a brand exposure opportunity but a practical action participating in this East-West integration Web3 experiment. ▸ TRON is adept at building deployable on-chain applications across multiple cultures, languages, and communities; ▸ IBW Blockchain Week will gather developers, policymakers, project parties, and founders together; ▸ For TRON, this is not just market penetration but also an ecological output; ▸ For Turkey, this is a self-expression of digital sovereignty. TRON was early known for its practicality of "high TPS, low Gas, suitable for developers," regarded as an on-chain "tool-based infrastructure." However, in recent years, TRON has been transitioning to a "cultural + consensus-based Layer1": ✅ Focusing on decentralized stablecoins (USDD) ✅ Supporting on-chain content and social (BitTorrent, APENFT, etc.) ✅ Promoting national-level cooperation (multi-national fiat currency anchoring plans) Becoming the gold sponsor of IBW is to let the world see: TRON is not just a technology platform; it is a cultural output and on-chain order that is happening. Cultural identity: TRON excels at being "the people's chain." Turkish crypto users are those who spontaneously seek alternative financial systems under real pressures; they do not need complex protocols but rather: ✯ Asset security ✯ Convenient transfers ✯ Community-driven ✯ Trustless wealth tools And this is exactly what TRON excels at: It never only serves VCs and tech elites but rather serves the real "user community." IBW is a developer conference and a barometer of Web3 public opinion and trends. TRON's presence here is an alignment of emotions and values. @justinsuntron @IstanbulBlockWk @TronDao_Turkish #TRON #IBW2025 #TRONEcoStar Interested friends can visit the official website for more information; it seems there are discounts for tickets now ⬇️ 🔗 Event details:
