In a recent Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session held on their
Telegram Group, TRON CEO Justin Sun gave new details regarding the new upgrades. Other topics included future developments, the
BitTorrent Token (BTT), and the recent software upgrade.
Sun’ s initial remarks for the Odyssey 3.5 upgrade were:
“This MainNet upgrade is a significant one for TRON since last December. Previous upgrades were mainly for setting up the network, while this upgrade is the first major improvement of the network performance.”
Sun also talked about the advantages of introducing multi-signatures. He went on to explain how using multi-sig addresses will facilitate the easy management of TRON (TRX) and cryptocurrencies based on the Tron protocol.
“Multi-signature is essential to institutional investors and investors with high net worth because institutional investors usually use institutionalized approaches to keep cryptocurrency assets, which are managed by multiple parties and with multi-layer procedures. Therefore, multi-signature allows multi-layer management of cryptocurrencies. It’s fair to say that without multi-signature, there will not be institutional investors.”-said the founder.
Tron launched in the previous month the BitTorrent (BTT) token, a Tron-based dApp, compatible with the TRC-10 protocol. BitTorrent’s clients will use the BTT token as a means of payment for higher network and download speeds.
