TRON is one of the largest blockchain-based operating systems in the world.
TRON is dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the Internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications. Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the company has delivered a series of achievements, including Mainnet launch on May 2018, network independence on June 2018, and TRON Virtual Machine launch on August 2018. July 2018 also marked the acquisition of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized services. TRON is the world’s largest decentralized network and new projects like Project Atlas will connect BitTorrent to the world of Blockchain, enabling faster downloads and torrent lifetimes, creating a tokenized content ecosystem that benefits 100M+ existing users. Justin Sun previously worked at Ripple as Chief Representative and Advisor and founded Peiwo in 2013, one of the largest voice live streaming apps in China. His educational background includes the University of Pennsylvania, Peking University, and Hupan University (created by Jack Ma, Chairman of the Alibaba Group). TRON is connecting thousands of developers across the world through its consumer-focused ecosystem based on Blockchain, cryptocurrency, dApps, and leading peer-to-peer file sharing products; respectively TRON, Peiwo, BitTorrent & µTorrent. The company consists of over 300 employees with offices in Beijing, San Francisco, and Singapore. As TRON continues to expand rapidly, we are looking for more people with a passion for decentralization to join an ambitious team.
