The blockchain’s staking ecosystem also witnessed growth over the past few weeks. However, despite a promising uptick in metrics, the blockchain performance in the DeFi space has somewhat plateaued. 

Is Tron witnessing wholesome growth?

Not only did Tron’s total addresses go up, but its total transactions also climbed to over 6.2 billion. The metric clearly indicated increased usage and activity on the network.

On top of that, the blockchain also recently passed its committee proposal 89, which can help in further increasing its adoption. The proposal was aimed at activating the PUSH0 instruction in the TRON virtual machine (TVM).

Tron Spark, a popular X handle that posts updates related to the Tron ecosystem, pointed out in a recent tweet a few factors that might have been playing a role in boosting adoption.

As per the tweet, the non-fungible token (NFT) market has blossomed over recent years, and the blockchain’s ecosystem provides a suitable platform for its creation and trade.

In fact, if metrics are to be considered, TRX witnessed a massive boom in its NFT space during the last NFT summer. This was evident from the steep rise in the number of NFT trade counts and trade volume in USD. 

Apart from NFTs, the tweet also mentioned that the blockchain has seen a surge in DeFi projects, which offer a range of financial services without intermediaries.

Thanks to that, Tron’s TVL has remained relatively high. However, it must also be noted that the metric’s growth rate remained low as the TVL graph somewhat plateaued. At press time, TRX’s TVL stood at $5.678 billion, as per DeFiLlama.

The blockchain’s staking ecosystem also grew over the last few weeks. As per Staking Rewards’ data, the total TRX staked went up in the last seven days. Not only that, but the number of TRX stakers also increased slightly.
