The Tron Foundation has time and again proved that it is the master of the Dapp game by consecutively beating its competitors EOS and ETH for several weeks. Regardless of its prolonged success, the Tron Foundation hasn’t stopped developing its ecosystem.

The Sun Network is an extension to Tron’s main network designed to enhance the transaction capacity and the scalability of the network.
