TRX Risk

Tron (TRX)
‍
DESCRIPTION

Tron (TRX) is a decentralized, open-source, and permissionless blockchain network designed to support digital payments, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. TRX is the native utility token of the TRON network and is used for transaction settlement, staking, governance, and network resource allocation. The TRON network uses a Delegated Proof of Stake model in which token holders can stake TRX, receive TRON Power, and vote for Super Representatives that validate transactions and produce blocks.

‍How is Tron used?
Tron (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain protocol that uses its native token, TRX, for various purposes within the network. Here are the key ways TRX is used:
‍Governance: TRX holders can stake TRX to obtain TRON Power, which gives them voting rights in the TRON ecosystem. These votes are used to elect Super Representatives that participate in block production and network governance.
‍Staking: Users can stake TRX to participate in the network’s Delegated Proof of Stake mechanism. Staking can provide users with governance rights as well as network resources.
‍Payment: TRX is used as a means of transferring value across the TRON network and may be used in wallets, applications, and ecosystem services built on TRON.
‍Transaction Fees / Network Resources: TRON uses a resource model based on Bandwidth and Energy. Users may obtain these resources by staking TRX, and where available resources are insufficient, TRX may be burned to pay for network usage.
‍Smart Contract Execution: TRX supports smart contract activity on the TRON blockchain, and network resources such as Energy are required for smart contract deployment and execution.
‍Incentivization / Voting Rewards: Users who stake TRX and vote for Super Representatives may receive voting-related rewards depending on the validator and network conditions.
‍Validation: Super Representatives elected by TRX holders validate transactions and produce blocks on the network, supporting the operation and security of the TRON blockchain.

‍SATSTREET EVALUATION OF TRX
Satstreet Inc. has reviewed and assessed TRX prior to making it available through our services and has concluded that TRX is not a security or derivative under Canadian securities legislation; however, there is a risk that this conclusion could change in the future and that, in such event, Satstreet will be required to halt, suspend, and then remove TRX from its platform as described in the Satstreet Inc. Services Risk Statement. Further, as indicated above, no Canadian securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about TRX, including an opinion that TRX is not itself a security and/or derivative.Based on publicly available information, Satstreet has reviewed TRX, including, but not limited to, a review of the following: the creation, governance, usage, and design of TRX, including the source code, consensus model, security, and roadmap for growth in the developer community and, if applicable, the background of the developer(s) that created TRX. Satstreet also reviewed the supply, demand, maturity, utility, and liquidity of TRX. Official TRON materials describe TRX as the native utility token of the TRON network and describe the network as a blockchain platform supporting decentralized applications, staking, governance, and network resource allocation.Satstreet further considered material technical risks associated with TRX, including any code defects, security breaches, and other threats concerning TRX and its supporting blockchain, such as the susceptibility to hacking, validator concentration risk, resource model complexity, the burning of TRX for network resources, and the impact of forking or major protocol changes. Official TRON materials state that governance and validation depend on the election of 27 Super Representatives by token holders through the staking and voting system.Satstreet also considered legal and regulatory risks associated with TRX, including (i) any pending, potential, or prior civil, regulatory, criminal, or enforcement action relating to the issuance, distribution, or use of TRX, and (ii) statements made by any securities regulatory authorities in Canada, other regulators in IOSCO-member jurisdictions, or the regulator with the most significant connection to TRX about whether TRX, or generally whether the type of crypto asset, is a security and/or derivative.
