In the second quarter of 2019, developers of the Tron decentralized applications platform plan to present several important updates and new tools designed to enhance the functionality of the network.

This was written on Twitter by co-founder of the IAmDecentralized.org project Misha Lederman. In particular, he identified four key areas that will be implemented in the Tron ecosystem.

Four major developments for #TRON in coming weeks & months of Q2:

1. BitTorrent Speed, $ BTT

2. Institutional-friendly multi-signature & account management

3. USDT-TRON stablecoin launch on #TRX blockchain

4. Implementing privacy option for transactions #IAmDecentralized $ TRX

Firstly, this is BitTorrent Speed, an application with which users will receive rewards in BTT tokens for distributing torrents.

Secondly, the developers plan to add support for institutional users-oriented wallets with the multisign function, as well as a more advanced account management system.

Thirdly, Tron is preparing to launch the USDT token on the blockchain – its implementation is carried out in partnership with the issuer of steklokoinov Tether. The new TRC-20 token will be compatible with all protocols and decentralized Tron-based applications.

We add that on the eve of the upcoming support of the stablebcoin Tron announced the cryptocurrency exchange OKEx.

Finally, it is planned to add new features designed to increase the privacy of transactions. In particular, we are talking about the technology zk-SNARKS, which was originally adopted by the developers of cryptocurrency Zcash.

Note that the plans to integrate zk-SNARKS founder Tron Justin San mentioned last fall in the podcast Bad Crypto .

“People do not want their private data to be stored with Facebook or Google, which can manipulate and target users with these data. No one wants to give them this data. Therefore, I think that the best way to limit the transfer of personal data to third parties is decentralization, ”Justin Sun said then.

Recall that in late February, the Center for the Development of the Information Technology Industry of China (CCID) published another rating of cryptocurrencies , in which Tron (TRX) first appeared. At the same time, the cryptocurrency immediately ranked second, passing only the unchanged leader of the EOS rating ahead.
