In September 2017, Justin established TRON, which is committed to accelerating internet
decentralization through blockchain technology and DApps. In July 2018, TRON acquired BitTorrent, a
pioneer of decentralized service with
nearly 100 million monthly active users, and TRON gradually grew into a full-fledged blockchain
ecosystem. TRON currently provides the largest circulating supply of stablecoin with over 80 million
users and 2.9 billion transactions.
On top of this, TRON has transitioned into a DAO featuring self-governance after realizing full
decentralization in December 2021.
Keenly following the digitalization of artworks, Justin Sun bought masterpieces by Picasso,
Giacometti, Andy Warhol, Beeple, Puk, and KAWS worth over $800 million merely in 2021, most of which
he later donated to APENFT Foundation
for the NFTization and digitalization of artworks. APENFT is backed by the underlying technology of
top-notch blockchains Ethereum and TRON with support from the world's largest distributed storage
system Bittorrent File System
(BTFS) to deliver the mission of registering world-class artworks as NFTs on the blockchain.
Justin Sun also takes an active interest in philanthropy. In 2019, he won a bid for Warren
Buffett's charity lunch with $4.568 million that was later earmarked by the Glide Foundation for the
homeless and helpless; in June
2021, he won the seats of New Shepard by Blue Origin with $28 million that was then donated to
Future Foundation in support of aerospace adventures; he also launched the "Sea of Stars" charity
campaign, where five crewmates will
be chosen to fly with him at the end of 2022.
As the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Grenada to the WTO, he will leverage his
resources and advantages in digital technologies and the digital economy, which have accrued from
his years of experience in the digital
field, to fully commit himself to supporting the growth of Grenada and its neighboring economies.
