Tron.live, a site managed by Tron community recently posted about a domain acquisition by Tron. It said that the founder recently acquired the domain “Blockchain.org.” However, there isn’t an official update from either Tron or Justin Sun. The BlockPitch Team hasn’t received responses to the sent inquiries!
Domain names matter a lot. When it comes to a brand’s identity, the domain name can spell volumes. In a major acquisition today, the TRON Foundation has now acquired the domain Blockchain.org. The website will now be converted into a aggregated data portal and a search engine, aimed specifically at those looking forward to develop the blockchain technology or to know more about it.
Since there has been no official reporting about this acquisition, BlockPitch team has tried to get in touch with the Tron’s press team multiple times and haven’t received a response yet. This update wasn’t just covered on unknown sites, but known Ethereum news site, EthereumWorldNews also reported about it, so there is a chance that it could be true.
Moreover, the website, under TRON’s Justin Sun, would now provide a number of services for those who plan to work on blockchain development. These services include the likes of project evaluation, analysis of big data and providing various kinds of information. With this, the aim is to understand what the blockchain community’s wants and needs are.
TRON’s statement on BlockChain.org was:
“We can truly see Justin and his team’s determination to build a solid TRON platform in the blockchain field. We believe with the integration of Tron Virtual Machine (TVM) and BitTorrent, it will take TRON further in the blockchain world. The future is indeed exciting for TRON.”
If you were to open the platform now, you would only be met with the text: “Search Engine of the Blockchain World + Big Data Platform”. However, there are plans for developing this further which would be actioned upon soon. Domain name acquisitions matter a lot in the world of cryptocurrencies. Last month, the Crypto.com domain, which was owned by Matt Blaze since 1993 was sold to Monaco, a firm working towards developing a cryptocurrency debit card.
At the time of this writing, TRON (TRX) is the 11th largest cryptocurrency in the markets with a market capitalization of $1.52 Billion. TRON has been in the news lately, particularly over their owner Justin Sun’s recent accolades at the Hupan University where he was tutored by Alibaba founder Jack Ma. Secondly, TRON’s acquisition of BitTorrent has also been generating a lot of buzz around the firm.
