Tron
Tron blockchain
A high-throughput L1 with the largest [[usdt]] float by issued supply, used heavily for retail remittance flows.
Tron USDT issuance crossed mainnet ETH supply in 2023 and has continued to grow. Justin Sun is the principal backer. Validator set ("Super Representatives") is small and concentrated; the chain trades decentralisation for throughput and fee economics that suit USDT-rail use cases.
