Tron CEO Justin Sun has confirmed that the native token of his blockchain, TRX, is live on the Solana network and ready for buying.

Sun confirmed this in a tweet on 20 March, in which he reassured his followers that his account had not been hacked and TRX had truly been added to the Solana network.

An unusual partnership

Sun had to assure his followers that his account was not hacked because it is unexpected and unusual for the TRX token, which is currently only supported on Tron to be supported on Solana.

At best, Tron and Solana are competitors, since they are both proof-of-stake (PoS) networks looking to dominate the space in a race with Ethereum. 

When the crypto mogul announced a few days ago that TRX was coming to Solana, it was unbelievable and many of his 4 million followers were asking what he meant.

Today, it has become a reality as the token is live on the Solana network and can be sent and received seamlessly. Sun also revealed the contract address for the token, revealing that indeed it was a true collaboration.

What’s the catch?

Sun’s followers are shocked at the development, and for good reason because there can be no collaboration between two computing networks, unless there’s another side to the story.

This means Solana may have its own way of returning the favor now or later. That isn’t known yet, but it could be the listing of SOL on the Tron network as well.

It remains to be seen what comes out of this collaboration in the future, but TRX users now have two blockchains they can use to send and receive the token, which is a win.
