Why the #@%$ did we build SmashTraders on Tron?
Our team has worked hard over the past year developing our new DAPP -SmashTraders.com built on the Tron blockchain. Numerous polite blockchain aficionados have asked why the #@%$ did we build on Tron?
So here is our first FAQ answer… we’ll keep it short and sweet.
When we set out to develop SmashTraders, using an Ethereum based Solidity smart contract seemed like a logical choice. Unfortunately, a couple concerns troubled us including Ethereum POS release date uncertainty and witnessing several DAPP failures due to transaction throughput limitations. For this reason, we felt it was prudent to take a closer look at other applicable blockchains. I won’t go into the specific analysis and decision making process we used to compare the other high throughput block-chains (that is another article), but we inevitably decided to build on Tron.
So here’s why:
- Speed- Tron is fast. The first time we tested Tron out it was so refreshing and exciting to see a block-chain actually perform close to real time. No more waiting painfully with fingers crossed hoping your transaction will be included in the next block! This gives us flexibility for the future and will ensure we have sufficient transaction throughput capability to grow without pain.
2. Free — Wait — what?? With Tron we can supply the energy which makes it FREE for you! We wanted to promote growth and create a game that is legitimately free from transaction fees at least early on. This was feasible on Tron and we went so far as to even enable an airdrop to new users with enough Tron to start using their wallet!
3. Community Support- This one was very important, and we do hope our analysis was correct! Although the Tron community may not be quite as large as the Ethereum community yet, we found that Tron supporters were passionate and went out of their way to support new DAPPS that used Tron. We feel that the quality of our game design should be well received by the community.
4. Decentralized, Secure and Reliable- Tron checked these boxes and we are gaining more and more confidence in the platform as time passes.
5. Big picture- Tron has a BIG vision and ambition … we love that about this project and the sky is never the limit.
6. Leadership- Justin Sun has proven to be a great leader in the sense that he has masterfully combined his incredible technical ability with brilliant marketing and vision. Maybe Warren Buffett should be paying to have lunch with Justin Sun 🤔….
7. Infrastructure- TronScan, Tronlink, Guildchat and other established infrastructure in the Tron ecosystem was a key component for us to move forward with Tron.
8. Solidity- Since Tron Smart contract language is based in Solidity, we were confident the developer support we require now and into the future will be available.
For those of you who asked why we chose Tron we sincerely hope this #$%@#$% answers your question! We think you will agree once you start using Tron its an amazing platform.
