OpenZeppelin Guide Shows How to Build a USDT Vault on TRON With Hardhat
Drafted with AI, reviewed and published by a human editor.
OpenZeppelin has published a guide that walks developers through building a USDT vault with Hardhat. @trondao shared it as one of several new tools for developers building on TRON, quoting @OpenZeppelin's announcement (Nov 5, 17:40 UTC; post). The TRON DAO post gives no further detail about what the guide covers.
JustLend DAO is now called JustLend under the upgraded JUST brand structure. Its official website has also been updated and now groups lending markets, TRX staking and Energy services into clearer sections, according to @DeFi_JUST (Nov 5, 08:15 UTC; post). TronRelic mentioned the wider JUST brand upgrade on Nov 2. This post adds the JustLend name change and the new website.
@justinsuntron wrote that TRON's commitment to fighting financial crime "doesn't depend on any single alliance." He said TRON will keep working directly with law enforcement and partners to freeze illicit funds and protect USDT users on TRON (Nov 5, 05:50 UTC; post). The post does not say which alliance it means. @sunyuchentron posted the same statement in Chinese (Nov 5, 06:35 UTC; post).
There are now 93 billion USDT on TRON, @justinsuntron posted (Nov 5, 13:42 UTC; post). Later the same day, @trondao put the figure at "nearly $93B," citing @TheBlockCo (Nov 5, 22:01 UTC; post). Both posts quote the same source post.
On-Chain
SUN whale transfers on TRON totalled $8.10 million between Nov 5, 00:16 UTC and Nov 6, 00:16 UTC. That is 15.43 times the token's 30-day daily average, according to TronRelic's on-chain data.
USD1 whale transfers totalled $662,557 over the same window, 13.23 times the token's 30-day daily average.
BTT whale transfers totalled $16.31 million over the same window, 6.65 times the token's 30-day daily average.
Project Updates
The burn-share figures in Issue #938, "Proposal: Decrease getMultiSignFee fees," have been recalculated. simbadMarino, the proposal's author, is an outside commenter with no commit history in this repository. He said he now calculates the ratio directly from the aggregated totals. The result is column K of a v4 spreadsheet that he will add to the proposal body. He has also added a note on failed transactions to the body. He asked reviewers to explain what they mean by asking him to specify the coverage of "Total Burn" (comment, Nov 5, 23:10 UTC). The proposal's table caption now gives about 0.59% for 2026-Q1 and 0.70% for 2026-Q3. Earlier that day, repository contributor lxcmyf drew a distinction between two kinds of failure. A transaction that is included in a block and then fails during execution still pays the surcharge. A transaction rejected before inclusion pays no on-chain fee. He asked that the burn figures state this clearly (comment, Nov 5, 03:20 UTC).
Issue #941 reviews TRON fees in Q3 2026, following the cut in the energy unit price from 210 to 100 sun. A commenter asked it to track what users actually pay for Energy. Redchar1992 is an outside commenter with no commit history in this repository. He pointed out that the share of energy covered by staking mixes three sources: users' own stake, energy sponsored by contract deployers, and other delegated resources. Because of that mix, it does not show which energy was rented. He asked for rental payments to be tracked separately from protocol burn (comment, Nov 5, 03:33 UTC). Repository contributor lxcmyf agreed. Some users rent Energy, he wrote, so lower protocol burn does not necessarily mean their costs fell by the same proportion (comment, Nov 5, 03:43 UTC). On TIP-945, "Optimize TVM Resource Processing," Redchar1992 wrote that java-tron PR #7069 includes two changes behind parameter 104 that the TIP does not yet state. The first persists restored Stake 2.0 Energy usage after a call that consumes zero Energy. The second uses fractional stake amounts when the execution side calculates an account's Energy limit. He asked for both to be written into the specification (comment, Nov 5, 03:33 UTC).
Briefly
TRON DAO's October recap thread listed several integrations. They include TRON's integration with @0xPolygon OMS, TRX options in @blockchain's consumer app, USDT on TRON through @WalletConnect, @Zebec_HQ debit card spending, and USDT on TRON in @dtelecom's x402 gateway, per @trondao (Nov 5, 18:39 UTC; post).

Tron Inc. bought 155,372 TRX at an average price of $0.3218, which takes its treasury above 722.1 million TRX, per @TRON_INC (Nov 5, 01:26 UTC; post).
