Prague and Osaka upgrades live on TRON as network adds 100 million accounts last year

Ethereum compatibility

Committee Proposal No. 107 took effect Aug 28, 14:00 Singapore time, activating TVM compatibility with Ethereum's Prague and Osaka upgrades through the GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 release, @trondao announced (Aug 28, 10:35 UTC). The upgrade enables historical block hash queries from on-chain state and adds CLZ instruction support, @trondao stated. @trondaoCN confirmed the changes now live, noting ALLOW_TVM_PRAGUE enables direct historical block hash reading from chain state (Aug 28, 08:57 UTC).

Another step forward for builders on TRON, @trondao posted, calling the upgrade closer alignment with Ethereum's latest execution standards (Aug 28, 20:53 UTC).

Network scale

TRON recently surpassed 400 million accounts, adding its latest 100 million in just over a year, @trondao reported (Aug 28, 22:39 UTC). The network has processed more than 15.2 billion transactions with cumulative transfer volume nearing $30 trillion, continuing to scale at a global level, the post stated.

Stablecoin supply on TRON reached $89.2 billion in Q2 2026, bringing the network to 28.7% of the global stablecoin market, @trondao disclosed, citing @Crypto_Briefing (Aug 28, 18:54 UTC). Weekly inflows have topped $700 million, with some weeks surpassing $1 billion, the account added. Stablecoin transfer volume on TRON reached $173 billion for the week Aug 21–27, @TRONSCAN_ORG posted (Aug 28, 11:49 UTC).

Stablecoin card top-up volume has reached $13.8 billion cumulatively, with TRON accounting for 21% of August volume, @trondao stated, citing data by @CryptoRank_io (Aug 28, 17:29 UTC). Another signal of stablecoins becoming part of everyday spending at scale, the post added.

DeFi activity

Energy pricing on JustLend DAO dropped following a base rate cut from 15% to 8%, @DeFi_JUST disclosed (Aug 28, 06:55 UTC). Current pricing stands at 4.114 TRX per 100,000 energy, or 41 sun per day, the account reported. Lower energy cost means cheaper smart contract execution, and efficiency is part of every good DeFi strategy, @DeFi_JUST stated.

USDD is now supported through GasFree, @DeFi_JUST announced, allowing USDD holders to transfer without separately holding TRX for gas (Aug 28, 10:34 UTC). GasFree keeps expanding, the account added, disclosing that ethereum:0x4f8e5de400de08b164e7421b3ee387f461becd1a is now supported through GasFree on @klever_io (Aug 28, 08:43 UTC). Less friction, fewer steps, just simpler on-chain transactions, @DeFi_JUST stated.

SUN's 51st buyback-and-burn round has completed, @OfficialSUNio reported, with 678,548,010 tokens permanently burned to date (Aug 28, 04:18 UTC). Value accrual for SUN is designed to be deterministic, the account stated, with protocol revenues from SunSwap, SunPump, and SUNX routed directly into the programmatic buyback and burn model.

Hong Kong and quantum

H.E. @justinsuntron joined Sean Hagan at @Bitcoinconfasia for a fireside conversation on his evolving perspective, ecosystem growth, and where he sees the next opportunities emerging, @trondao disclosed (Aug 28, 06:30 UTC). Hong Kong showed up, @trondao stated, calling it a full day discussing digital assets and the future of global finance (Aug 28, 13:37 UTC).

@justinsuntron first learned about Bitcoin around 2012, when it was a social experiment, he posted (Aug 28, 06:23 UTC). Today Bitcoin is becoming a global macro asset and stablecoins are becoming global financial infrastructure, and that journey is a big part of why he built TRON, @justinsuntron stated.

@sunyuchentron addressed quantum computing timelines at Bitcoin Asia, stating that at the current pace of AI and quantum development, Q-Day may arrive within two years (Aug 28, 13:48 UTC). "Even if there's an 80% safety probability, I don't want to gamble; I want 100% safety," @trondaoCN quoted him as stating (Aug 28, 13:00 UTC). TRON's quantum-resistant mechanism and related addresses have entered testing and are planned for network-wide rollout before year-end, @trondaoCN disclosed (Aug 28, 12:13 UTC). TRON is always focused on long-term construction, @trondaoCN added, with the quantum-resistant upgrade scheduled for completion before year-end to further strengthen future-oriented security and resilience (Aug 28, 03:23 UTC).

Treasury and public engagement

Tron Inc. acquired 147,590 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.3388, increasing its TRX treasury holdings to more than 711.8 million TRX in total, @TRON_INC disclosed (Aug 28, 02:50 UTC). The company aims to further grow its TRON DAT holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value, the post stated.

John Hurston, General Counsel at TRON, participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by Brazil's National Council of the Public Ministry and DCGG on digital asset recovery, @trondaoCN reported (Aug 28, 04:25 UTC). The discussion focused on consumer protections, fund restitution, and the importance of strengthening public-private collaboration against illegal digital asset activity, the account stated.

Project Updates

Proposal #916 [Issue #916 in the TIPs repository is the specification behind Committee Proposal No. 107 described above; it prescribes the exact vote, createProposal 95 1 96 1] in the TIPs repository, titled "Enable the Prague and Osaka Upgrades to Enhance Compatibility with Ethereum," received a new comment Aug 28, 11:12 UTC. The proposal activated network parameters #95 and #96 on TRON mainnet, enabling the Prague and Osaka upgrade features included in GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho) to enhance TRON's compatibility with Ethereum. Parameter 95 enables ALLOW_TVM_PRAGUE, activating Prague-related functionality that serves historical block hashes from state and provides improved compatibility for applications requiring access to a longer block-hash history. Parameter 96 enables ALLOW_TVM_OSAKA, activating Osaka-related TVM features including the Count Leading Zeros (CLZ) opcode, MODEXP input upper bounds, adjusted MODEXP energy cost, precompile support for the secp256r1/P-256 curve, standardized calldata encoding for signature-verification precompiles, and standardized MODEXP output length when the modulus is zero. These changes align TVM behavior more closely with the corresponding Ethereum upgrades and reduce compatibility differences for smart contracts, development tools, and cross-chain applications, the proposal states. The proposal is authored by yanghang8612 (CONTRIBUTOR association) and has drawn 23 comments since opening on July 24. Source: https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/916
