TRON Releases Mandatory Node Upgrade as TRX Lists on bitFlyer Japan

Node Release

GreatVoyage-v4.8.2.3 (Anaxagoras) is now available and requires a mandatory upgrade for all node operators, @trondao announced (Sep 30, 14:24 UTC). @trondaoCN stated that node operators should upgrade as soon as possible to maintain uninterrupted block synchronization (Sep 30, 14:39 UTC). The release optimizes smart contract storage access in edge cases, optimizes BN128 pairing performance in edge cases, and improves parsing of node-generated JSON responses.

Exchange Listings

TRX is now listed on bitFlyer, Japan's major digital asset exchange, @trondaoCN reported (Sep 30, 09:53 UTC). @sunyuchentron confirmed the listing (Sep 30, 12:53 UTC). WalletConnect Pay now enables merchants to accept USDT on TRON for both online and in-store payments, @trondao stated (Sep 30, 22:32 UTC).

Treasury Activity

Tron Inc. acquired 148,413 TRX at an average price of $0.3369, bringing total treasury holdings to more than 716.7 million TRX, @TRON_INC reported (Sep 30, 02:14 UTC). The company aims to grow its holdings to enhance long-term shareholder value.

DeFi Activity

The JST buyback-and-burn program has removed 1.71 billion JST from circulation since launching nearly a year ago, representing 17.29% of the total supply, @DeFi_JUST reported (Sep 30, 08:26 UTC). Four rounds have completed, with each burn recorded on-chain. The program connects eligible JUST ecosystem revenue with JST buybacks. JustLend DAO grants have reached $239 million across more than 485,000 users, @DeFi_JUST stated (Sep 30, 06:53 UTC).

What will define the next DeFi Summer is the question @OfficialSUNio posed (Sep 30, 12:11 UTC). The search for yield is returning, but today's conversation shifts toward sustainable yield rather than incentive-driven farming that defined an earlier era. A discussion exploring on-chain yield, capital efficiency, and sustainable growth is scheduled for October 1 at 13:00 UTC, @DeFi_JUST announced (Sep 30, 15:50 UTC). @DeFi_JUST described stablecoin adoption as continuing to grow on TRON, with GasFree removing the need to hold TRX for gas when transferring USDT and USDD (Sep 30, 10:13 UTC).
