TRON, Tether and Chainalysis Are the Founding Members of the Digital Crime Task Force
Drafted with AI, reviewed and published by a human editor.
A new Digital Crime Task Force, @DigitalCrimeTF, counts TRON among its three founding members alongside @tether and @chainalysis, @trondao said (Nov 12, 14:24 UTC; post). Justin Sun wrote that millions rely on USDT on TRON and that the DCTF is there "to identify and disrupt illicit activity" (@justinsuntron, Nov 12, 11:51 UTC; post). In TRON DAO's description, TRON's part is to help defenders connect related activity, identify criminal networks and cut off the financial incentives behind crime (Nov 12, 11:57 UTC; post). A later post from the same account says the task force aims to help law enforcement trace illicit funds and support coordinated action against criminal networks (Nov 12, 19:35 UTC; post).
More than 414 million accounts now exist on TRON, according to @TRONSCAN_ORG (Nov 12, 12:31 UTC; post). The previous round number, 413 million, was reached on Nov 8.
On-Chain
Whale transfers of USD1 on TRON totalled $434,423 between Nov 12, 00:16 UTC and Nov 13, 00:16 UTC, which is 5.23 times its 30-day daily average, according to TronRelic's on-chain data. The figure comes from three recorded transfers, the largest of them 191,343 USD1.
Project Updates
A TRON DAO Forum post titled "A year of USDT freezes on TRON: 30% were visible on-chain more than an hour before they took effect" comes from the user Freezecheck, in the TRON Discussion category. The poster runs the FreezeCheck service, and none of the figures below has been verified. The post says every USDT freeze on TRON needs two of the three owners of the USDT contract's multisig: one owner submits the freeze publicly, and it takes effect only when a second owner confirms it. Across 4,199 freezes from November 2025 to November 2026, the poster reports a median gap of 9.7 minutes between proposal and freeze. It says 1,257 freezes (30%) took more than an hour, and the longest took 167 hours. It also reports that 219 addresses still frozen sent out 65.4 million USDT during that gap, including one transfer of 15.2 million USDT (topic, Nov 12, 11:38 UTC).
Issue #936, "[Discussion] Native Singleton Predeployments for TRON," now has an independent check of the candidate contract. waynercheung, an outside commenter with no commit history in this repository, says the 3,808-byte runtime matches Ethereum's deployed bytes and the pinned hash. He adds that read-only aggregate3 calls behave as expected. He also points out that the deployed address follows TRON's derivation rather than the EIP-1014 form. Because of that, the proxy's address helper at TWuVdPuZ6yo3CGWbCHqwrQLxKvnU5KpJTL predicts an address that does not match the actual TVM deployment. He notes that wallet/getcontract returns an empty ABI, so a node ABI check would record a failure. He asked whether the Nile candidate report could list metadata discovery separately from runtime execution results (comment, Nov 12, 14:34 UTC).
Issue #904, "TRC-8056: Scaled UI Amount Extension for TRC-20 Tokens," now has a proposed direction from its author, yanghang8612, who is a repository contributor. He would allow effectiveAt() either to keep an elapsed timestamp or to return zero, and he tells integrators to check effectiveAt() > block.timestamp instead. Implementations that opt into TransferWithUIAmount would have to emit it alongside every Transfer, including mints, burns and zero-value transfers. UI arithmetic could never make a valid raw operation revert, though he says the fallback value still "needs agreement." He agreed that oldMultiplier should be the multiplier active immediately before the scheduling update. He describes the first and third points as clarifications and the second as new requirements for review (comment, Nov 12, 08:35 UTC).
