Tenth Largest Crypto TRON to Leave Ethereum, Launches Beta Version of Own Blockchain

The move to Tron’s MainNet – also dubbed Odyssey 2.0 – is part of a transition away from the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, which currently underpins the cryptocurrency’s network.

According to the press release, MainNet’s beta testing period will span most of June. The full launch of the network’s Genesis block is set to take place on June 25, styled ‘Independence Day’ by the TRON foundation.

Token ‘migration’ will take place between June 21 and June 24, during which investors will be able to exchange their ERC-20 standard tokens on crypto exchanges for an equivalent number of TRX on the new blockchain.
