Justin Sun Announces Plans for ZK-EVM Integration in TRON and BitTorrent Ecosystems
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron network, has revealed that his blockchain networks, TRON (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT), are actively exploring ways to integrate the zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) into their ecosystems. The integration of ZK rollup, a layer2 solution for off-chain transaction batching, has the potential to bring several benefits to TRON and BitTorrent, including increased privacy and security, improved scalability, and enhanced interoperability with other blockchain platforms.
In an April 5 Twitter thread, Sun emphasized that the exploration of this integration is still in progress and there is no guarantee of implementation. However, he highlighted the commitment of TRON and BitTorrent to innovation and pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology, making it unsurprising that they are seeking new avenues for improvement.
It remains to be seen how the integration of zkEVM will work, but it marks a significant development in the ongoing momentum of Zero-knowledge proofs. In March, Matters Lab and Polygon zkEVM went live on the mainnet, further showcasing the growing interest and adoption of this technology in the blockchain space.
Justin Sun’s Legal Issues
Justin Sun is currently facing civil charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for violating securities law. The lawsuit specifically mentions allegations of manipulating the secondary market for TRX through celebrity marketing and wash trading. Sun has dismissed the charges as lacking merit and an attempt by U.S. authorities to silence the crypto industry. He has also mentioned that Dominica has adopted TRX and BTT as legal tender.
It’s worth noting that Sun’s ambassadorship to the World Trade Organization (WTO) came to an end on March 31.
Conclusion
The potential integration of ZK-EVM into TRON and BitTorrent ecosystems marks a significant development in the blockchain space. With the benefits of increased privacy, security, scalability, and interoperability, this move could potentially bring notable advancements to these networks. However, as the exploration is still ongoing, the outcome remains uncertain. In the meantime, Justin Sun’s legal issues continue to be a topic of interest and discussion in the crypto community.
