On Wednesday, the TronDAO team announced on X that OpenZeppelin has integrated with TRON to bring its security standard to the network. Developers can now build with audited smart contract components, familiar upgrade workflows, and security tooling designed for the TRON network.
The integration gives developers building on TRON access to OpenZeppelin’s widely used security-focused development framework, adapted specifically for the TRON network. Teams can now build applications using audited contract components, familiar upgrade workflows, and developer tooling designed around TRON’s standards and network capabilities.
OpenZeppelin’s TRON offering includes audited smart contract libraries, secure upgrade tools, and the Contracts Wizard, giving developers trusted building blocks for tokens, access control, governance, and applications that need to evolve over time. Built-in security checks and AI-assisted development support help teams build, deploy, and update applications with greater confidence.
TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system developed by the Tron Foundation and launched in 2017. Originally, TRX tokens were ERC-20-based tokens deployed on Ethereum, but a year later, they were moved to their own network.
Initially, the project was created with the aim of providing full ownership rights to makers of digital content. The main goal is to help content creators (who receive only a small part of the income) and encourage them with more rewards for their work. How: invite content consumers to reward content makers directly (without intermediaries like YouTube, Facebook, or Apple).
The TRON software supports smart contracts, various kinds of blockchain systems, and decentralized applications, aka dApps. The cryptocurrency platform uses a transaction model similar to Bitcoin (BTC), namely UTXO. Transactions take place in a public ledger, where users can track the history of operations.
TRON is a public blockchain attempting to become the core infrastructure for a decentralized internet. TRON relies on a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism in which 27 Super Representatives rotate every 6 hours to validate blocks and transactions. TRX is down 1.3% today and is trading at $0.3386 at press time.
