TRON DAO, the community-governed organization behind the TRON blockchain, participated in two major industry gatherings in Singapore this month, with founder Justin Sun appearing on the main stages of both TOKEN2049 Singapore and Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) Asia 2026. The company said it served as Title Sponsor of TOKEN2049, while DAS Asia was held at Marina Bay Sands. The appearances placed Sun in front of an audience weighted toward institutions at a moment when stablecoins and tokenized assets are drawing increasing attention from traditional finance.
Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets as Practical Infrastructure
The following day, October 8, Sun took the TOKEN2049 main stage with Kevin Follonier, founder of When Shift Happens, for a session billed as “Fireside Chat with Justin Sun.” The discussion explored the future of blockchain, stablecoins, AI agents and the broader evolution of global finance. TRON DAO also maintained a dedicated booth at the conference, where attendees could engage with the project’s community and learn about its work across stablecoin payments, decentralized applications and AI-driven financial infrastructure. Outside the conference floor, the organization hosted a Creators and Media Networking Happy Hour.
AI Agents, Quantum Readiness and the Justin Sun Prize
Sun’s most forward-looking remarks centered on autonomous AI agents. “AI agents using crypto will become the industry’s biggest use case within the next five years,” Sun said. “As AI agents begin to transact, pay and operate autonomously, blockchain will become the financial infrastructure behind them. TRON’s focus is to provide the fast, efficient and accessible settlement layer that can support this next generation of global finance.” He predicted that AI agents will increasingly make payments, purchase digital services and manage financial activity on behalf of users.
Sun also addressed quantum computing risk, noting that TRON has already made meaningful progress toward post-quantum readiness, with end-to-end post-quantum signature support deployed on the Nile testnet. He pointed to the mathematics underpinning blockchain cryptography and highlighted the Justin Sun Prize, which he describes as the “Nobel Prize of the AI Era.” Structured as a zero-trust, decentralized academic bounty mechanism built around a “problem list,” the prize recognizes breakthroughs in fundamental disciplines verified through machine formal verification and seeks to accelerate fundamental research through collaboration between humans and AI.
Network Scale and the Road Ahead
TRON’s reported metrics underscore the scale it brings to these discussions. As of October 2026, the company says the network has recorded over 407 million total user accounts, more than 15 billion total transactions and over $28 billion in total value locked, based on TRONSCAN. Founded in September 2017, TRON launched its MainNet in May 2018 and has since branded itself as a global settlement layer for stablecoin transactions and everyday purchases. Across both Singapore events, the discussions underscored TRON’s focus on building infrastructure for a financial system increasingly shaped by stablecoins, tokenized assets, AI agents and more resilient digital-asset networks.
