The high activity on the network could be attributed to the dApps on the Tron network. Similarly, SunSwap, a popular dApp on the Tron protocol, observed a 15.67% uptick in the number of unique active wallets on its network. The number of transactions on the dApp increased as well, reaching a high of 102,470 at the time of writing.

Despite such a spike in activity on the Tron network and its dApps, its presence in the DeFi sector continued to worsen.
According to Defi Llama’s data, the overall TVL of Tron declined from $5.41 billion to $5.16 billion over the past week. The declining TVL on Tron’s network could prove to be detrimental to its success in the DeFi space in the long run.
No TRX up Tron’s sleeve
Tron’s native cryptocurrency, TRX, did not see any growth during this period despite the network’s high activity. Based on Santiment’s data, the volume on TRX declined from 422.51 million to 210.93 million in a month, despite soaring prices.
