How did the upgrade affect the network? The main goal of the changes was to increase the effectiveness of restraining the growth of the number of low-value smart contract transactions and the harm they can cause. In addition, the update should significantly increase the stacking rate and TRX burn volume. The token deflation rate should rise to 3.17% and the annual burn rate to 5 billion.

After the upgrade was implemented, users began to report problems when transferring funds on the TRON network and using wallets with automatic determination of fees. Software developers are working on updates at an accelerated pace to address the issues. The TRX token has not yet had any reaction to the incidents. As of December 5, the asset is trading at $0,05366, the price of TRX up by 0,96% per day, according to Binance.

Earlier, TRON blockchain founder Justin Sun responded to a tweet from El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who said that the country would start investing in bitcoin daily. The businessman supported the state’s initiative, saying that from November 18 he would also start buying 1 BTC every day.

On November 12, Sun publicly acknowledged buying the Huobi crypto exchange for the first time. Previously, he denied that he was the ultimate beneficiary of the purchase of a controlling stake in the exchange, claiming that he was only a member of its global advisory board.
