The on-chain accounts of TRON have surpassed 360 million. This number is not fake—it is the result of real usage accumulation.

Why are so many people using TRON? Ultimately, it comes down to these points: what does the number of accounts reflect? First is the cost advantage. Transfer fees are ridiculously low, with USDT transfers often approaching zero cost, making small fund flows completely stress-free. This is a necessity for users who interact frequently. Second is speed. On-chain confirmations only take a few seconds, providing a smooth high-frequency operation experience. Compared to other public chains that take tens of seconds or even longer to produce blocks, this advantage is obvious. It is these two factors—low fees + fast speed—that have made TRON the practical choice for many. The growth in account numbers essentially reflects users voting with their feet.

360 million accounts sound impressive, but we have to ask how many are truly active... The fees are cheap, and the speed is fast, but what about the ecosystem? That's the real bottleneck. TRON has relied on low fees to fatten a bunch of airdrop hunters, honestly. They boast about the number of accounts every day, but I want to ask, where is the real dapp ecosystem? Being cheap is indeed an advantage, but if this continues, will it just become a pure transfer tool? Fast speed and low fees are a perfect combo, no wonder it's so easy to harvest profits. 360 million—how many of these are zombie accounts? Who knows?

360 million accounts, in simple terms, means there are many people exploiting the system. Low fees and fast transactions are indeed comfortable, but what about the ecosystem? Really, I respect USDT zero-cost transfers, but don’t just praise the numbers; we need to see real applications with actual money. Talking about voting with your feet every day, but actually it’s just easier to harvest the leek. But to be fair, the transaction fees on this are indeed much higher than Ethereum’s, that’s for sure. The numbers look great, but the real skill is in retaining talent.

360 million accounts? Honestly, the transfer fees are really high, but how many of them are truly active?

360 million accounts sound impressive, but how many are actually active? --- I believe in zero-cost transfers; I'm just worried that the policy might change suddenly someday. --- Fast is fast, but how about security? Voting with your feet is one thing, but long-term stability is what matters. --- To put it simply, it's cheap and fast. It's really attractive for people who perform frequent transactions, but who knows how long this can last. --- Low fees are indeed a killer feature; no wonder so many people are transferring to TRON. --- Having many accounts doesn't really mean much; the key is whether these accounts are truly in use.

3.6 billion accounts sound impressive, but how many are truly active? --- Low fees + fast transactions are indeed attractive, but major players have long moved to Ethereum --- USDT zero-cost transfers are truly unbeatable, a paradise for small investors --- Having many accounts does not equal a strong ecosystem; this logic should be approached with caution --- When transfer fees are cheap, go for TRON, a typical pursuit of liquidity --- Fast speed and low costs are undeniable advantages, no wonder so many people are here

3.6 billion accounts, to be honest, sound a bit outrageous, but it's indeed incredibly cheap, with almost no fees to transfer U.

3.6 billion accounts sound great, but how many are truly active? Don't just look at the numbers; trading volume is the real king. TRON is indeed cheap and fast, but the ecosystem is still a bit thin. Low fees definitely hit the mark, meeting the needs of small users. Fast speed is great, but how is security ensured? Just want to know how many zombie accounts are among these... Voting with your feet, huh? Well, low gas fees are really the biggest attraction. Cheap, fast + stable—this is TRON's core competitiveness. Having many users doesn't necessarily mean a good ecosystem; be clear on that. Low fees are enjoyable, but don't overlook the risks.

36 million accounts, in other words, it's all about the money talking. The fees are incredibly low. That's right, TRON is now a paradise for arbitrage players, with transfer costs almost zero. Who wouldn't love that? The phrase "vote with your feet" is very appropriate; data backed by real cash is the most convincing.

ngl, 3.6b accounts sounds like a lot until you realize half are probably dust wallets and bot farms lmao... but yeah the fees ARE stupid cheap, can't deny that. the real cascade effect tho? everyone's just chasing liquidity where it's liquid, that's the alpha right there.
