If we are to talk about old smart contract project that's on par with ETH in existence term it will be Tron, how can Tron still be value at few cents since released? What's holding this project back? Transaction fee is cheap and transaction speed is faster, I'm just surprised how matic, Polkadot and Avalanche that are new projects beats Tron TRC20.. is Justin Sun to be blame for its failure?
No doubt that fee in tron is truly cheap. But projects are free to choose for their own networks and it's that there are projects that still rely on decentralized network of Ethereum.
The co founder of tron even said that it's centralized and that's the reason that holds them back. Sun has already resigned or retired as the ceo of it.
But the damage has already been done regardless Justin Sun has retired or left the Tron, TRX was once pitched to be the successor of ETH and would become #1 Altcoin but things never picked up for TRON due to the controversy involving Justin Sane and I don't thing it can be revived without a radical changes which would be required for it to grow further and what the point of having supply when the value has not given.
