Tron [TRX] ecosystem heads for decentralization as the foundation announces dissolving by July 25, 2022. The crypto wunderkind and founder of the Tron cryptocurrency platform, Justin Sun has announced stepping down from the role as the CEO.

In an open letter, Sun highlighted Tron’s journey since its inception on June 25, 2018. The exec believes that the network is sufficiently self-sustainable as a decentralized autonomous organization [DAO]. He further revealed the official withdrawal of Tron Foundation’s three original nodes – “justinsuntron,” “BitTorrent,” and “µTorrent” from the network’s representatives. Instead, the community will now be operated by 27 super representatives.

“I’m not retiring from TRON, but rather stepping down from active involvement to serve as a leader and supporter role now that the TRON network has been truly decentralized. I will still be engaged with the TRON community and push for further advancement of the TRON blockchain.”

Despite resigning from his position, Sun maintained that he will continue to support and encourage the development of the TRX ecosystem and its decentralized community.

The once top-ten cryptocurrency, TRX has slipped significantly over the past year. It was now the 24th-largest with a market cap of $8.35 billion. After a fresh decline of 6.28% over the past day, TRX was exchanging hands at $0.081.
