TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), proudly served as Gold Sponsor of SmartCon 2025, held on November 4-5, 2025 in New York City. SmartCon brought together governments, financial institutions, and leading Web3 projects together to discuss the blockchain technologies transforming markets, public services, and the global economy.
On Day 1, Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for TRON DAO, took the stage as part of a high-profile panel discussion titled “Onchain Equities and More: Why Tokenization is Finally Clicking.” Joined by industry leaders Michael Bentley, Co-Founder and CEO of Euler Finance; Shyam Nagarajan, Chief Operating Officer of Hedera; Torab Torabi, CEO of Move Industries; and moderated by Eric Turner, CEO of Messari, the session explored the accelerating shift of real-world assets to blockchain infrastructure. Panelists examined how tokenized equities are expanding global market access, reducing settlement friction, and opening new opportunities for institutional and retail participation. Representing TRON’s leadership in stablecoin settlement and real-world asset adoption, Elfarra emphasized how scalable public chains are creating the foundation for the next generation of global finance.
The first day concluded with TRON DAO hosting SmartCon’s official Welcome Mixer in the Expo Hall, a dedicated networking reception featuring TRON branded refreshments and light bites. The event provided a professional yet relaxed setting for attendees to build new relationships, exchange insights, and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of blockchain with members of the global Web3 community.
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, delivered the opening keynote on Day 2 from the Grand Central Main Stage, titled “Connecting the World through TRON.” In his address, Sun outlined TRON’s vision for a seamlessly interconnected blockchain ecosystem and shared major progress across the network, including breakthrough achievements from the T3 Financial Crime Unit (T3 FCU).
“In August of this year, we announced the launch of T3+. T3+ is a global collaborator program designed to expand public-private collaboration to combat illicit activities on the blockchain and we welcomed Binance as the program’s first official member,” said Sun. “In under one year, T3 FCU has frozen over $300 million in criminal assets across all continents except Africa.”
TRON DAO’s participation at SmartCon 2025 underscores its commitment to advancing global Web3 adoption and fostering cross-ecosystem collaboration. As builders, developers, and institutions unite around a more open and scalable future, TRON continues to engage with industry leaders, contribute to meaningful dialogue and support innovation across the decentralized landscape.
