TRON Gets Into Yield Farming With TronFi Leading The Charge

TRON gets into yield farming with many copycats of the Yam.Finance platform after one year of sharing the image during the 2019 Conesnsys conference so let’s read more in our TRON TRX news.

Tron gets into DeFi as Justin Sun, the founder of the cryptocurrency shared his idea a year ago. The pivot into decentralized finance which has taken the crypto industry by storm in the past few months started with the launch of JustSwap , the decentralized exchange that utilizes the automated market maker concept which got extremely popular thanks to Uniswap.

The builders in the Tron ecosystem are following up on the success so far with the new DeFi protocols that feature yield farming schemes. The interesting thing is that they do resemble Ethereum’s protocols such as yam.Finance. Tron is getting Defi protocols that resemble Yam.finance once JustSwap was launched with a firm “TronFi” leading. Pearl.finance, Carrot.finance, and Salmon.finance have been launched so far and all of these feature liquidity mining incentives that entice investors to deposit USDT, TRX, and other tokens into the protocols in order to be able to mint a governance token.

It’s still not clear how much traction Tron’s DeFi protocols are gaining but there are growth opportunities for the blockchain in the short-term because of the high ethereum fees. The users pay up to $60 to trade on Uniswap and even more to complete complex transactions as retail investors are looking to participate in yield farming that will opt to use TRON and to test it. The launch of the DeFi ecosystem had a positive effect on the price of TRX. The coin increased by 14.24 percent over the past day and 80 percent in the past week alone. This makes the asset the best performing one in the top 20.

While Tron’s yield farming setups now are inspired by Ethereum’s Yam.Finance, SushiSwap and other projects are getting inside of this branch of Defi. Michael “BoxMining”  Gu posted an image of himself downloading the TRX application for the Ledger Nano S. others in the community noted that they are getting into the Defi ecosystem as well. There were some negative reactions as well by those who believe that Tron is ripping off some of the ETH applications.
