TRON vs EOS: Which is the better choice for you?
As the value in cryptocurrencies goes up and down every day there are a few coins that are steadily rising. Those are EOS, Cardano’s ADA, Stellar Lumen’s XLM and Tron’s TRX.
The last seven days have been pretty good for Tron with an 11.8% increase while EOS grew by 6.3%. Both coins are having a very good run right now, but their performance begs two questions. Why are they doing so well? Can they keep performing in the future?
The Platforms
Right now both crypto coins are based on ERC-20 technology, but they are both trying to shake it off to become blockchains in their own right. The situation and the objectives are different for each, let’s see how.
EOS just wants to become a real blockchain product (by real we mean decentralized) because it’s had a lot of criticism about authenticity. It has performed well, but doubts still remain about its technology’s reliability and safety. EOS’ main aim is to make it easier and cheaper to trade crypto assets, but for that, they need to become a real coin everybody trusts.
TRON’s idea is different. They want to decentralize the web and transform the gaming industry. They want to ultimately become a platform for content creation and not a financial service or asset only.
Tron’s and EOS Main Net Launch: A step forward in tech and performance
One of the reasons for both coins to have performed so well recently is that they are both launching their own Main Net soon. Tron‘s launch will be on May 31st and EOS‘ will launch its Main Net on June 2. Both events have been providing excitement and expectations for investors and enthusiasts alike.
What does each launch mean? It’s all about both projects dropping the ERC-20 tech and become full-fledged projects on their own, using their very own blockchains. It’s about authenticity and autonomy. From that point in time on, the blockchain they produce will be their own and that is attracting some big names to them such as Bittrex, Huobi, and Antpool, the mining giant.
Tron’s Main Net launch, next May 31st will surely boost TRX’s value even further. Investors already know what to expect and how to prepare so they’ll be ready when the move happens.
EOS is preparing a similar move but it seems that it’s Tron who holds the upper hand on this, with some big players already supporting it.
EOS vs. TRON: Market performance
CoinMarketCap currently ranks EOS as the fifth cryptocurrency at $17.19 per token. Tron is eleventh at $0.083. Over the last day, EOS has lost 4.7% of its value while Tron has lost about 4.6% (they are going neck to neck here, too – wow).
Even with those recent losses taken into account, Tron remains the most profitable coin for the last week, as it’s increased more than 11% while EOS has grown by about 6% only. That being said, the fact remains that EOS’ trading volume is much higher than Tron’s; it’s at 3.5 billion as we write this. This is two billion higher than Tron.
The fact that both projects have reached volumes surpassing a billion dollars is astonishing in itself. It puts them in the world’s top four in terms of trading which is quite meaningful. The world’s first is, of course, Bitcoin at $8.4 billion, then comes EOS. Third is Ethereum and then it’s Tron. So both coins are up there, playing with the bigger boys and giving them a run for their money.
Final remarks
So which one should you choose? Both are great blockchain projects that hold a lot of promise for investors, enthusiasts, partners and the public in general. EOS looks better right now but as things develop, Tron could surprise everybody. We don’t think you should choose among them. On the contrary, a good cryptocurrency portfolio should include both currencies.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
