Digital economy boosted for new era through innovative means

Hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and market downturn, the crypto community is ushering in innovative means to add strength to the wider crypto world for a new era of digital economy.

Decentralized platform TRON revealed a partnership on April 16 with the composer Hans Zimmer to create a musical masterpiece in the Web3 sphere, as it thinks "music is the ideal medium" to uplift both the TRON community and the wider crypto world.

Justin Sun, founder of TRON — one of the world's largest open blockchain platforms — said the upcoming theme song, set for a global release, symbolizes the unity and pioneering spirit of the TRON community, as well as the global users' shared hope for the digital world's future.

Starting with an exploratory and futuristic prelude, the TRON Anthem develops piece by piece to portray the genesis of a new crypto world, the furious storm on the journey ahead, and the determined marching of believers and builders toward the visible dreamland.

Six years since its launch, TRON has established itself as one of the most pivotal infrastructures within the crypto space. Its official statistics showed TRON has over 227 million users worldwide, more than 7.4 billion total transactions, and over $21.6 billion in total value locked, ranking second in the industry.

The inception of this collaboration was sparked by a deep conversation between Sun and Zimmer in early 2022. Through the dialogue, the two luminaries in different domains unearthed a shared vision and aspiration for the digital future.

Skilled at crafting grand, sweeping soundscapes that authentically capture the intricacies of characters' innermost emotions, Zimmer is a globally acclaimed maestro of film scoring and has won numerous Oscars and Grammy awards.

Sun said this legendary theme song — https://y.qq.com/n/ryqq/albumDetail/001tg2ZH1x5Rpd— is a tribute to the entire TRON community, aiming to inspire and empower users worldwide in ways never seen before.

Captivating with its uplifting melody and deep meaning, the theme song depicts a more open, free, and equitable digital future, bringing great motivation and resonance to the TRON community.

Over the years, TRON has striven to build a decentralized platform in the hope of advancing technical innovation and the global expansion of the digital economy, Sun noted, saying that TRON's vision of building a more open and equitable internet in Web3 has engendered the creation of the TRON Anthem.

Sun has long been an avid admirer of the epic feel and profound emotional depth in Zimmer's compositions. After two years of conscientious planning and orchestration, the collaboration between the two has yielded this fruitful result.

Speaking about the TRON Anthem concepts, Zimmer said: "Part of my job is to do what you can't imagine…Let's make music which has a timeless feel about it. Music that makes you want to go and open your arms and embrace the future in the most humanistic way you can."

TRON's partnership with Zimmer not only signifies the crossover between the music and tech sectors but also transpires its commitment to boosting the Web3 culture.

Sun noted: "The TRON Anthem is an embodiment of the innovative spirit and decentralized ideal that spurs our global users to push the envelope of the digital world and construct a more open, transparent, and vigorous future."

He added that as the musical work becomes well-publicized, TRON looks forward to joining forces with partners and users all over the world to usher in a new era of digital economy and write a new page in human history.
