The niTron Summit lasted for a couple of days and was held in San Francisco from January 17 – 18. The agenda of the summit was to attract key figures in the crypto market from top speakers, developers, and crypto enthusiasts. The conference was also used to showcase new ideas and experiences in addition to helping the participants network for future potential projects in the industry.

One of the key figures at the summit, Marcus Zhao who heads the Tron public chain praised the achievements in the recent past. He also talked about the future plans where he reckoned at Tron “will listen to the community to achieve the decentralization of developing team and attract more developers to join us.”

He encouraged developers to consider Tron for their decentralized applications saying his team is constantly working to ensure that DApp developers have all the support they need.
