However, Tron switched to its independent network in 2018, when the community was mature enough to justify the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Tron has some capabilities to expand into the DeFi world, Ethereum has proven itself a more reliable network time and time again, allowing it to capture most of the DeFi marketshare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the difference between Tron and Ethereum?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest different is speed. Tron can do up to 2000 transactions per minute whereas Ethereum can only handle about 60. The avg. time for a TRX transaction is ~15 seconds compared to ETH\u2019s 6 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will Tron overtake Ethereum in dApp development?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some popular people in the crypto sphere may have stated otherwise, it\u2019s highly unlikely that Tron will ever overtake Ethereum due to its niche focus on content creation and entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRON and Ethereum are two cryptocurrencies that are often compared between one another in \u201cVS\u201d comparisons.
