Sun is famous for being the creator and CEO of the TRON Foundation, which developed the TRON protocol, one of the leading blockchain-based operating systems.

Although the volume of his Bitcoin purchases is unknown, by the time he returned to Beijing in 2013 he was already one of the newest crypto millionaires. It was then that he discovered the world of cryptocurrencies.

Without even realising it and through exceptional foresight or sheer luck, Sun became a millionaire by betting on Bitcoin in its early days. Sun's subsequent return to China marked the beginning of a busy year for the ambitious entrepreneur.

From 2013 to 2016, he served as Ripple Labs' top representative in China, chief delegate and advisor.

Today, TRON (TRX) is one of the top twenty cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation. In December 2020, it was ranked 18th, with a market cap of over $2 billion. In addition, since 2017, Justin Sun also became the CEO of BitTorrent once Sun and the Tron Foundation bought BitTorrent in June 2018 for $120 million.

Tron recently officially unveiled the Sun Network, which is a sidechain scale platform intended to provide limitless scale capability for the Tron network.

The solution will allegedly allow DApps to spend less energy while ensuring greater robustness and efficiency. Sun explained that many Tron DApps will move to the Sun Network to provide greater scalability.

It also noted that a team of specialists is working privately to resolve scalability issues between Tron and BitTorrent, which is a critical task as Tron plans to bring 100 million BitTorrent users onto its Blockchain.
