- Tron will help build Dominica Coin, a blockchain-based fan token that will help in promoting “Dominica’s global fanfare for its natural heritage and tourist attractions”.
- TRX will be used as an official legal tender to pay for goods and services in Dominica.
In the latest development, the Tron blockchain has been appointed as the official national blockchain infrastructure of Dominica. Besides, the Dominican Republic has also selected Tron as its official partner to develop and issue the nation’s own fan token Dominica Coin (DMC).
This partnership is probably the highest level of cooperation between a sovereign state and a blockchain platform. As part of this partnership, this public blockchain project will launch a series of applications based on emerging technology for other sovereign states.
