The Future of Cryptocurrency: Beyond Blockchain, Focusing on Complex Adaptive Systems
Current discussions about the future of cryptocurrency often center around blockchain technology. However, we believe the true future lies in Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). Blockchain merely addresses liquidity issues, with its core value being the provision of transparent "trust code." Bitcoin is not simply a blockchain application but rather an innovative example of CAS in the digital world, whose intrinsic mechanisms hint at the future direction of cryptocurrency.
Blockchain technology enhances the liquidity of digital assets through distributed ledgers and consensus mechanisms, building trust through transparency. Public chains like BSC and TRON are typical applications of blockchain as liquidity solutions. However, blockchain is essentially a centralized trust transfer mechanism, making it difficult to directly map individual rights and perceive complex realities.
Bitcoin's uniqueness lies in its emergence as a CAS, composed of three key elements: the UTXO model, P/NP asymmetric perception of reality, and the consensus ledger. The UTXO model directly maps digital assets to individual rights, truly embodying individual sovereignty. Specifically, PoW miners perform complex distributed computations within the network to find a Nonce value that meets the difficulty target (an NP problem). This is a computationally intensive process requiring significant energy consumption. Meanwhile, nodes in the consensus ledger network only need to verify whether the Nonce submitted by miners is valid and whether transaction signatures are correct (a P problem), which can be completed in polynomial time. This computational asymmetry enables the Bitcoin network to uniquely perceive and confirm real-world transactions. Behind this process is the injection of real electrical energy into the distributed network, forming an energy-conservation loop through consumption and verification, ensuring the immutability of transactions and anchoring their value. The consensus ledger acts as a centralized notary of trust code, recording and verifying transactions to achieve liquidity and transparency.
Therefore, emerging fields such as DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), DID (Decentralized Identity), and GameFi should actively explore development directions grounded in CAS. They need to draw inspiration from Bitcoin's innovations in UTXO mapping individual sovereignty, P/NP asymmetric perception of reality, and consensus ledger trust construction to build human-machine symbiotic systems capable of perceiving broader real-world information and directly protecting individual rights. Only in this way can cryptocurrency break through the existing DeFi framework and truly penetrate various aspects of the physical economy and digital life, creating more diverse and valuable application scenarios. Blockchain is merely one component of CAS, but the future landscape of cryptocurrency based on CAS will be far more expansive.

# The future of cryptocurrency lies not in blockchain, but in CAS.
- Blockchain technology can only solve one problem: liquidity. It demonstrates one advantage: transparency, transitioning from trusting people to trusting code. Ethereum technology forked from BSC and EOS technology forked from TRX are typical products of blockchain technology implementation. They provide liquidity solutions that are more transparent than trusting people.
- BTC is not blockchain technology. It is CAS (Complex Adaptive System) technology.
# Bitcoin exhibits the nonlinear adaptability of CAS through three types of formalized technologies.
- 1. The mapping of personal rights in UTXO achieves decentralization. It integrates 1:1 human-machine interaction and merges humans with technology.
- 2. P/NP asymmetric problem-solving computation and verification achieve perception of reality, merging with nature.
- 3. The consensus ledger provides centralized notarization for trusted code, which is the only aspect of technology referred to as blockchain technology.
Therefore, the future of cryptocurrency lies in CAS (Complex Adaptive Systems), enabling various systems similar to BTC that can perceive reality and protect individual sovereignty, creating human-machine symbiosis systems.
The 10-year development of blockchain technology has already proven its limitations, confined to the functionality of transparency through trusted code. It cannot solve the issues of perceiving reality or restoring individual sovereignty (which is true decentralization).

TRON (TRX) is a blockchain platform founded by crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun in 2014. It is focused on changing the landscape of the media and content creation industry. TRON helps media and content creators retain ownership of their work while being rewarded directly by consumers. With TRON, creators do not need to sell their work rights to big corporations to reach a large audience.
The TRON blockchain does not charge any fees for using the network. Despite the lack of gas fees, the network still supports as many as 2000 transactions per second. The blockchain is maintained through a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. In TRON's case, 27 Super Representatives are nominated to validate transactions and secure the blockchain. To reduce the possibility of such a small number of people conspiring to take down the blockchain, the Super Representatives are changed every six hours.
The TRX token is the native token of the TRON blockchain and is used to reward media and content creators. Although created as an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token, it is now a purely TRON-based token built according to TRON's TRC-20 token standard. Consumers use TRX to reward media and content creators on the TRON blockchain for their work.
Since moving TRX from Ethereum and the ERC-20 token standard to TRON's TRC-20 token standard, new wallets have had to be created for storing TRX tokens and interacting with the broader TRON ecosystem. While the TRON Foundation hasn't released any wallets, several TRX-compatible wallets, such as Tronlink and imToken have been developed by members of the TRON community and third-party organizations.
TRX price and tokenomics
TRX is designed to have a maximum supply of slightly more than 100 billion TRX tokens. Currently, 71.6 billion TRX tokens are in circulation, with a little over 28.4 billion TRX tokens set to be released in the coming years, giving TRX an estimated market capitalization of $5.75 billion.
In its initial coin offering (ICO), 40 billion TRX tokens were allocated to investors, 15.75 billion were channeled to private sale buyers, ten bullion to the TRON Foundation, and the remaining 35 billion were distributed to the Peiwo app.
The TRON network burns coins to deflate the currency and rewards its users. However, the maximum limit TRX is not fixed and could be subject to change in the future. The Super Representatives validate transactions and add blocks of transactions to the TRON blockchain. For each new block added, the validator who added the block is rewarded with 32 TRX tokens.
Ultimately TRX is a deflationary token since its supply is capped. All the remaining TRON tokens are distributed as mining rewards to the representatives securing the blockchain by validating transactions.
About the founders
TRON was founded by Justin Sun, a Chinese entrepreneur in the crypto space with a business executive background. Before founding TRON, Justin Sun had worked in the crypto space as a representative of the crypto payments and remittance infrastructure provider Ripple.
TRON was initially known as Tronix and rebranded to TRON in 2017 when the platform became a blockchain, and the TRON foundation was created to oversee the project. TRON started as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network. However, after alleged spats with Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum's founder, the ERC-20 TRON token migrated to its own blockchain after the mainnet launch in 2018.
The TRON Foundation was dissolved in 2021, and the project is now run and maintained by members of the TRON community. Sun continues as the official ambassador of the project. Before starting with cryptocurrencies, Sun founded Peiwo in 2013, one of the biggest voice apps in China. The app is a mixture of Snapchat and a matchmaking site. It's currently functioning on the TRON network.
TRX developments
Over the years, TRON has been involved in various partnerships. In September 2022, Tron announced a partnership with crypto market maker Wintermute to boost the availability of TRX and other tokens on the TRON blockchain.
The partnership will see Wintermute become a member of TRON's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), contribute to decisions on the platform's future, and acquire TRON's stablecoin USDD directly from the blockchain.
In exchange, Wintermute will provide liquidity for TRX and other TRON tokens on decentralized finance (DeFi) services like Uniswap, making accessing these tokens and the TRON ecosystem easier.
In September 2022, Tron launched the third season of its 2022 Grand Hackathon, with $1.2 million in prizes up for grabs. The contest is open to all developers and features challenges along six tracks, including DeFi, GameFi, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
