Geneva, Switzerland, June 15, 2026 — Tron daoDAO, a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the Internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), participated in ETHConf, held from June 8 to 10 in New York, and organized by ETHGlobal. TRON DAO also expanded its presence throughout the week with a dedicated TRON Academy happy hour alongside the ETHGlobal New York 2026 hackathon, held from June 12-14.

At ETHConf, one of the leading Ethereum ecosystem conferences, the TRON DAO team connected with builders, founders, and technologists to shape the next wave of decentralized applications, policy regulations, and real-world blockchain adoption.
Along with ETHGlobal New York, TRON Academy powered by niTROn co-hosted Happy Hour with the Princeton Blockchain Club at Anytime Billiards NYC, supported by a coalition of leading student blockchain organizations: Blockchain Chicago, Blockchain at Columbia, Blockchain at Emory, Blockchain & Fintech at Fordham, NYU Blockchain Lab, and Penn Blockchain. The session attracted more than 70 participants from the student and developer communities.
The happy hour also included a panel discussion titled “From Campus to Mainnet: How Student Builders Will Shape the Future of Blockchain,” moderated by TRON DAO’s ecosystem development team, with student panelists representing Blockchain Chicago, Blockchain & FinTech in Fordham, Pennsylvania, and NYU’s Blockchain Lab. The discussion explored how stablecoins and the digital dollar are opening up real-world use cases across payments, cross-border settlement, and how campus clubs are moving from learning to launching real projects. Participants also evaluated the skills and career paths shaping the next wave of Web3, including the emerging role of AI agents and onchain payments.
By meeting students and developers where they build, TRON DAO continues to expand access to people, resources, and practical exposure that turns early curiosity into lasting contribution across the decentralized economy.
