The blockchain needed four years to reach its first 100 million accounts. From there, growth sped up considerably. <a href="https://blockonomi.com/tron-post-quantum-signatures-launch-on-nile-testnet-after-vote/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TRON</a> crossed 200 million accounts on December 7, 2023, roughly 17 months after the first milestone, and then doubled that figure in under three years.The network surpassed 300 million accounts on April 12, 2025, before crossing 400 million on August 23, 2026. Analytics platform Lookonchain compared this pace to older networks in a recent post, writing that TRON reached the mark “much faster than Bitcoin and Ethereum,” noting Bitcoin needed 9.4 years and Ethereum took over 10 years to reach the same figure.<div class="embed-x"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">From zero to 400M users in just over 8 years.
