P2P.org Cracks TRON’s Inner Circle – Institutional Staker Named Super Representative

TRON’s validator club just got a Wall Street-approved member. Institutional staking heavyweight P2P.org secured enough votes to become a Super Representative—proving once again that crypto’s ’decentralized’ networks love a big-money validator.

Why it matters: Super Representatives process transactions and govern TRON’s blockchain. P2P.org’s election means traditional finance now has skin in the game—and a seat at the governance table.

The punchline: Another ’decentralized’ blockchain bends the knee to institutional capital. At least they didn’t charge a 2% management fee this time.

How To Become A TRON SR Validator

TRON Super Representatives, or block producers, have the responsibility of securing the network, validating transactions, making governance decisions, and produce blocks. The Super Representatives are 27 elected validators that form the backbone of the network’s delegated proof of stake (DPoS) consensus. This is done by producing blocks every three seconds, validating transactions, voting on governance decisions, and sharing block rewards with their voters.

The SRs are elected through voting, with any account being eligible to enter the voting period. The candidates can apply to become an SR by paying 9,999 TRX (~$2455) and then participating in the election. 

Once the DAO votes you in among the top 27 candidates, you become an SR. Only a Super Representative (SR) or a Super Partner (backup SR) can act as a validator on the Tron network, helping validate transactions, produce blocks, and maintain the security of the network.

Speaking on the growing TRON ecosystem and why more institutions are looking towards the blockchain over its competitors, Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson for the TRON DAO stated: 

"With its scalability and minimal transaction costs, TRON has become the blockchain of choice for an increasing number of DeFi platforms focused on institutional adoption. As the builders of a thriving ecosystem with hundreds of institutional clients, we are thrilled to welcome P2P.org as a Super Representative."

As stated above, P2P.org aims to continue its quest to grow institutional staking, and the latest move is a testament to its goal. So far, the company boasts $4.7 billion in total value locked, spread across more than 40 blockchains. P2P.org has also built a thriving ecosystem that serves over 90,000 delegators and hundreds of institutional clients.
