Samsung Adds Support for Tron Network to Blockchain Dapp Store

Tron founder Justin Sun will appear on stage at the Samsung Developer Conference on Tuesday to announce a new partnership between his crypto company and the telecom giant.

Tron will be integrated into the software development kit of the Samsung Blockchain Keystore, which helps users manage private keys.

The SDK is meant to help coders build with the Tron network by giving them direct access to the blockchain via their Samsung devices.

It's still unclear how this partnership changes anything for TRX token users, beyond wallet support.

Considering Samsung is among the top hardware sellers alongside Apple and Huawei, which have both captured significant market share, it would be a stretch to imagine even 1 billion users gaining access to the Samsung Blockchain Keystore.

Beyond mobile wallets, which are generally not used for coding or token distribution simply by being made available, Samsung tablets should have the same direct access to tron blockchain data.

This could, in theory, make it easier for app developers to make products for Samsung users that don't rely on third-party wallets.

Sun heralded this new conduit as a "Milestone" for Tron.

According to Tron's latest report, there are roughly 3.9 million tron wallet accounts and 611 Dapps.

In a WhatsApp message, Sun told CoinDesk the partnership would make it easier for "Millions of users of Samsung devices" because developers can build applications using Samsung devices.
