Justin Sun took something unusual at TOKEN2049 Singapore a playful “crypto roast” with comedian T.J. Miller and turned it into a stage-setter for TRON’s broader showcase as TRON DAO served as the event’s Title Sponsor. According to the event recap, Sun opened day two by leaning into the roast format before shifting to the OKX Main Stage for a keynote that highlighted TRON’s recent milestones and the debut of SunPerp, a decentralized perpetuals trading platform. Around him, TRON DAO ran a full court press: a networking lounge that doubled as a brand hub, side events including “Web3 Cyber Night,” and a closing afterparty co-hosted with HTX DAO that drew thousands, with MetaMask listed as a diamond level sponsor. TRON’s spokespersons fanned out across stages Sam Elfarra delivered a separate keynote focused on recent integrations and community initiatives while the company narrative emphasized payments traction, ecosystem expansion, and its ambition to be a settlement layer for stablecoins at internet scale. The takeaway wasn’t just the spectacle of a roast; it was the orchestration of a conference long presence aimed at reinforcing TRON’s influence in Asia’s Web3 scene and signaling a push into derivatives with SunPerp as a fresh product pillar
