Blockchain platform TRON DAO has boosted its ecosystem integrity following a comprehensive security evaluation by security firm ChainSecurity.
The details assessment aimed to identify and solve any issues that could impact TRON network performance, including block generation, consensus operations, and transaction execution.

TRON DAO community spokesperson Dave Uhryniak commented on the developments, stating,
Security is paramount to the growth and trust within any blockchain ecosystem. ChainSecurity’s security assessment of TRON has further strengthened our network resilience, ensuring that we continue to provide a secure and efficient platform for our global user base.
According to a press release, the security audit focuses on components like P2P interactions, TRON Virtual Machine, and consensus mechanisms.
ChainSecurity discovered various weaknesses that could have caused blockchain disruptions “if exploited.” However, the TRON DAO team addressed the problems quickly to the potential dangers.
Key vulnerabilities and resolutions
- A potential DoS attack
The security company uncovered an issue with Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) messages. The vulnerability could have led to boundless memory expansion, opening the path for a Denial-of-Service attack.
Meanwhile, the team updated the system, processing PBFT messages after PBFT is activated, avoiding extreme memory usage.
- Uncontrolled censoring of fork blocks
The weakness could censor legit forked blocks through fork chains with illegitimate blocks. In such cases, the whole fork, including effective blocks, would be discarded upon weakness detection. Meanwhile, the updated code will filter blocks from illicit producers before processing to ensure blockchain consistency.
- Unplanned resource consumption
The security evaluation uncovered unnecessary usage of CPU, memory, and storage through blocks without witness signatures. Meanwhile, the team has confirmed plans to (immediately) discard blocks lacking signature checks. That will reduce needless resource consumption, boosting network performance.
Meanwhile, the comprehensive security audit underscores TRON DAO’s commitment to user safety and integrity. ChainSecurity’s founding partner Emilie Raffo commented on their alliance with Tron,
We worked closely with the TRON team to identify and resolve vulnerabilities, strengthening the network’s security and performance. We look forward to many more years of fruitful collaboration to secure the TRON ecosystem.
TRON DAO team acted proactively to resolve the identified issues. That has significantly strengthened the blockchain’s security infrastructure, ensuring optimal network operations.
ChainSecurity’s evaluation reflects TRON’s commitment to integrity by safeguarding user data and funds.
TRX’s current price outlook
TRON DAO’s native token trades at $0.1559, following a 0.30% decline on its 24-hour chart. TRX gained 2.15% the previous week, and its prevailing performance mirrors broad market movements.

Analysts believe the ongoing dips are momentarily before a full-swing October rally. Broad market surges will propel TRX to new heights, with enhanced ecosystem security ensuring long-term stability.
