Fig. 2 TRON TRON

Roteiro TRON Fase 1

Development timeline from July 2017 to June 2018
Development timeline from July 2017 to June 2018

Context

This figure appears in the Introduction section of the TRON whitepaper, outlining the staged development plan. It covers the first two phases from July 2017 through June 2018, establishing the foundational infrastructure for TRON's decentralized content platform.

What This Figure Shows

The figure presents the first two of six development phases. Exodus (July 2017 to January 2018) focuses on peer-to-peer file sharing and data storage, establishing basic infrastructure for content creators to distribute media without intermediaries — conceptually similar to a blockchain-native BitTorrent. Odyssey (January 2018 to June 2018) introduces economic incentives: a token-based reward system where users earn TRX by producing and sharing content, creating a monetization layer on top of the storage infrastructure.

Significance

The Exodus and Odyssey phases establish TRON's core value proposition: a censorship-resistant, creator-owned content economy. This roadmap reveals that TRON was designed from the outset as a content platform rather than a general-purpose smart contract chain — a distinction that shapes its architecture and tokenomics throughout the whitepaper.
