Justin Sun, the founder of blockchain startup TRON, also teased his Twitter followers with a new partnership with “tens of billions USD valuation industry giant” without revealing further details.

Earlier in July, Sun confirmed the [acquisition](<https://www.econotimes.com/TRON-founder-Justin-Sun-confirms-BitTorrent-acquisition-1407694>) of peer-to-peer file sharing platform BitTorrent. More recently, TRON has [unveiled a new project](<https://tokenpost.com/TRON-unveils-Project-Atlas-aims-to-bring-blockchain-and-crypto-benefits-to-BitTorrent-487>) – ‘Project Atlas’ – that will connect BitTorrent’s users to the TRON blockchain and incentivize them with crypto tokens.

Baidu, on the other hand, released its Baidu Blockchain White Paper V1.0 late last month, which details a “Super Chain” network system, CoinTelegraph reported.
