Justin Sun of Tron dropped a hype bomb on Twitter driving all Tron community crazy. Sun announced a partnership with a major industry giant, and according to coinness, the secret partner is Baidu.
Unlucky for us, Tron’s CEO since his last teaser has not revealed any more information nor named the partner company preferring to keep it a secret longer.
Finally, First time to partner with tens of billions USD valuation industry giant. Guess the name 😊#TRON #TRX $TRX

Since Wednesday most of the coins have been suffering the bearish trend as prices fell. TRX, on the other hand, is already on the way for recovery. In the last 24-hours, the altcoin gained 4.55% of value.
Now, Baidu is the Google of China and the majority of searches from China are hosted here. It is a leading technology giant with its valuation worth billions of USD.
The crypto community is buzzing at the moment with different opinions; it’s a large-scale guessing game.
One of the Twitter users in reply to the Sun’s tweet says that the community somehow went in a wrong direction citing the English raw translation of the publication that says that Baidu denied the possibility of such a partnership.

Suggesting that the secret partner is not Baidu, others started to name companies like Pornhub, Alibaba, Sony Entertainment, etc.
The clue to the secret partner might be hidden in the Sun’s second to the last tweet. Before the frenzy went on, Tron’s CEO mentioned game developer companies.

Justin Sun tweeted that Tron-based Smart Contract platform TVM has finally been launched.
TVM is important because it’s super compatible with other systems and expected to solve issues of other Virtual Machines attracting a large number of developers to TRON. The announcement is likely to be followed with new applications to the Tron network appearing in the future.
Could it be Chinese Tencent Games, the father of League of Legends, Arena of Valor, CrossFire, Clash of Clans, and Clash Royale, one of the most popular worldwide games?
One thing is for sure, Sun put the media spotlight on TRON without actually giving any tangible information. That, if nothing else, is a marketing success.
