Hi everyone,hope we are doing good. After a few hours of going through professor @sapwood lecture post,have been able to learn a lot about the tron system and crypto currency as a whole. indeed it was a well explanatory lecture where prof.@sapwood took time to explain vividly the concept of tron ecosystem and cryptocurrency. I will be expressing my understanding of this task through the task question below.

Homework Task-1

(1) What is TronLink and what is Tronscan? What are its uses? How do you verify a transaction status(including timestamp, resource consumption(bandwidth & energy), nos of confirmations) using Tronscan-- Examples, Screenshot? Make a transaction(a micro-transaction) with Justswap or JustLend using TronLink wallet?Screenshot?

What is TronLink and what is Tronscan? What are it uses?

Tronlink

https://www.tronlink.org/

Tronlink is decentralized system blockchain wallet that makes it easy to access and explore the tron blockchain or tron ecosystem. There are always link to the tron ecosystem.

The tronlink help to connect the content of a tron blockchain to a well secured platform where users can send,received and sign transaction. It does not only support TRX, it also supports all TRC-10 and TRC-20 tokens and enable users to access the dAPPs.

Tronlink ensure data security by locally storing private keys, physical insulation,multi-layer algorithm encryption and also ensure node stability and reliability. It supports asset freezing/unfreezing and voting. by this, users are fully involve in building the tron ecosystem and expanding it.

Tronlink can be use by different device like the Android,ios and huawei harmony os.

Uses of tronlink

• It is use to store and manage tron coin with free, easy and user-friendly app on Android,ios etc.
• It is use to monitor TRX balance and exchange rate.
• It is use to exchange tron to other cryptocurrency.
• It is use to perform transaction in tron within the tron ecosystem.
• It is use to simply access tron ecosystem.

Tronscan

Tronscan is a very important part of a tron project, we can find it on this website 'tronscan.org.'

A tronscan is a search engine of a particular network or we say it a tron-based blockchain explorer that allows users to confirm and validate transaction on tron blockchain.
Tronscan retrieve information of transactions and display them on the platform,through the public ledger tron blockchain.

This tronscan doesnot only have the features of a blockchain explorer but it also support token-creation,voting, tron trading and allows users to issue their own token base on the tron blockchain.

Finally, through tronscan, transparency can be promoted on the blockchain cause it retrieve and search all transactions on the tron blockchain, by this you can easy trace and access any information of transaction on the blockchain.

Uses of tronscan

• It is use for confirmation after making transaction to check if the transaction is fail or successful.
• It is use to check if the wallet address you are about performing transaction to is valid or not.
• It is use to check the date and time when transaction was done.
• It is use in creating new token.
• It is use in accessing lastest and old transaction on the blockchain.
• finally, it is use to check wallet balance and explore genesis block.

How do you verify a transaction status(including timestamp, resource consumption(bandwidth & energy), nos of confirmations) using Tronscan-- Examples, Screenshot?

• After performing transaction on the tronlink, i then copy out my transaction hash then login to the tronscan website through this website address https://tronscan.org/ after login in the page below will open.

• To verify my transaction I will then input the transaction hash I copied on the search column as seen below then proceed by clicking search.

• And finally, after inputing the transaction hash , the necessary transaction details will appear.
  Below is the details of the transaction.

What are the different dApps can you explore using the TronLink wallet?

According to research tron network as created 1400 decentralized application with daily transaction volume of almost $12million..

There are alot of dapp available to explore on tronlink you just need to install tronlink on your browser, create your tron account, then you are free to access and start using the dapps.

You can locate dapps on tronlink by clicking on discover at the bottom of the tronlink home page.

Dapps in the tronlink are sub classified into 3 different section according to their functions. There are games, exchange and others..

Game

You can explore chain area, blocklords and blockchain cuties etc..

Exchange

You can explore justlend, zkwrapper, sunswap etc.

Other

You can explore tronscan,just and sun etc.

Make a transaction(a micro-transaction) with Justswap or JustLend using TronLink wallet?Screenshot?

Step1
First, I log on to tronlink wallet app on my device then click discover column as seen below, since am performing my transaction on justswap project, I then click on justswap as indicated below.

Step2
Immediately I click on the justswap, swap page pop up, then I now set the token am about swapping and then set the amount of token am swapping.

Step3
After inputting the token and the amount, I now click swap column to proceed.

Step4
