While giving an interview on The Crypto Chick podcast, Justin Sun, CEO of Tron (TRX) stated that he believes Tron ecosystem will have an official partnership with Ethereum (ETH) in 2019. Specifically, Sun said he believes “even within this year we will see Tron even collaborate, officially collaborate, with Ethereum.”

He further said

“I think in the future we will even collaborate with lots of Ethereum developers and also the enterprises built on Ethereum before to make the industry better.”

Sun also revealed that a scalability solution in the form of additional (second) layer on Tron blockchain is planned to be deployed in the second-quarter of 2019.

According to Sun, the second layer will boost transaction speed by over 100 times and dramatically bring down fees. Justin Sun has not provided additional details, including the launch date, about the scalability solution, named dubbed Sun Network, so far.

Sun also stated that in Q2 2019, Tron will launch a “new network with a privacy option,” based on altcoin Zcash (ZEC) technology.

Notably, last month, Singapore-headquartered Huobi Global and Malta-based OKEx have offered their support for the Tron-based version of USDT.
