Project Overview

Project Goal: With IdleTron, we aim to turn first‑time TRON users into active on‑chain traders.
We do this with two integrated modes:
• Backtest 2024 (Testnet) – a full‑year historical simulator for risk‑free practice.
• TradeDesk Live (Mainnet) – a non‑custodial panel (launching July/Aug 2025) that lets users swap assets on TRON in one click while we take a 0.05% router fee.

Unique Value Proposition:

  1. Frictionless learning path – users graduate from simulation to real money.
  2. Open‑source & non‑custodial – no keys or funds ever held by us; fosters community trust and contributions.
  3. Direct ecosystem upside – every TradeDesk swap is an on‑chain TX, boosting TRON volume, fees, and TVL with zero subsidies.

Project Test Instructions:

  1. Open the public demo: https://idletron.com
  2. On the landing page click “Try the Simulator”.
  3. The Backtest 2024 window loads.
    • Next Week → advances the timeline one week (52‑week cycle).
    • Use the Trade panel to Buy/Sell TRX, USDD or JST; preview shows price & cost.
    • Holdings, P/L and Mood update in real time.
  4. Optional: click Reset Game (header) to wipe your progress; state is saved in our server keyed by wallet when a wallet address is provided.

Technical Details:
• Front‑end: HTML/CSS, Chart.js for price charts, and a small wallet.js controller (≈450 LOC) for UI logic and state‑file I/O.
• Data layer: static prices.json (weekly OHLC/vol), news.json, and dapps.json are fetched client‑side.
• Persistence: lightweight PHP endpoints & write/read on the server.
• Planned router: a Solidity‑for‑TVM fee‑router (Router.sol) that calls existing TRON DEX liquidity pools, and emits SwapExecuted / FeeTaken events for analytics.
• APIs: CryptoCompare + TronGrid WebSocket (live panel) for price/news; Supabase cache.
• Security roadmap: external audit booked for July 2025 (Hacken Lite, two iterations).

Smart Contract Links:
(No contract is live yet.)
• Current state: the simulator simply asks users to switch TronLink to Shasta testnet for identity purposes; no on‑chain calls are executed today
• Early July 2025: we will deploy the first fee‑router contract on Shasta for end‑to‑end testing (buy/sell logic + 0.05% service‑fee skim)
• Late July/August 2025: after audit sign‑off, the same router will be migrated to TRON main‑net and its address + audit hash will be added here
(This section will be updated with the exact Shasta and main‑net addresses, plus the audited commit hash, once the contracts are live)

How is the Project Governed?:

  • Centralized → Hybrid.
  • Launch phase: IdleTron Labs (2‑of‑3 multisig) controls router upgrade keys and fee parameters.
  • All code is MIT‑licensed on GitHub; on‑chain parameters (fee %, treasury address) will be changeable only via multisig/DAO vote and visible in the contract events.

Funding & Business Model

Funding Request: total US $80,000

Revenue Model:

  • 0.05% router fee on every live swap (waived on trades < $5).
  • Seasonal trading‑league entry fees and referral rebates (post‑launch).
  • All revenue is on‑chain and scales directly with transaction volume—no tokens or subscriptions required.

Interested in TRON Having a Stake?: Yes.
IdleTron Labs will allocate 5 % of router fees to a TRON DAO‑controlled address and, once the DAO transition occurs, reserve a governance‑token tranche for TRON DAO. This aligns incentives and rewards TRON for ecosystem support.

Preferred Collaboration Method:
• Signal‑boost: TRON DAO social channels and AMAs during July/August 2025 launch.
• DevRel: review our router before main‑net deployment and advise on node/RPC best practices.
• Community: co‑host trading‑league events; we’ll feature TRON ecosystem dApps inside simulator challenges.
• Governance: when we form the DAO, reserve a governance‑token tranche for TRON DAO (5 % of supply).

Ecosystem Impact

Partnerships: None formal yet. All infrastructure is built in‑house. We will announce audit and liquidity partners publicly once agreements are made.

Time on TRON: IdleTron has been TRON‑native since July 2024, when it launched as a simple idle‑coin game on BTTC Mainnet. That prototype earned 5th place in the Artistry community vote of HackaTRON Season 7. In February 2025 we decided to pivot from pure gameplay to a trading‑focused platform that adds real on‑chain value. The first result of that pivot, the TRON 2024 “Backtest” simulator, went live on 5 May 2025. The next milestone is the audited TradeDesk Live router launch targeted for July/August 2025, which will convert learner activity into real TRON transactions.

Milestone 1 – $50 000 (May–Jul 2025) :building_construction:
• Dev stipends $6 k (2 founders at $1 k / mo × 3 mo; we’re self‑funding the balance)
• External audit $10 k • APIs + infra $8 k • UI/QA $4 k
• Launch marketing & trading contest $12 k
• Initial DEX liquidity buffer $10 k (seed TRX/USDD pools to cut slippage)

Milestone 2 – $10 000 (Aug–Oct 2025) :building_construction:
Ongoing infra, community mod, bug‑bounty rewards.

Milestone 3 – $20 000 (Nov 2025–Feb 2026) :building_construction:
Mobile companion dev, Polygon/BSC adaptor audits, referral‑system incentives.

  • Audit and deploy Polygon + BSC adaptor contracts so the router works cross‑chain.
  • Release IdleTron Mobile (React‑Native beta) with push‑price alerts and swap flow.
  • Add referral‑link tracking and seasonal leaderboard API.
  • Success KPIs: cross‑chain swap volume ≥ $10 million & mobile DAU ≥ 500.

Project in 5 Years:
By 2030 IdleTron aims to be the default “practice‑then‑trade” layer for EVM chains:

  • 1 million+ users have learned markets via the simulator, then graduated to real trading.
  • The fee‑router supports 10+ chains (TRON, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, etc.) through modular adaptors.
  • DAO‑governed fee parameters—router fees accrue to a community treasury that funds audits, liquidity incentives, and developer grants.
  • IdleTron’s sandbox toolkit (fork‑mode back‑testing, unit‑test harness, API hooks) is used in hackathons and university courses, becoming an on‑ramp for new Web3 builders.
  • Sustainable on‑chain revenue finances perpetual platform development, creating a self‑reinforcing loop of education, transaction growth, and liquidity across TRON and beyond.

Our Journey
IdleTron started life on BTTC main‑net in July 2024 as a lightweight “idle‑coin” clicker. It was a side‑project built for fun, yet the community response during HackaTRON Season 7 surprised us: we took 5th place in the Artistry track and, more importantly, dozens of players told us they wanted real market context, not just pixels and timers.

That feedback flipped our roadmap:

  1. Observe the network. We analysed new‑wallet flows on TRON, forum questions, and Telegram chats. Pattern: users loved low fees but lacked a safe place to practise trading before going on‑chain.
  2. February 2025 pivot. We sunset the idle mechanics and began crafting a historical simulator, something that could teach, not just entertain.
  3. 5 May 2025 release. The Backtest 2024(Testnet) sandbox went live, replaying every TRON price swing and dApp launch from last year. Within days we saw users sharing strategies instead of high‑score screenshots, exactly the behaviour shift we hoped for.
  4. Next step: TradeDesk Live (July/August 2025). The upcoming audited router will let those same learners push a real swap button, still inside the interface they trust, turning education into measurable on‑chain volume for TRON.

What this journey shows

  • We listen: each step (idle → simulator → live router) was triggered by community signal, not vanity features.
  • We iterate fast: Season 7 prototype → full pivot in six months → audited main‑net launch in under a year.
  • We align with TRON’s core metric, transactions. IdleTron graduates players into traders, feeding sustained activity back into the network.

Season 7 taught us that fun is good, but utility keeps users. IdleTron now stands on that lesson: an open, evolving bridge from “curious newcomer” to “on‑chain trader,” purpose‑built for the TRON ecosystem.

Hi @Gordian, thanks for the compliment.

We were here in s7 too. Now we changed our whole concept and made it useful for TRON Blockchain and its users. Whenever u check, we will be waiting your feedback.

Hi @Andreaxino, thanks for the comment, yes whenever u r free, plz test it and share ur thoughts with us.

Hi @manfred_jr, thanks a lot. Yes let us explain quickly.

Adapter = Connector: Think of it like a plugin. Our main router lives on TRON, but by deploying an “adaptor” on Polygon or BSC, we give the router a way to talk to those networks’ DEXes.

What it does:

  1. You tell IdleTron “I want to swap on Polygon.”
  2. The Polygon adaptor contract receives your request, forwards it to a Polygon DEX (e.g. QuickSwap), takes the tiny fee, and sends the result back.
  3. All of that still happens through our unified interface.

More chains → more users → more on-chain volume (and fees) for TRON when tokens move back. We’ll still be evaluating bridging/messaging layers, fee structures, liquidity & slippage and may reshape the architecture for true multichain support.

We plan to share a detailed update on these points.

Ok, I’m gradually grasping it now.
Gas free transactions has been talked about alot lately. So in this case, will users need to hold gas tokens like MATIC or BNB to use adaptors on other chains?

At launch users will need a small balance of each chain’s native gas token to cover fees on that network, e.g. MATIC for Polygon swaps or BNB for BSC swaps. On TRON itself a user only ever needs TRX (for bandwidth/energy) and never ETH‐style gas.

We’re actively evaluating meta-tx and relayer patterns for a smoother, “gas-less” UX down the road, but for our initial multi-chain adaptor rollout users should simply hold a little of each chain’s token to sign transactions.

Thank you for your reply to me, please I want to know are you going to be doing rewards for you’re users that try out new chains using idletron, thank you

Ok, I clearly get that.

My understanding of this part of your reply is; gasless UX is a possibility and a future goal, down the road.
Correct me if I’m wrong.

And if I’m right, what needs to happen before you can make swaps fully gas-free?

Hi @ines_valerie, thanks for asking.

In the “Launch marketing & trading contest $12k” area that we specified in Milestone 1, we are thinking of transferring TRXs that our users can use in the mainnet as a result of various activities and the interaction they show. In this way, after practicing in the test section, they will be able to try with real money in the main area.

Apart from that, we have a few more activity ideas in mind too to reward our users.

17

You’re exactly right, “gas-less” UX is on our roadmap, not day-one. To get there, we need to:

  • Deploy a relayer/meta-tx service (e.g. ERC-2771-style forwarder) on each target chain.

  • Secure a small on-chain fee pool or sponsorship mechanism so the relayer can pay gas on users’ behalf.

  • Audit and harden the relayer contracts alongside our router.

Once those pieces are live (targeting Q4 2025 for Polygon/BSC), users will be able to swap without holding native gas tokens, we will try to handle it under the hood. But as we mentioned before, if we find a more logical way to proceed, we can turn our direction in that direction for the Q3 section.
