Rumble (RUM), a video sharing company, announced a partnership with TRON DAO to promote a decentralized internet, enabled through blockchain technology. The first phase of this collaboration will be to provide TRON with access to Rumble Cloud storage facilities so that the blockchain ecosystem can access storage services without the overhanging threat of censorship or price gouging. The partnership will allow Rumble to showcase their freedom of speech model of computing and attract more investors to their publicly listed company.
Chris Pavlovski, Rumble CEO, believes there exists synergy between blockchain technology and cloud storage. Justin Sun, co-founder of TRON, pointed out that both parties agree on the fundamentals of censorship resistant technology and user centric custody. The partnership will bolster Rumble’s infrastructure developments, and strengthen TRON’s decentralization capabilities.
Rumble, a publicly listed company, recorded a 3.7% hike in their stock price this week, most likely reacting to the positive news of a Rumble-TRON partnership. The stock price of RUM has seen significant gains ever since Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States. Rumble is a well known platform that promotes conservative commentators, but also aims to be fair with its treatment of all creators wishing to escape online censorship. RT, a Russian backed news channel, uses the platform to escape online sanctions.
TRON DAO is a community driven autonomous organisation which aims to decentralise the web. Originally inspired by the Ethereum project, TRON offers a very fast network for creating web3 applications. TRON, in a similar vein to Ethereum, allows developers to create decentralized applications, or dApps for short. The partnership aims to combine the benefits of Rumble’s cloud services with TRON’s blockchain technology. Rumble Cloud offers a range of features such as Kubernetes setup, virtual private cloud options, and load balances. Rumble offers these services to provide developers with an option to protect their business from companies that hyperscale, which is to dominate the market and demand unfair pricing contracts coupled with censorship regimes.
Chris Pavlovski, Rumble founder and CEO, said that blockchain technology enables freedom of speech and innovation, things that are compatible with Rumble’s goals. He further said that it was an honour to be trusted by TRON to maintain their data storage needs. Pavlovski hopes that Rumble and TRON will enjoy a long relationship together. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, said that TRON was created to promote a decentralized internet that was censorship resistant and owned by the community.
Sun said that Rumble Cloud will allow TRON to embrace censorship resistant servers which will serve the purpose of building the blockchain infrastructure for a robust service. Sun said that the Rumble servers will give TRON a new platform to build more features for the blockchain community. TRON recently reached the top spot for utilising the stablecoin Tether (USDT). A successful blockchain needs adequate partnerships to provide a platform for developers to build projects with minimal interference. Sun has taken an interest in Rumble Cloud, due to its performance record and also its leader’s commitment to a hands-off approach to management.
Sun’s blockchain, in fact, is one of the most active ecosystems on the market, with ease of access attracting many developers and users to the relatively new cryptocurrency. Sun has prioritised decentralised protocols, which is in vogue right now, with Ethereum leading the way with new innovations to further decentralise web3 applications and future proof blockchain for many generations to come. TRON currently hosts over 63% of USDT Tether in circulation, providing one metric amongst many more that the TRON blockchain is gaining traction within new market conditions.
TRON’s partnership with Rumble is a sign that the blockchain wishes to be fast and scalable, due to the fact the upcoming social media provider Rumble has a very smooth streaming service. The fact that Sun is able to make a business deal with a service that is supportive of President Trump, shows that TRON is ready to transcend borders and work with a diverse range of businesses and developers, something that is needed for a cross-border blockchain to succeed in an extremely volatile market environment.
TRON has consistently outperformed Ethereum since 2022, due to the ongoing problems that ETH has faced regarding transaction speeds and gas fees. TRON allows for gas free transactions when using the gass-free wallet option, which only allows USDT transfers. TRON may take a bit to get used to for new users, but may be worth understanding in case the blockchain continues to perform well. The statistics speak for themselves, with Ethereum processing a block every 12 seconds, while TRON only takes 3 seconds to process a block. Ethereum, moreover, handles 27 transactions per second (TPS), while TRON handles an impressive 2,000 TPS for customers.
Rumble benefits from a partnership with TRON because it positions itself with a highly specific blockchain that shows promising gains in the market. Rumble, by way of associating itself with blockchains, establishes its business as consistent with recent market trends in blockchain and AI innovation. TRON could likewise benefit from a new player in the Cloud Services industry which holds the potential to make a profit and even compete with larger players such as Amazon and Alibaba. Rumble is an American platform and is associated with the Trump campaign, suggesting that the developers may be interested in a blockchain that dominates the use of US stablecoins issued by Tether.
Rumble could be a cost effective strategy for TRON while providing cutting edge Cloud Infrastructure. TRON has an opportunity to develop new business connections while competing with other blockchains like Ethereum, Stellar, and Ripple. However, the press release, published on Rumble’s corporate blog, did not mention enough details about the Rumble Cloud specifications that make the partnership valuable for TRON investors. Further, the American market is showing serious flaws which, if left untreated, may negatively affect the security of the TRON network.
