The Monero blockchain is a distributed ledger that records all transactions in a permanent way. It's built on top of the Cryptonote protocol, which is a cryptocurrency protocol that isn't immutable. The Monero blockchain can be accessed with the command line tool monero-wallet-cli. Monero uses the proof-of-work (PoW) mining algorithm to hash transactions into blocks, which are then added to the Monero blockchain. PoW uses computer resources (also known as hashrate) to solve mathematical problems, which makes it costly to attack a network.

Tron is a blockchain-based protocol, which allows developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) using smart contracts. Tron Protocol is a distributed, open-source and blockchain project. The project's aim is to build the infrastructure for a truly decentralized Internet.
