TRON DeFi Summer S3 Launches Oct 4 With $2M Prize Pool

The prize-pool split is the tell: TRX takes the largest share, but USDD, JST and SUN together account for nearly half, so this is as much a liquidity push for TRON's stablecoin and DEX tokens as for its native asset. Routing through Binance Wallet into JustLend DAO keeps distribution tied to a major exchange's user base rather than purely on-chain discovery. The automatic carryover of S2 eligibility lowers friction for existing depositors, which may matter more for retention than for new inflows. Whether the incentives pull fresh capital or mainly reshuffle existing TVL is the open question.
