As reported by CNF, the JST lending platform was launched in April this year. With the first announcement, the platform was tentatively named Djed. However, the platform changed its name after a vote by TRON community. The platform was criticized prior to its launch for being of decentralized finance, but having a name similar to that of TRON’s CEO.
Via Twitter TRON CEO Justin Sun described the platform as “something new”. Despite this, the platform received criticism for allegedly copying the system from the Ethereum-based lending platform, MakerDAO.
