Overview

Trident is a lightweight Java SDK for interacting with the TRON blockchain. It provides a simple and efficient way to integrate TRON functionality into your Java applications.

Trident includes three main modules:

Features

• Complete implementation of TRON's gRPC interfaces
• Smart contract deployment and interaction
• Wallet key management and address utilities
• Transaction building and signing
• TRC10/TRC20/TRC721 token support

Installation

Trident is compiled with Java 1.8.

📘

Version Notice

We strongly recommend using version 0.9.2 or later, as newer versions are more stable and feature-rich, with all modules combined into a single package.

Version 0.9.2 and Later

Gradle

implementation("io.github.tronprotocol:trident:0.9.2")  // Check Maven Central for newer versions

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.tronprotocol</groupId>
    <artifactId>trident</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.2</version>  <!-- Check Maven Central for newer versions -->
</dependency>

Previous Versions (< 0.9.2)

For versions before 0.9.2, you'll need to build from source:

1. Clone the repository from GitHub
2. Build the project with required versions:
   • Java: 1.8.0_231
   • Gradle: 5.6.4
3. Configure your project dependencies:

dependencies {
    // protobuf & grpc
    implementation 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.11.0'
  
    implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded:1.31.0'
    implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-netty:1.31.0'
    implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:1.31.0'
    implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-stub:1.31.0'
  
    implementation "org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on:1.68"

    implementation fileTree(dir:'../core')
    implementation fileTree(dir:'../utils')
    implementation fileTree(dir:'../abi')
    //if you are using the *.jar files, ues the following line
    implementation fileTree(dir:'your path', include: '*.jar')

    implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:28.0-jre'
}
