The 29-year-old published the news on his Weibo account. It was also announced by the Tron Foundation.

Sun won the Buffett charity lunch auction with a record bid of more than 4.5 million U.S. dollars last month. The proceeds will be donated to the Glide Foundation. The donation has already been made, said Sun.

Tron was founded in Singapore in 2017. It is the maker of the largest blockchain-based operating system, and is focused on building the infrastructure for a decentralized Internet. Sun is also the founder and CEO of several start-ups. He was listed on the Forbes China's 30 Under 30 in 2015, which lists 30 high-achievers under the age of 30 in fields including entrepreneurship, show business, sports, and technology.
