Why did a blockchain entrepreneur team up with Hans Zimmer?

Justin Sun is a Chinese-born Grenadian cryptocurrency executive, best known for launching TRON, a blockchain ecosystem alongside its own cryptocurrency, TRX token, in 2017.

TRON and the TRX token’s success put Sun in a position to both acquire the company BitTorrent (now known as Rainberry) and spend a period as a representative for Grenada at the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

Sun’s latest project sees him return to TRON, this time to launch a theme tune for the blockchain ecosystem. Not willing to put together a half-assed version of the anthem, Sun enlisted the help of German composer Hans Zimmer.

Even if you don’t think you know Hans Zimmer, you know Hans Zimmer. Zimmer has scored music for over 100 films, including Dune, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Gladiator, The Lion King and nearly every Christopher Nolan film. For his work on Dune and The Lion King, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Score, and has also got four Grammys, three Golden Globes and four Classic Brit Awards on his shelf.

Zimmer’s work isn’t just related to film. He and his studio have produced soundtracks for television shows, video games, award shows and even sports. In total, he’s lent his hand to nearly 150 film and TV show soundtracks.

Why did Zimmer, famed for his expansive works for film and television, lend his hand to creating the anthem for a blockchain ecosystem? We spoke to Sun on how the collaboration came about.

Web3 is a catch-all term people in cryptocurrency use to refer to the ways internet technologies such as TRON can be used to decentralise economics through blockchains and token-based monetary systems. Sun believes the anthem is inspired by the Web3 community’s “vision of the future”.
