Maro is a blockchain ecosystem built for scalable applications using a multi-tier BFT-DPoS consensus. Its native token MARO was originally issued on the Maro mainnet but is migrating in 2025 to Binance Smart Chain as a BEP-20 token with one-to-one conversion from MARO-Classic. The migration runs from March to May 2025. Maro was founded by Brian Cheong in Singapore in 2018.

Maro is a blockchain ecosystem launched in Singapore in 2018, initially under the name TTC Protocol before rebranding to Maro. The platform was built with a multi-tier Byzantine Fault Tolerant Delegated Proof of Stake consensus mechanism and a multi-network structure to support high-throughput decentralised applications. Its ecosystem integrates modules for decentralised finance, social and AI-driven collaboration, along with developer tools and user platforms such as Maro Connect, AcornBox and Maro Scan.

MARO is the native utility token of the Maro ecosystem. It is used for transaction fees, staking, governance and providing incentives for validator nodes.

In 2025, MARO completed a migration from its original mainnet to Binance Smart Chain. The process converted MARO-Classic tokens one-to-one into MARO as a BEP-20 asset, with the swap window running from 3 March 2025 to 1 May 2025. Following this period, MARO-Classic is no longer supported, and all active MARO tokens now exist on BSC. The BEP-20 contract address for MARO is 0xd9a73Cd62E0D6414Db1609cCDa04ACAB7BC03b85.

The move to BSC integrates MARO into a wider ecosystem of decentralised applications, liquidity pools and trading venues, expanding its usability beyond the legacy chain.

Maro was founded by Brian Cheong in 2018. He continues to lead the project’s development and ecosystem expansion. The project initially launched as TTC Protocol before shifting to the Maro identity to better reflect its multi-layered scope.
