About BitTorrent
BitTorrent Token (BTT) is a cryptocurrency developed for use in the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network. It was introduced in 2019 after the BitTorrent Foundation, originally created by Bram Cohen and David Harrison in 2001, was acquired by the Tron Foundation in 2018. BTT is based on TRON, a decentralized blockchain platform. BTT powers several decentralized applications and has been incorporated into the BitTorrent protocol to establish a token-based economy centered around networking, bandwidth, and storage resources. The BitTorrent Speed feature uses BTT to incentivize users to continue seeding files after they're fully downloaded, improving download speeds or network longevity. Beyond file sharing, BTT also has potential utility in trading computational resources between BitTorrent clients, with its divisibility allowing for precise pricing. The widespread use and integration of BTT wallets also suggest potential for additional use cases beyond the BitTorrent ecosystem.
