BitTorrent
BitTorrent (BTT) is the token of the popular file-sharing protocol BitTorrent, which was acquired by the Tron Foundation in 2018. BTT is used to reward users who share files and provide bandwidth. It powers decentralized storage and content delivery, aiming to make file-sharing faster, more reliable, and connected to blockchain incentives.
A Deeper Dive

Technology & Use Case
BitTorrent is one of the oldest peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks, now enhanced with blockchain. The BTT token adds an incentive layer: users who share storage and bandwidth can earn tokens, while downloaders can pay with BTT for faster speeds. BTT also supports decentralized storage solutions like BitTorrent File System (BTFS).
Origins & Team
BitTorrent was originally created in 2001 by Bram Cohen, revolutionizing file-sharing through peer-to-peer technology. In 2018, it was acquired by the Tron Foundation (founded by Justin Sun), which introduced the BTT token in 2019 to integrate blockchain economics into the BitTorrent ecosystem.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
BitTorrent’s ecosystem includes uTorrent and BitTorrent clients, with hundreds of millions of users worldwide. The BTT token supports BTFS (BitTorrent File System), which competes with decentralized storage projects like Filecoin. Through its integration with Tron and partnerships in the Web3 space, BitTorrent aims to modernize file sharing and create a blockchain-powered content delivery network.
