What is BTT?

BitTorrent (BTT), also famed as the token that will enable blockchain mass adoption, is a TRC-10 token based on the TRON blockchain to foster faster speed on Dapp´s.

The TRON and BitTorrent foundations came together and introduced this cryptographic token in order to build a token-based economy around the usage of networking, bandwidth and storage on hundreds of millions of computers on the internet. As per BitTorrent Foundation’s Whitepaper;

“We will extend the BitTorrent protocol and introduce a new TRON TRC-10 cryptographic token called BitTorrent (BTT) in order to implement a distributed infrastructure services economy. Within this economy, end users may offer infrastructure services in small increments in return for tokens, with a blockchain solution for a store of value and medium of exchange that will scale to meet the expected demand.”

Exchanges and wallets supporting the BTT token include; Binance, OKEX, Huobi, Bithumb, CoinEx, WazirX and several others.
