$BTTC
BitTorrent Coin (BTT) is the native cryptocurrency of the BitTorrent network, a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing platform originally created in 2001 by Bram Cohen. BitTorrent revolutionized file sharing by enabling users to share files without relying on a centralized server.
In 2018, the blockchain platform TRON, led by Justin Sun, acquired BitTorrent to integrate blockchain technology with P2P networks. The following year, BitTorrent launched its cryptocurrency, BTT, on the TRON blockchain as a TRC-10 token.
BTT was designed to enhance the BitTorrent ecosystem by incentivizing users to provide bandwidth and storage for faster file sharing. Through the BitTorrent Speed feature, users can pay with BTT to speed up downloads and earn tokens by sharing files and resources. This innovation aimed to increase the efficiency and scalability of the BitTorrent network.
BTT has since been a key player in bridging blockchain technology with decentralized file sharing, contributing to the broader adoption of decentralized internet solutions.
