Overview
BTTC is the native token of BitTorrent Chain, a decentralized cross-chain interoperability protocol. It enables seamless asset and data transfers between different blockchains such as Ethereum, Tron, and BNB Chain.
Full Name: BitTorrent Chain
Token: BTTC (previously BTT, rebranded after token redenomination in 2022)
Parent Project: BitTorrent (acquired by TRON Foundation in 2018)
Founder: Justin Sun
Consensus Mechanism: Proof-of-Stake (PoS) using validators
Key Features
1. Cross-Chain Interoperability:
BTTC bridges major blockchains, allowing users to transfer assets and data across them almost instantly and at low cost.
2. High Throughput & Scalability:
BTTC can process thousands of transactions per second with minimal latency, making it suitable for dApps and DeFi.
3. Decentralized Validators:
Validators stake BTTC and help maintain network security and consensus. They earn rewards in BTTC.
4. Low Fees:
BTTC offers much lower transaction fees compared to Ethereum.
5. Supports Smart Contracts:
Developers can deploy dApps using Solidity, the same language used on Ethereum.
Tokenomics
Total Supply (after redenomination): 990 Trillion BTTC
Use Cases:
Staking by validators and delegators
Transaction fees on BitTorrent Chain
Governance (future plans)
Incentives for cross-chain activity
Ecosystem & Use Cases
BitTorrent Speed – Rewards users with BTTC for seeding files faster on BitTorrent clients.
BTFS (BitTorrent File System) – A decentralized storage system using BTTC as a utility token.
DeFi and NFT Projects – Can be built on BTTC with low fees and fast confirmations.
Recent Developments (as of 2025)
Expansion to more chains: BTTC is planning to support more blockchain networks to increase its utility.
Integration with TRON ecosystem: BTTC is a key piece in TRON’s ambition to create a super-powered decentralized internet.
Validator ecosystem growth: More projects and users are participating in staking and governance.
Why People Invest in BTTC
Backing by TRON & Justin Sun: Strong ecosystem and leadership.
Utility in cross-chain DeFi and Web3 apps
Potential for growth as blockchain interoperability becomes a necessity.
