BitTorrent (BTT) is a digital currency that has rapidly gained popularity in the crypto market. It originated from the widely used BitTorrent network, which is known for peer-to-peer file sharing.
What is BTT?
BTT is a cryptocurrency introduced by BitTorrent in 2019. It functions as a payment method within the BitTorrent network, allowing users to purchase faster download speeds with BTT. It also serves as a means to reward individuals who contribute their storage capacity to the BitTorrent network.
As a TRC-10 token, BTT operates on the Tron blockchain. Tron is a blockchain platform engineered to provide scalability, decentralization, and high-performance capabilities.
The BitTorrent team
Bram Cohen and Ashwin Navin founded BitTorrent protocol and established BitTorrent, Inc in 2004. Following BitTorent’s acquisition by Tron, Justin Sun, founder of Tron, has since served as BitTorrent's CEO. As a young entrepreneur, Sun quickly rose to the limelight as one of the most accomplished personalities in the blockchain industry. The 53-man team currently involved in the technical aspects of the project, operations, and upgrades consists of engineers, and scientists mostly working out of the United States.
How does BitTorrent work?
BitTorrent operates by utilizing a decentralized network of nodes to store and index data. The data may include a wide range of information, including blog posts, social media updates, and financial transactions. The BitTorrent network utilizes a Proof of Stake (PoW) consensus mechanism to ensure security. This means nodes receive rewards for securing the network by staking BTT tokens.
Users can use BTT tokens to expedite their downloads when downloading files from the BitTorrent network. The speed of the downloads is directly proportional to the number of BTT tokens a user stakes.
