Popular P2P file sharing protocol

News Heat Trend

Project Overview

BitTorrent is a popular peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol that enables users to freely share data and large files, such as movies, programs, and audio files, over the internet. BitTorrent was launched in 2001 and, despite not being blockchain-based, has long been a pioneer in decentralized technology due to its peer-to-peer architecture. BitTorrent Inc. was formed in 2004 to manage the ongoing development of the protocol, and in 2018, it was acquired by Justin Sun, the founder of Tron.In February 2019, BitTorrent released a dedicated native token, BTT, to help expand its protocol and incentivize the network's participants. In December 2021, BitTorrent announced the launch of BitTorrent Chain, which is a heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol. It adopts PoS and leverages sidechains for the scaling of smart contracts.

MetaMask Now Supports Connecting to TRON dApps, Multiple Ecosystem Projects Among First to Be Featured

Odaily News: On September 11, MetaMask officially announced support for connecting to TRON decentralized applications, further expanding its multi-chain ecosystem gateway. In the newly released DApp Spotlight, several representative TRON ecosystem projects were among the first to be featured, covering three core sectors — artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, and file storage — including AI Agent infrastructure B.AI, liquidity infrastructure platform SUN.io, DeFi lending platform JustLend DAO, and the world's leading peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol BitTorrent. Users can now conveniently access these dApps through MetaMask and experience a one-stop suite of on-chain services spanning AI, DeFi, and decentralized storage. This integration not only further enhances the openness and usability of the TRON ecosystem, but also provides global users with a smoother multi-chain interaction experience, further improving the openness and usability of the TRON ecosystem.

BTT Officially Listed on Binance US, Deposits Now Open

BitTorrent's native token BTT is now officially listed on Binance US, with deposits now open. The BTTC/USDT trading pair will officially commence trading at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on September 10. BTT is the native cryptocurrency of the BitTorrent protocol built on the TRON blockchain, primarily designed to incentivize the decentralized file-sharing ecosystem. Users can earn BTT by seeding, and can also utilize BTT to accelerate downloads, pay for decentralized AI compute and storage space, and across multiple other scenarios, creating a closed-loop value system. This listing on Binance US marks a further expansion of BTT's reach in the North American market and delivers a more convenient circulation and usage experience for global users.

TRON Eco Releases 2026 Q2 Value Deflation Ecosystem Report, Quarterly Buyback and Burn Exceeds $34.75 Million

Odaily News: TRON Eco has released its 2026 Q2 value deflation ecosystem report, with the quarterly cumulative buyback and burn amount surpassing $34.75 million, driven by the coordinated efforts of four core projects.JST completed its largest buyback and burn to date, destroying over 355 million tokens (worth $34.59 million) in a single event, setting a new historical high. The cumulative burned amount has now reached 17.29% of the initial maximum supply, with a cumulative value exceeding $94.62 million. SUN completed its 51st round of buyback and burn, destroying over 9.02 million SUN tokens in the quarter, bringing the cumulative burned total to over 678 million tokens. BTT and WIN announced mechanism upgrades, committing all revenue from their decentralized businesses and all oracle service revenue, respectively, to buybacks. The new mechanisms will be implemented on a regular basis starting in Q3. With the launch of the new mechanisms in Q3, all four projects have now been incorporated into a sustainable deflationary framework, marking an upgrade from "phased incentives" to "institutionalized deflation." TRON Eco will continue to drive buybacks and burns with real revenue to reward the community.

BitTorrent Officially Launches Long-Term BTT Buyback Program, 100% of Decentralized Business Revenue to Be Used for Quarterly Repurchases

BitTorrent has officially announced the full launch of its long-term BTT token buyback program starting in the third quarter of 2026. According to the plan, 100% of the revenue generated from BitTorrent's decentralized services will be used for quarterly BTT token buybacks, aiming to inject sustained and stable liquidity support into the token ecosystem. Additionally, after each buyback cycle, the official team will publish a detailed on-chain audit report to ensure full transparency throughout the capital flow and execution process. This milestone initiative not only strengthens BTT's value anchoring as the core asset of the ecosystem but also marks BitTorrent's official entry into a new stage of sustainable development driven by revenue and value feedback.

BTTInferGrid Officially Released, Ushering in a New Era of Decentralized AI

BTTInferGrid has officially launched, ushering in a new era for the decentralized AI (DeAI) sector within the ecosystem. As a major ecosystem upgrade to the existing BTFS service, this platform aims to break down traditional computational barriers by implementing a trustless multi-validator consensus mechanism to ensure robust computational integrity. It uses the $BTT token as the ecosystem’s unified incentive and settlement base, seamlessly and efficiently connecting idle GPU resources with AI developers worldwide. Within this network architecture, BTTInferGrid delivers highly cost-effective, elastic, on-demand computing services for AI inference—lowering the barriers to large-model inference and deployment—while simultaneously empowering global hardware nodes. On the supply side, participants can easily convert their idle GPUs into high-value revenue through a transparent, performance-weighted reward mechanism. Leveraging a powerful cryptographic-economic consensus, BTTInferGrid is spearheading a new paradigm shift toward decentralized AI infrastructure.

TRON Eco AI Pizza Festival Officially Kicks Off — Win Dual Prizes!

SUN, JUST, AINFT, BitTorrent, and WINkLink—the five core projects of the TRON ecosystem—have jointly launched the “TRON Eco AI Pizza Festival” with B.AI, a cutting-edge AI financial infrastructure platform. The event runs until May 29. A dedicated prize pool of 2,000 USDT has been established, and new users will receive 500,000 B.AI points. To participate, users simply need to follow and retweet the relevant project posts, claim points at chat.b.ai/chat, use their exclusive AI Pizza invitation code to submit a query, and then @ three friends and leave a comment in the event’s tweet thread. The prize pool will be unlocked once the total number of comments across all five projects exceeds 4,000; final rewards will be distributed based on each project’s comment-section engagement ranking. Through this dual-incentive mechanism, the event significantly lowers the barrier for Web3 users to experience state-of-the-art large language models, accelerating the integration and real-world adoption of AI infrastructure within the TRON ecosystem.
