The Origins Of BTT and The Future Of The Cryptocurrency

BitTorrent Token (BTT) was brought into existence earlier this year after a successful collaboration between BitTorrent and Tron. The purpose of it was to tokenize the file-sharing protocol of BitTorrent which gives users of Tron added bandwidth and faster content delivery on the blockchain.

The token is a TRC-10 digital asset which is based on the Tron network. Since its inception, the token has gained popularity in the crypto world and it is currently traded on about 36 exchanges and wallets. With the potential that BitTorrent itself has always had, it is easy to imagine that BTT will soon become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies. As the cryptocurrency grows, more people will be looking to not only buy it but they’ll also look to buy Tron (TRX).

BitTorrent aims to introduce three incentives to promote the further adoption of the BTT. The incentives have been named Partner incentives, User incentives and Ecosystem incentives. Through these incentives, BitTorrent hopes that they will achieve the development of BTT’s ecosystem, broaden its use cases and promote the advancement of BTT powered projects. The incentives will also aim to connect products used on a daily basis by ordinary people with the powerful technology produced by BitTorrent.
