BitTorrent is a P2P network where users can share files through the internet. It is very popular and it is said to have over a hundred million users. The currency will be called BitTorrent Token and will function on a protocol that is created by a team of Tron.

The tokens are said to be shared through an airdrop system of some sort but it is still unknown how this will work as an official at Tron refused to speak and give details about them. Tron will be revealing more about the project and the coin at a summit that is being held in San Francisco.
