BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is a blockchain-based protocol developed by the TRON Foundation as a layer-2 scaling solution and cross-chain interoperability platform. Launched in December 2021, BTTC enables seamless asset transfers across major blockchains such as TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, while offering fast, cheap transactions.

How it works - Architecture and Mechanics
The architecture of $BTTC BTTC consists of three layers:
Root Contracts Layer - Hosts smart contracts to handle staking, token mapping, and cross-chain transactions.
Validator Layer - Verifies cross-chain events and transactions.
BTTC Core Layer - Generates blocks, enabling fast transactions with low fees—typically less than $0.01, with block times of 2–3 seconds and throughput reaching thousands of TPS.

Users can redeem tokens (such as ETH) by locking assets in root layer contracts and receiving equivalent BTTC-mapped tokens. These tokens are burned during redemption on the main chain.

BTT vs BTTC - Clarifying the Difference
BTT (BitTorrent Token): Launched on the TRON blockchain in 2019 (initially TRC-10, later TRC-20), used to reward shared bandwidth and speed up downloads through services like BitTorrent Speed.

BTTC: Launched in December 2021, a new token tied to the BitTorrent chain. It replaced BTT in the ecosystem, with a reversion to 1:1000 (BTTOLD → BTT [BTTC]).

As one user summed it up on Reddit:
"BTT is the old coin. BTTC is the new coin. You have to convert your BTT coins into BTTC coins."
