This occasion brings together the BitTorrent community for a live interactive audio session hosted on X Space as part of the project’s holiday engagement activities. During the gathering, the BitTorrent team — including prominent community figure @eliorathelight — will interact with listeners, discuss recent developments, and share perspectives related to BitTorrent’s integration in the TRON network and its broader ecosystem.
The BitTorrent Token (BTT) conducted its public token sale in late January 2019 through Binance Launchpad, a dedicated token offering platform operated by the Binance exchange. This sale marked one of the early mainstream blockchain fundraising events for a utility token built on the TRON blockchain, aimed at enhancing the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing ecosystem
Token Sale Highlights
The BTT offering was executed with two simultaneous purchase channels: one accepting TRON’s native token (TRX) and the other accepting Binance Coin (BNB). This dual-payment format broadened participation and helped attract a diverse set of contributors.
Within minutes of launch, overwhelming demand led to a complete sell-out of the allocated token supply. All BTT units available for purchase were taken by participants in under 15 minutes, with both payment sessions closing swiftly due to high interest.
Each BTT token in the sale was priced at $0.00012 USD — a figure that reflected market conditions at the time and Binance’s pricing for its Launchpad offerings.
