BitTorrent

BitTorrent is the company behind the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol and the uTorrent and BitTorrent desktop and web torrent clients, one of the most widely deployed distributed content-delivery technologies on the internet. Now part of the TRON ecosystem, BitTorrent also operates BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) — a layer-2 proof-of-stake cross-chain scaling and interoperability network bridging TRON, Ethereum, and BSC — along with the BTT token, the BTFS decentralized storage layer, and BitTorrent Speed. Its developer surface spans the local uTorrent Web UI API for controlling torrent clients and the BitTorrent Chain developer documentation for building on the BTTC network. Surfaced as a portfolio company of dcm-ventures and enriched into the API Evangelist network.

BitTorrent is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, File Sharing, Torrent, and Peer-to-Peer.
