Many people are talking about decentralization today, but they forget about something that has been doing it right from the start: BitTorrent.
It wasn't created for Web3; in fact, it predates blockchain by over a decade. No central servers, no platform scheduling—where are the files? In the hands of everyone. When you download, you're also uploading to others. The network isn't "for you," it's built by everyone together.
This is true decentralization.
With BitTorrent integrated into the TRON ecosystem, the logic becomes even more complete. TRON addresses high-frequency, low-cost settlement and incentive issues, while BitTorrent itself solves distribution and bandwidth problems. One ensures "can run," the other ensures "can be used."
BTFS brings storage into the fold, and BTT turns contributions into incentives. This isn't just forcing Web3 concepts; it's reigniting a mature decentralized network with blockchain technology.
Many projects are "having tokens first, then finding scenarios," But BitTorrent is the opposite: the scenario has been running for over twenty years, and now it's capturing the value.
Decentralization isn't simply about removing the center; it's about creating a system that can operate long-term without a central authority.

BitTorrent + TRON, Truly Achieving Decentralization

BitTorrent has already proven this.
