Tron (TRX)
Tron’s BitTorrent is releasing a simple website for downloading files that are shared on the BitTorrent protocol.
The platform will likely utilize a new token that will be used to reward people for sharing files with others.
The @BitTorrent and @utorrent teams have been working extremely hard on a new product called µTorrent Web over the last couple of months. We're excited to launch a simple, web-based product that allows quick download to playability! https://t.co/q8HUTuLWbT
