An EVM-compatible cross-chain Layer 2 connecting TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, BitTorrent Chain offers ultra-low fees and fast finality using BTT gas.
BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is an EVM-compatible, proof-of-stake network that connects TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, using BTT as its gas token. It delivers fast, low-cost execution (≈2–3s block time, thousands TPS throughput, and average gas fees often under $0.001), making it ideal for cross-chain asset transfers, DeFi, GameFi, and micro-payments tied to BitTorrent/BTFS storage. Developers deploy Solidity smart contracts with familiar Ethereum tooling while reaching users across multiple ecosystems.
BTTC is uniquely focused on native cross-chain interoperability: its built-in bridge moves assets and messages across TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain while keeping full EVM compatibility. Compared with Ethereum L1 and many L2s/sidechains, it provides sub-cent BTT gas, ≈2–3s blocks, and high throughput (thousands TPS), plus direct access to the large TRON user base and BitTorrent services. This blend of ultra-low fees, fast finality, and TRON-first connectivity differentiates BTTC from generic EVM networks.
BitTorrent Chain uses BTT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain BTT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge BTT to BitTorrent Chain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select BitTorrent Chain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on BitTorrent Chain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add BitTorrent Chain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send BTT on BitTorrent Chain, ensure your wallet is connected to the BitTorrent Chain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of BTT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
