BitTorrent Marks 25 Years with 25% Discount on Pro Plans
BitTorrent is celebrating its 25th anniversary by offering users a 25% discount on Pro plans for both BitTorrent and µTorrent. The limited-time offer runs from July 25 to August 25, and can be redeemed using the code '25for25' at checkout.
This milestone highlights the protocol's enduring impact on decentralized technology and content distribution. Launched in 2001 by Bram Cohen, the BitTorrent protocol revolutionized how data was shared online by enabling decentralized file distribution.
Today, BitTorrent operates on one of the world's largest decentralized P2P networks, with over 100 million active users and its software installed on over a billion devices globally. Since its acquisition by TRON in 2018, BitTorrent has integrated blockchain technology into its ecosystem, introducing the BitTorrent Token (BTT) in 2019.
The BTT token incentivizes file seeding and improves network performance, while its companion protocol, BitTorrent Chain (BTTC), enables cross-chain compatibility with TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. The anniversary promotion underscores BitTorrent's commitment to expanding access to decentralized technology.
