According to the statement, the new ecosystem will provide in a single infrastructure support:

• decentralized data storage (BTFS);
• content distribution (BitTorrent);
• video streaming (DLive).

All BitTorrent X services will run on the BTT token.

“BitTorrent X is the next step in creating a truly decentralised Internet,” said Tron founder and BitTorrent CEO Justin Sun.

TRON and BitTorrent plan to provide more details about the future ecosystem during an interactive event in November.

In December 2019, DLive entered into a strategic partnership with BitTorrent, under which it migrated to the Tron blockchain and integrated BTT.

Justin Sun acquired BitTorrent in 2018.
