Decentralized electronic music freex.
Torrentech is a decentralized curated archive of electronic music. Files live on IPFS, metadata runs on Ceramic, and the economy is powered by TTT on Arbitrum One.

Under the hood
Decentralized by design
Open protocols, your own pins, and no private catalog database — the archive keeps running if one service drops.
01 Files on IPFS
Every release is content-addressed on public IPFS. Album audio on the mesh is encrypted; the app decrypts it after you pay or use free download. Anyone running a node can keep a copy alive — the more pinners, the more durable the archive.
02 Metadata on Ceramic
Release metadata, tags, comments and votes live on Ceramic streams instead of a private database. Release data is open. Threads display on the web; posting needs the desktop app.
03 Economy on Arbitrum One
TTT (an ERC-20 token) pays for downloads and rewards pinners. Roles and permissions are on-chain ERC-1155 NFTs — resolved fresh on every connect.
The token
What TTT is for
Pay to download
Downloads cost a small amount of TTT (default 2). Paying burns the token — that is how mint capacity for pinners stays open. Free download is desktop-only, one download per cooldown.
Earn by pinning
Desktop users who keep release content continuously available earn TTT at each reward period after verifiers attest the pin. The operator scheduler settles closed periods into your wallet. Only pinning is rewarded — not uploading or moderating.
Capped supply
Pin rewards are a fixed 5 TTT. Paid downloads burn 2 TTT. Supply cannot exceed 1 billion. Full write-up on the tokenomics page.
