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.
Two ways in
Download and earn TTT with application or just download spending TTT on the web.
The catalog is public. All the albums are in the Linux and macOS apps; connect a web wallet on Arbitrum One to download, vote, and comment. https://app.torrentech.org is the download-only web catalog. Pin rewards are live — genesis.

Under the hood
Decentralized by design
Stitched together from open protocols, you control your own data you upload/pin, resilient to outage of services.
01 Files on IPFS
Every release is content-addressed on IPFS. 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.
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. 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.
