IPFS · Ceramic · TTT on Arbitrum
An electronic music catalog
nobody can switch off.
Torrentech is a decentralized archive of electronic music. Files live on IPFS, the catalog runs on Ceramic, and the economy is powered by TTT on Arbitrum. No central server to seize, no single point of failure.
Two ways in
The app is the product. The web catalog is not public yet.
Linux and macOS apps carry the full catalog — wallet, pin, free download, comments, upload. app.torrentech.org is an operator preview (HTTP Basic), not a public pay-and-download site.
Get the app
Linux AppImage or macOS .app. In-app wallet, bundled IPFS
and Ceramic. Builds are still in development.
- Create or import a wallet in the app

Just download
The browser catalog will be pay-and-download only when it opens. Today it is operator-gated. Use the desktop app for the public path.

- Operator preview at app.torrentech.org
- Pay TTT in the browser when it ships
- No pin, free download, comments, or upload
Under the hood
Decentralized by design
No company owns the catalog. It is stitched together from open protocols, so it keeps working even if any one piece goes away.
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 Catalog on Ceramic
Release metadata, tags, comments and votes live on Ceramic streams instead of a private database. The catalog is open data.
03 Economy on Arbitrum
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.
Self-throttling rewards
The reward per pin scales with remaining mintable supply under a 1B hard cap, so emission slows automatically as supply grows. Full write-up on the tokenomics page.
