    BitTorrent (BTT) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the BitTorrent (BTT) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence BTT price performance.

    Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

    Tokenomics & Utility

    Redenomination and standards

    • Old supply: 990,000,000,000 BTT (TRC10).
    • New supply after redenomination: 990,000,000,000,000 BTT (TRC20), with a 1:1,000 swap rate from BTTOLD to BTT.
    • New BTT (TRC20) is the gas token on BTTC and is mapped across supported chains. Contract details and swap tools are provided by the BitTorrent team. (bttc.zendesk.com)

    Original BitTorrent tokenomics

    BTT’s initial distribution (before redenomination) was outlined at launch: 6% public sale, 2% private sale, 9% seed sale, 10.1% TRON airdrop, 10% BitTorrent protocol airdrop, 19% team and foundation, 20% TRON Foundation, 19.9% ecosystem, and 4% partnerships. These allocations underpinned early growth programs and airdrops. (binance.com)

    What BTT does today

    • Gas on the BitTorrent blockchain (BTTC).
    • Staking to support validators and delegating to earn rewards.
    • Governance participation on BTTC.
    • Payments within BitTorrent Speed for faster downloads.
    • Fees and incentives for decentralized storage on BTFS. (bttc.zendesk.com)

    These uses, plus demand for cross‑chain transfers and dApp activity, are common drivers that people watch when thinking about BTT price over time. (bttc.zendesk.com)

    Assumptions

    • All pre-redenomination amounts are converted 1:1000 into new BTT units.

      Official redenomination at 1:1000 was implemented with BTTC mainnet launch on 2021-12-12; total supply increased from 990B to 990T while maintaining market cap.

    • TRON airdrop schedule modeled exactly per foundation’s monthly amounts; residual added to match 10.1% allocation.

      Official posts list fixed monthly airdrops from 2019-03-11 to 2025-02-11 and an initial airdrop on 2019-02-11. Binance Research states TRON airdrops total 10.1% over ~6 years; the difference (~0.3% of supply) is modeled as a final event-based unlock on 2025-02-11.

    • Team & BitTorrent Foundation, Seed, Private, Ecosystem, and Partnership unlocks use linear schedules where exact timetables are undisclosed.

      Primary sources disclose allocation shares and that several categories unlock over multiple years (notably through 2028), but do not provide per-category monthly vesting tables; linear interpolation ensures monthly granularity without overfitting.

    • PoS Validator Rewards are modeled as ongoing issuance at a fixed annual amount for 10 years.

      BTTC docs specify an annual reward of 7,041,208,483,000 BTT; end date set 10 years post mainnet for charting. Rewards may be funded from treasury/allocations and program parameters may change.

    • Genesis date taken as public sale (TGE) on Binance Launchpad.

      Public sale date is the most precise network-wide TGE reference available for initial distribution.
