Announcement on the Launch of BTT Buyback and Burn

Dear BitTorrent community,
BitTorrent is launching a long-term BTT buyback and burn program in Q3 2026.
All revenue generated from BitTorrent's decentralized services will be used to buy back BTT on a quarterly basis. Burn data for each quarter will be published in the middle of the first month in the following quarter - fully transparent and verifiable on-chain.
First Burn Schedule
1. Timeline:
- Q3 2026: Begin batch buybacks.
- Mid-October 2026: Complete the token burn and publish the data.
2. Source of Funds:
- 100% of the revenue from BitTorrent's decentralized services.
- With the launch of BTTInferGrid, these services are expected to generate additional revenue, steadily increasing the available buyback funds.
3. How It Works:
- Q3 revenue from BitTorrent's decentralized services will be used to buy back BTT tokens directly at market price.
- All repurchased tokens will be sent to a burn address in mid-October and permanently removed from circulation.
- Once completed, we will announce the total amount burned, its percentage of the total supply, and the on-chain transaction hash.
Thank you for your support!

BTTInferGrid: A Decentralized Compute Network for AI Inference

BTTInferGrid is a decentralized compute network for AI inference, built as a DePIN network. It connects idle GPU supply with AI inference demand worldwide, providing open-access, verifiable, pay-as-you-go inference services.
AI Inference Is Reshaping Infrastructure Demand
As AI infrastructure demand expands from training into large-scale inference, the core constraints of infrastructure are changing. Compute supply, invocation cost, and service availability are becoming critical product variables for developers and enterprises deploying AI applications.
- Leading AI companies and cloud providers continue to invest heavily in data centers, but fast-growing inference demand and pronounced usage peaks still create cost and elasticity pressure for centralized supply.
- Open-source large models such as Llama, Qwen, and DeepSeek have lowered the barrier to model adoption, yet developers still need stable, low-cost, and easy-to-access inference compute at the deployment stage.
- Some idle GPU capacity remains distributed across personal devices, workstations, small data rooms, AI / rendering workstations, and existing GPU compute facilities. These resources have not yet been efficiently connected to the AI inference market, leaving room for better utilization.
BTFS has demonstrated capabilities in resource onboarding, node incentivization, on-chain settlement, and community networking in the decentralized storage domain, validating the feasibility of the DePIN model in resource-type infrastructure.
The core objective of this upgrade is to extend the existing decentralized resource organization capabilities from storage scenarios to AI inference computing scenarios.
What Is BTTInferGrid?
BTTInferGrid is a decentralized compute network for AI inference, built as a DePIN network.
Its goal is to connect idle GPU supply with AI inference demand, provide developers with cost-efficient, scalable, and trustworthy inference services, and create a sustainable revenue channel for GPU resource providers.
Three Core Features:
- Open Supply Network: GPU nodes that meet performance and stability requirements can join the network, lowering the participation threshold for resource providers.
- Verifiable Service Quality and Node Behavior: Task scheduling, challenge verification, consensus scoring, and on-chain coordination improve inference service credibility while reducing cheating and abnormal-output risks.
- Demand-Driven Economic Model: Real inference calls and node performance serve as the basis for incentives, helping supply scale in line with market demand.
Network Participants:
- Miners: They connect local GPU devices to accept and execute AI inference tasks. Rewards are allocated based on verified workload, task quality, and dynamic performance scores.
- Validators: They continuously audit miner performance and conduct random challenges. Scores from multiple independent validators are aggregated through consensus to identify abnormal behavior and maintain service quality.
- AI Developers: They submit inference requests through a unified API or use mainstream open-source models through the B.AI platform. The system aims to reduce model access costs, improve invocation experience, and support flexible deployment choices for different business scenarios.
Technical Architecture
BTTInferGrid adopts a layered architecture design, decoupling and coordinating the application, compute, and settlement layers:

- Compute layer: model inference, real-time responses, and high-concurrency request processing, supporting mainstream open-source models
- Settlement layer: staking, settlement, reward distribution, and penalty mechanisms through smart contracts
- Open ecosystem: BTT can serve as a foundational option for unified incentives and settlement within the ecosystem, with the potential to cover usage, contribution, and allocation flows across compute resources.
Product Roadmap: Phased Network Growth
Short Term · 2026 · Network Cold Start
Complete core node onboarding and inference service validation while gradually expanding the number of online GPU nodes. Add support for mainstream open-source models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, and launch API services for developers and enterprise customers.
Mid Term · 2027 · Ecosystem Closed Loop
Improve inference service stability and security, supporting more model formats and inference frameworks. After the inference network becomes stable, explore adjacent compute scenarios such as federated learning, model fine-tuning, and cross-chain resource access to expand the network's application scope and ecosystem compatibility.
Long Term · 2028+ · AI-Native Infrastructure
Build infrastructure capabilities for AI agents and automated applications, enabling compute, storage, and smart contracts to coordinate within one unified network. The long-term goal is to become a decentralized inference layer that open-source AI applications can choose, providing elastic support for large-scale AI use cases.
FAQ
Why the name BTTInferGrid?
BTT refers to BitTorrent Token, the general-purpose token within the ecosystem; Infer refers to inference; Grid refers to a grid-based compute network. The name emphasizes the product's positioning as an AI inference compute network.
What kind of GPU do miners need?
Nodes need to meet minimum VRAM, compute benchmark, and stability requirements. Both high-performance consumer GPUs and professional GPUs can participate, with task allocation based on actual performance scores.
How does the network improve inference service credibility?
The network combines task dispatch, hidden challenges, consensus scoring, and on-chain coordination to verify node behavior, task completion, and result consistency, while incentive and penalty mechanisms reduce the economic incentives for malicious behavior.
