BTFS Protocol v4.1 Mainnet Is Now Live!

What's new in BTFS v4.1
- BTIP-103: BTFS clients can now retrieve Storage Provider (SP) addresses directly from the proposal contract, creating a seamless connection between governance and storage workflows.
- BTIP-104: Users can now extend storage duration for their uploaded files through both automatic and manual renewal options - no re-uploading required.
- BTIP-105: A new proxy mode with dedicated upload routing enables a proxy node to forward client file data sent to designated SPs. This feature is especially effective in restricted networks or NAT environments, greatly enhancing the accessibility and reliability of file uploads.
Release packages are now available for Apple ARM architecture.
We are committed to refining the BTFS protocol and accelerating network decentralization. For questions or feedback, feel free to reach out anytime.

About BTFS
The BitTorrent File System (BTFS) is both a protocol and a web application that provides a content-addressable peer-to-peer mechanism for storing and sharing digital content in a decentralized file system, as well as a base platform for decentralized applications (Dapp). The BTFS team has been working on the latest network operations and BTT market sentiment, etc., to make a series of dynamic adjustments such as upload prices and airdrop reward schemes.
