As part of the newly announced Atlas project, Justin Sun plans to integrate the TRON and BitTorrent protocols, promises to encourage seeders and surpass the Ethereum network.
Since the official confirmation of the purchase BitTorrent Inc., endless versions of using the combination of P2P file sharing software BitTorrent and blockchain technology have been put forward.
After a pause, TRON founder Justin Sun announced the launch of a new Atlas project, which had already been talked about, but details were not disclosed. A new project will be launched to develop the Tron network and merge it with BitTorrent. The project is set to improve the BitTorrent protocol by speeding up its operation and extending the lifespan of BitTorrent swarms. At this stage, the capabilities and power of platforms for protocol compatibility are being studied. The Atlas project plan is still subject to finalization by the Tron team, and detailed technical information about the project will not be available until August 31.
Justin Sun is confident that the Atlas project will allow Tron to bypass Ethereum and become the most influential blockchain platform. Tron also intends to preserve and exploit the altruism of BitTorrent. The company intends to increase rewards for peers who distribute torrents and create new opportunities for global payments and online content. According to the developers, the combination of the new TRON protocol and P2P BitTorrent technology provides excellent prospects for the development of a new peer-to-peer form for media content and its monetization. In addition to the technological advantages, the acquisition allows TRON to grow exponentially in the cryptocurrency space.
Again, the details of the project have not yet been disclosed, but the prospects voiced by Justin for increasing the efficiency of the TRON network are likely related to improving the torrenting function on the platform. The key points of joint functioning have not yet been determined; only plans for using cryptocurrency to scale the network are known.
TRON Foundation notes that it will not integrate mining-related features or innovations that are negative for users into BitTorrent products.
