Torrentech

IPFS · Ceramic · TTT on Arbitrum

A 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 is for download.

Linux and macOS apps carry the full catalog — wallet, pin, free download, comments, upload. The site at app.torrentech.org is a light catalog: pay TTT and take the files.

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 when settlement is on. 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.
