Electronic music freex.
Torrentech is an operator-governed archive of electronic music. Files live on IPFS, metadata runs on Ceramic, and TTT on Arbitrum One pays for downloads and for work.

The catalog is public. The desktop app is temporarily unavailable for download. Browse and pay in the download-only web catalog at app.torrentech.org with a web wallet on Arbitrum One. RewardsV2 is the minter — tokenomics.

Under the hood
How it is hosted
The operator governs. Community nodes keep copies. A handover may happen later at the operator's discretion.
01 Files on IPFS
Every release is content-addressed on public IPFS. Album audio on the mesh is encrypted; the app decrypts it after you pay or use free download. Anyone running a node can keep a copy alive — the more pinners, the more durable the archive.
02 Metadata on Ceramic
Release metadata, tags, comments and votes live on Ceramic streams instead of a private database. Release data is open. Threads display on the web; posting needs the desktop app.
03 Economy on Arbitrum One
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
A passed check pays 5 TTT, at most one check per pinner per round (240 TTT a day). A finished verification pays 1 TTT. A moderation decision pays 40 TTT after the 14-day challenge window. The keeper settles that pay. RewardsV2 is the minter.
Capped supply
About 12,200 TTT a day is created network-wide. One wallet is capped at 5,000 TTT a day, and all operator wallets together at 15,000. Paid downloads burn 2 TTT. Supply cannot exceed 1 billion. Full write-up on the tokenomics page.
