Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun has revealed his intentions to pioneer significant advancements in blockchain technology through the integration of BitTorrent Token (BTT) with artificial intelligence (AI) computing. Via X social media platform, Sun shared insights on how this collaboration is poised to revolutionize the industry. He pointed out that BitTorrent, renowned for its extensive global user base and a vast network of distributed nodes, is at the vanguard of this innovative shift.
Sun explained the operational dynamics of this integration, stating that nodes within the BitTorrent network could earn BTT by performing computational tasks. These tasks are crucial for AI functionalities such as content delivery networks (CDN) and distributed computing, among others. The essence of combining BTT with AI computing lies in leveraging the distributed nature of BitTorrent’s network to fulfill the high computational demands of AI technologies, including machine learning and deep learning processes.
The initiative is designed to counter the conventional dependence on centralized cloud computing services for AI’s computational needs. By distributing these tasks across BitTorrent’s nodes, the integration aims to reduce operational costs and promote the principles of decentralization, transparency, and security in AI technology development.
Additionally, Sun’s focus extends beyond BTT and AI computing to broader innovations within the Tron ecosystem. He has previously engaged the Tron community in discussions about the future development of TRX and HTX cryptocurrencies, touching upon AI, GPT computing, meme coins, gaming finance, and Bitcoin layer 2 solutions. Community responses vary, with some advocating for a broad integration strategy while others suggest a more focused approach.
Further, Sun also recently announced plans for a decentralized payment framework leveraging Tron blockchain and AI systems such as ChatGPT from OpenAI. This initiative aims to redefine decentralized finance standards by facilitating efficient and convenient payment systems integrated with AI technologies. The framework will utilize a smart contract system, payment layer protocol, calling SDK, and an AI payment gateway, enhancing the Tron ecosystem’s capabilities in decentralized storage and governance.
The timing of these discussions coincides with a positive market response to BTT. Following the Tron network’s announcement of another TRX token burn, BTT has seen a price increase of over 12%. Over the past month, more than 170 million TRX tokens have been eliminated from circulation, contributing to a deflationary phase for TRX with an annualized rate decrease of 2.99%. At press time, BTT was up 32% over the past 24 hours.
