BitTorrent's decentralized file sharing protocol BitTorrent File System (BTFS) has launched its mainnet.
The project is to become what programmers describe as 'the largest and first scalable decentralized storage system in the world'.
According to a blog entry published on October 1, the BTFS boasts various new features and 3000 new nodes.
BitTorrent announced the BTFS at the end of May - just before it was taken over by the decentralized Tron blockchain platform. A post blog has been added to explain the short-term plans for the protocol:
"This integration is due to be completed in 2020. In the meantime, the BTFS will also be integrated into BitTorrent to take advantage of the network services of more than 100 million users."
