Layer 2: BitTorrent Chain
BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is a TRON-based Layer 2 scaling solution that also bridges TRON with Ethereum, BSC, and other networks. EVM-compatible, low fees, near-instant confirmation.
Prerequisites
BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is a TRON-based Layer 2 scaling solution that also acts as a cross-chain bridge — supporting asset transfers between TRON, Ethereum, BSC, and additional networks the project continues to add. It is EVM-compatible, uses PoS consensus, and runs on the BTT token for gas and staking.
This page is an entry point. BTTC maintains its own developer documentation, network specs, and tooling at the resources below.

Where BTTC fits in the TRON stack
BTTC sits next to TRON's main chain, not on top of it. TRON Layer 1 retains the canonical state for TRX, TRC-10, and TRC-20 assets; BTTC is a separate EVM-compatible chain that bridges assets in and out and offers a different fee and throughput profile. Pick BTTC when you need:
- Cross-chain asset movement between TRON and Ethereum / BSC ecosystems
- EVM-compatible execution with cheaper gas and faster confirmation than mainnet Ethereum
- A landing surface for DApps that need to interoperate with multiple chains
