Abstract.
The BitTorrent (BTT) token burning system aims to regulate the supply of tokens and allow users to burn their tokens in a transparent and orderly manner. The system consists of two types of wallets: Hot Wallets and Unlimited Black Hole Wallets.
The system is designed to allow users who have accumulated BTT tokens through staking on various platforms to participate in token burns. This provides incentives for users and minimizes potential losses.
2. System Definition
- Staking: The process by which users deposit their BTT tokens in a wallet or staking platform to earn rewards.
- Hot Wallet: A temporary wallet that holds BTT tokens from users who want to burn their tokens.
- Unlimited Black Hole Wallet: A permanent wallet that stores tokens that have been burned and can no longer be accessed.
[BTT Staking Platform] → [User Sends BTT] → [Hot Wallet] → [24 hour Wait Time Setting] → [Movement to Black Hole Wallet] → [Permanent Burn]

3. System Workflow
3.1. User Completes Staking
- Users store their BTT tokens on staking platforms such as Tron Wallet, Binance, OKEx, Huobi, or the BTT wallet itself.
- Users receive staking rewards in the form of additional BTT tokens.
3.2. User Sends Tokens to Hot Wallet
- After accumulating enough BTT tokens from staking, users can choose to participate in the burn.
- User sends a certain amount of BTT tokens obtained from staking to the Hot Wallet address.
3.3. Wait Time Settings
- Tokens sent to Hot Wallet will be held for a period of one year. Until the month (July 2) during this period users can withdraw their tokens if they change their mind.
3.4. Unlimited Transfers to Black Hole Wallet
- Once the waiting period ends, tokens still in the Hot Wallet will be automatically moved to the Unlimited Black Hole Wallet via an automated script.
3.5. Permanent Burning
- Tokens that have been moved to the Unlimited Black Hole Wallet are considered burned and cannot be accessed or used again.
3.6. Annual Burning
- Every year, on (July 2), there must be a regular burning where a specified number of tokens will be burned automatically via a smart contract. the token to be burned must be 2,127 BTT. The burning was to commemorate the creation of BitTorrent in 2001 July 2.
4. Technical Implementation
4.1. Making Hot Wallets
- Create a wallet address for Hot Wallet and publish this address on the official website or through official communication channels.
4.2. Automation Scripts
- Develop a script that periodically checks the Hot Wallet balance and moves tokens to the Unlimited Black Hole Wallet after the waiting period ends.
- Scripts must verify transactions to ensure the security and integrity of the burning process.
4.3. Creating Unlimited Black Hole Wallets
- Create a wallet address for Unlimited Black Hole Wallet.
- Make sure this address has no known or accessible private keys.
5. Incentives and Education
5.2. User Education
- Create educational materials about the benefits of token burning and how it can increase the value of the BTT ecosystem as a whole.
- Explain the staking process and how users can utilize staking proceeds to participate in burning.
6. Transparency and Reporting
- Publish regular reports on the number of tokens that have been burned.
- Provide a public interface to verify transactions involving Hot Wallets and Unlimited Black Hole Wallets.
7. Security
- Ensure all steps are taken to maintain the security of the Hot Wallet and token transfer process.
- Use strong security protocols and regular audits to detect and prevent potential threats.
Conclusion
By integrating staking into the BTT token burning system, users are encouraged to participate without harming their balance. They can use staking proceeds to contribute to the token burn, which in turn can increase the value of remaining tokens and provide long-term benefits to the ecosystem. And also implementing this burning system on the anniversary of the creation of BitTorrent, not only encourages active participation from the community but also creates a symbolic moment that strengthens the community’s emotional attachment to the BitTorrent ecosystem.
