Earlier this week, Tron officially launched BTFS Testnet. The details of the launch were shared with the community by the founder of Tron (TRX) Justin Sun on his Twitter handle on July 1, 2019.

Justin said in the tweet:

“We were able to build a testnet in a very short amount of time and we are excited to recieve the community’s support and feedback! In the future, #BTFS will be integrated with #TRON blockchain and #BTT ecosystem.”

The BTFS Testnet is not only meant for Tron blockchain but also for BiTorrent (BTT) ecosystem. At the time of launch BTFS Testnet nodes had already been deployed to several locations around the world. A very interesting feature is the BTFS AutoUpdate which will keep the nodes up to date with all the latest features as well as fixes.

In his latest tweet on July 4, Sun expressed his excitement following the launch of BiTorrent Speed with the BTT wallet. He also asked the community members to join him for a live AMA on July 8 where he will answer questions regarding BitTorrentSpeed.
