SOL Torrent

Download App

SOL torrent aims at providing an alternative to classic P2P sharing based on SOLANA BLOCKCHAIN

Motive

Torrenting is a classic example of P2P file sharing. Major issues with classic torrents are : More copies of same data Seeder vs Leecher Conflict Security and legal inconfidence

Feature of SolTorrent

• Solana Wallet Support, can approve through Solflare wallet, Phantom Wallet & Slope Wallet.
• The user can sign in using any Solana based wallet.
• The user can upload files, notes, pdf to the Solana blockchain.
• The uploaded content can be set as private or public.
• Each upload cost some SOLs and this ensures that the data stays forever on the blockchain.
• The links to the uploaded content can be shared to download via wallet transaction.

Problem it Solves

• Removes Seeders and Leecher.
• No multiple copy of same data like classic torrents.
• More secure and accountable
• Files can be stored  on-chain directly via Solana Accounts.
• A specialized file chain, to drastically reduce the uploading cost. Links to those files are then maintained on chain.
• All the assets are encrypted by default using a key derived from a Solana Wallet.
• Minimalistic UX. Easy to access features.

Challenges we faced

• Implementing Devnet,localnet and testnet.
• Implementing a built-in note editor enables online notes edition.
• Installing anchor version.
• Deploying Smart contract.
• Integrating multiple solana wallets

Proposed Enhancements

• Curated database of contents on solana blockchain
• Provide liquidity to SOL torrents and earn fees
• P2P trades
• Schedule origin tracking for contents
