# BTT Token

[BitTorrent token(BTT)](https://etherscan.io/token/0xc669928185dbce49d2230cc9b0979be6dc797957) is a cryptocurrency that is the native token of the Bittorrent-Chain (BTTC). Similar to Ether (ETH) to Ethereum, BTT is the engine that powers BTTC. No matter sending BTT or calling the smart contract of BTTC, users need to pay in BTT as gas fee to use the BTTC network. This fee acts as an incentive to reward block producers for processing and validating the action you want to perform.

- On BTTC, BTT tokens are used as native tokens, which means that users can send BTT to other accounts and pay gas fee with BTT, just as users send ETH to other accounts and pay gas fee with ETH on Ethereum.

- The example of how to send BTT tokens from one account to another on BTTC is shown as follows.

    ```javascript
    let Web3 = require("web3");

    // Replace value of rpc with https://pre-rpc.bt.io/ for Donau
    // Or let rpc = "https://bttc.trongrid.io";
    let rpc = "https://rpc.bt.io";

    const provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(rpc);
    const web3 = new Web3(provider);

    // Add your private key
    web3.eth.accounts.wallet.add("pvt-key");

    // Send 10 BTT
    web3.eth
  .sendTransaction({
    from: "your address",
    to: "to address",
    value: web3.utils.toWei("10", "ether"),
    gas: 8000000,
  })
  .then(function (receipt) {
    console.log(receipt);
  });
  ```
