BitTorrent is the the world’s largest decentralized file sharing protocol. The BTT token, which is built on the Tron blockchain, allows content creators to connect with their audience in a new way, and will allow files to be transferred at faster speeds.

U Network is developing a decentralized content publishing and discovery platform. The network is powered by the Ethereum-based UUU token. Content creators are rewarded for publishing quality content, while other users are rewarded for predicting what content will be popular. U Network's on-chain prediction market protocol has a pricing mechanism for up votes and down votes that serves as a curating mechanism.

Decent is developing a decentralized content distribution platform with a native blockchain. It will allow anyone to buy, sell, or share content without intermediaries. Decent runs on a Proof of Custody blockchain, that is powered by its native coin, Decent (DCT). DCT is used to view and publish content. Content creators can upload media and choose a price that users can pay to download. The file is then uploaded and encrypted to the network. Publishers (miners) host the content, and users can download it. Decent also has a reputation system that is designed to facilitate the distribution of relevant content to users.
