What Are Trackers On - Torrents

DHT represents the evolution of the BitTorrent protocol. In a trackerless environment, there is no central server keeping the list of peers. Instead, every user acts as a tiny tracker, holding a small portion of a massive, decentralized routing table. When a user wants a file, their client queries the distributed network, hopping from node to node until it finds peers who have the data. This innovation made the torrent ecosystem significantly more resilient to censorship and shutdowns.
