The ATOR Protocol (ATOR) is a project designed to revolutionize online anonymity and privacy by leveraging Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). This innovative crypto project combines hardware systems, blockchain technology, and economics to incentivize decentralized internet relay operators through on-chain rewards. ATOR aims to facilitate the widespread provision of open and anonymous protocols through hardware by empowering these operators.
One of ATOR's key components is the ATOR Relay, which functions as a node in networks like Tor, a well-known privacy-focused network. By contributing bandwidth through the ATOR Relay, users can earn ATOR tokens. The Protocol also aims to route personal browsing through Tor, enhancing privacy and security.
By leveraging blockchain technology, ATOR allows individuals to contribute to the Tor network and third-party services while earning ATOR tokens. Additionally, the upcoming introduction of on-chain rewards in 2024 is expected to incentivize participation in decentralized networks further.
The ATOR Protocol's token, ATOR, serves as the project’s core element, representing the network’s lifeblood. Through the pre-order program, individuals and entities can participate in running relays within decentralized networks, contributing to the vision of a more open and anonymous online environment.
