ATOR Protocol is a brand that empowers the adoption and strength of the Tor network, contributing to internet anonymity at scale. By participating as a relay, users can earn ATOR tokens passively through Proof-of-Uptime. ATOR strengthens decentralized networks like Tor by incentivizing users to build a larger number of active relays, accommodating more volume.

The protocol is built to preserve end-to-end privacy, utilizing gasless layer 2 transactions powered by Smartweave. Furthermore, ATOR Protocol addresses the global problem of having more Tor users than DeFi combined, preserving the parallel internet. Both technical and non-technical users can contribute to decentralized networks and mine ATOR tokens using ATOR's interoperable relay hardware.

Moreover, ATOR Protocol enables private services, including onion services, to transact securely using ATOR. Whitelisting existing Tor nodes into the ATOR Protocol is also possible, by simply holding ATOR tokens. Join ATOR Protocol to be a part of their roadmap, which includes the project launch, relay registration and metrics development, ATOR Relay v1 and validators, and the beta protocol and hardware distributions.
