$ATOR's aim is to facilitate decentralized web internet browsing with as much privacy as possible.
It build's on top of the " TOR BROWSER" .

Tor is more than just a software.

It is a labor of love produced by an international community of people devoted to human rights.
The Tor Project is deeply committed to transparency and the safety of its users.

It has millions of users worldwide.

Current issues with TOR ?

If you are connecting through existing internet frameworks, you can't have true privacy, your IP address can still be leaked.

Apart from that, SCALING PROBLEMS & RELIANCE on volunteers to run the network servers.

This is where $ATOR helps!!

Role of BLOCKCHAIN in TOR ?

$ATOR contributes the following to existing TOR network.

⬛ $ATOR INCENTIVES
@atorprotocol is incentivising people to run TOR relays by providing $ATOR tokens, through a Proof-of-Uptime mechanism (depending on uptime provided to network)

⬛ $ATOR ROUTER HOTSPOT :

A handheld device that enables users to connect their consumer devices, via WiFi, and route all their web traffic through Tor script-free

⬛ ATOR RELAY :

It is $ATOR's own version of the Tor relay.

Designed for Tor routing and immediately interoperable with our ATOR Proof-of-Uptime framework.

So allowing non-technical users to 'mine' $ATOR and contribute to web anonymity through Tor.

MY TAKE:

I am very very bullish on Online Privacy, and the projects dealing with this.

I currently don't hold $ATOR 🥲 bcoz of my financial reasons as I am a student , but I would try to accumulate it if I get any money.
I would love to be an #atornaut.
