What Is MASQ Network?
MASQ combines the benefits of VPN and Tor technology, to create a superior next-generation privacy software, where users are rewarded for supporting an uncensored, global web.
Users gain privacy and anonymity online, while helping promote Internet Freedom. By using the MASQ Network, users gain increased Internet accessibility to get content that is unavailable in their region, and additionally gain privacy features so their traffic cannot be inspected
What Is MASQ token?
MASQ is an ERC-20 native utility token used for:
- Securing the network from bot-nets, DDoS and honeypot attack vectors
- Monetizes users for sharing and using bandwidth by facilitating P2P transactions
When you are using MASQ software, you pay and earn with MASQ tokens. If you are actively serving content and supporting the mesh network, you will receive MASQ for all your routing activity. At the same time, as you request and consume content from the MASQ Network, you will pay for this traffic with MASQ tokens.
