ATOR Protocol

ATOR empowers The Onion Router (Tor) through on-chain incentives, and facilitates wider adoption of secure network relay protocols through hardware products. ATOR contributes the following to the existing Tor network:

1. A framework for existing Tor relays to receive cryptocurrency rewards in our native currency, ATOR, in accordance with their cumulative useful uptime, through a Proof-of-Uptime mechanism

2. The introduction of the 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

3. The rollout of the ATOR Relay, our own version of the Tor relay. It is designed for Tor routing and immediately interoperable with our ATOR Proof-of-Uptime framework, allowing non-technical users to mine ATOR and contribute to web anonymity through Tor.
