ATOR: Building the Largest Privacy DePIN
In an age where every aspect of people’s internet activity is tracked and analyzed, and trust in corporations to uphold internet privacy is at an all-time low, ATOR has staked their belief that only a decentralized solution can deliver true internet privacy.
In their mission to build a universal privacy layer for the internet, ATOR is on course to build the largest traffic-routing and privacy DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure). In embarking on this mission, ATOR has signed monumental partnerships that will propel the project into a global movement.
Background: ATOR Protocol
Launched in early 2023, ATOR initially sought to strengthen the Tor network, building out the Proof-of-Uptime protocol that, just months into its release, governed over 20% of Tor’s relays. Since then, ATOR has pivoted into developing its own network, taking Tor’s onion-routing technology and deploying a new level of decentralization and applicability.
ATOR’s Vision for the Universal Privacy Layer for the Internet
ATOR’s new vision is ‘Privacy, not Secrecy’. The ATOR Network is a composable traffic-routing layer that any application can route through or build on top of, protecting a wide range of network traffic. The network is planned to be truly decentralized, open to anyone to contribute their bandwidth and resources for its growth.

Partnerships with industry leaders like Hotspotty, Gold and Hawks, and IoTeX have further strengthened ATOR’s position in the DePIN space, attracting other prominent web3 projects to utilize the ATOR Network for enhanced privacy.
New Paradigm with Imminent Launch of Hardware
ATOR introduces open-source relay hardware to democratize participation in the network, offering rewards in ATOR tokens for contributors. The hardware acts as a node, with plans to evolve into a router, providing end-to-end encryption for all network traffic.
With the imminent launch of hardware at ETH Denver 2024, ATOR is set to revolutionize the DePIN landscape, offering a simple yet powerful solution for mainstream internet privacy.
