Building Decentralized Solutions for Digital Privacy
summary
Orchid builds a multi‑hop, system‑wide VPN that uses ERC‑20 OXT tokens and a novel probabilistic nano‑payments scheme to pay providers off‑chain, claiming the expected value equals on‑chain payments while avoiding blockchain congestion. Code is open source, network launched in December and listed on one US exchange, current node count is small but live, user tests show mobile video streaming works over hops, and curated smart‑contract lists let communities trust specific nodes.
