In October, our team began tackling thorny issues with long-term fixes that set the stage for a performant protocol. On the protocol front, we rebuilt the dashboard logic, allowing for better visibility for both users and our development team, and made our backend and Arweave interactions more resilient. On the…

September provided our team with valuable insight into how our protocol is used and its weak points in the face of real demand. It was also a month of great planning — both for the upcoming quarter and the long term. Protocol Development A month into the ATOR Testnet, and…

An exploration by our head of relay education, M1kobu The Tor network is renowned for its ability to provide online anonymity and privacy through a network of volunteer-run relays. While the network’s primary mission is to protect user identities and data, the speed at which it operates plays a vital…

August was marked by ATOR entering Goerli Testnet, but it was a productive month on a number of fronts. The path to ETH Mainnet becomes ever-clear, and we are leveraging greater resources to get there in a thorough and effective way. Protocol Development We have completed build and deployed our unique claim…

Over the next day, ATOR Protocol will enter the testnet phase of our beta. This means that our protocol will be functional end-to-end, but participants claim Test-ATOR on Goerli testnet, as opposed to the ATOR Token on ETH mainnet. All of the components needed for the protocol will be functioning…

July provided us an opportunity to engage with our evolving protocol and hardware in new ways. Progress in software development, hardware, and outreach has exceeded our expectations, and set the stage well for next month. Protocol Development This month, we have constructed our distribution contract in Smartweave. By leveraging…

ATOR as an organization moves fast, and we have scaled up considerably as we work to deliver an enterprise-level protocol at breakneck speed. As we continue to do so, we want to reaffirm our commitment to transparency and open communication. This article addresses some points raised about the activities undertaken. …

June was another stellar month in our journey, filled with big milestones, increased education, and impressive progress. We made strides in community engagement, protocol development, and hardware enhancements. Here are the major highlights: Engaging the Community We fuelled creativity and encouraged community involvement by launching our inaugural meme contest on…

May has brought forth some fascinating developments, across two strands. Firstly, protocol development has become inextricably linked to Tor metrics, with rapid progress thanks to the 100+ Tor relays registered for testing. Secondly, by specifying the technical requirements for the relay hardware, we’ve made big progress in determining components, refining…
