tor is iconic. i'll give them that.
but volunteer goodwill doesn't scale. never did. never will.
ethereum out here praising a decades-old patch while $ANYONE already built what tor couldn't.
28,291 relays. more than any decentralized onion network on earth.
because people get paid to run them.
do the math.
inevitable.
@ethereum@torproject Ethereum, at its core, demonstrates the power of aligned incentives to turn a disparate set of operators into the most censorship-resistant computer in the world.
Support networks that embrace decentralized incentives and economic security, not those that actively oppose them.
All signs suggest that the era of a free and open Internet may be coming to an end.
Around the world, governments are introducing new regulations affecting social media platforms, VPNs, encryption, online speech, and data flows. Some measures are aimed at security and combating misinformation; others raise concerns about #privacy, censorship, and digital freedom.
We may be moving toward a world where internet access and online rights vary significantly depending on where you live. Instead of one global Internet, we could see a more fragmented digital landscape with different rules, restrictions, and levels of access across countries.
As governments and centralized entities gain increasing control over the digital landscape, protecting internet freedom may depend not only on policy debates, but also on the technologies we choose to build and adopt.
Decentralized privacy networks such as ANyONe Protocol (@AnyoneFDN) represent one approach to preserving privacy, open access, and censorship resistance through community-powered infrastructure designed to keep communication and information flows open in an increasingly fragmented online world.
The future of online privacy will not be shaped only by those who regulate it, but by those who build the alternatives that preserve it.

If you're worried about a potential VPN ban (and given what we've seen so far, we all should be) - get the right software downloaded ahead of time.
The @AnyoneFDN client bypasses traditional VPN checks as it's an onion routing proxy network. Access sites with more privacy than any VPN with the client!

The base:0xe67f39fbe8c24ef8b3542efed1ee9963cefc1f2a token now has a dedicated cashtag on 𝕏. Simply use the ticker in posts and replies to get a direct reference, visible on both desktop and mobile.
More token adoption for ANYONE.
@T3chFalcon Why would you ever do this when you can use @AnyoneFDN compeltely for free and utilise their decentralised, onion routing services which are far superior than any VPN?
$ETH sentiment was at ATL
We saw the @Bankless co founder @TrustlessState publicly capitulate the bottom (classic)
I reckon its going to be bounce along with utility plays bootstrapping the network
Still holding a whale bag (whats left PA wise) of base:0xe67f39fbe8c24ef8b3542efed1ee9963cefc1f2a
Privacy required
Currently, all nodes in the network are funded via emissions of our native crypto-token $ANYONE - we have a small inflation rate (~2% a year) in the circulating supply to cover relay costs.
Because its typically so cheap to run a node, the emissions are able to sustainably support a network far larger than is needed to handle all current traffic.
We also commit to always maintaining a fast, free version of the Anyone Network forever, even as we add some premium features in the future.
let me tell you why this matters more than people think.
the UK just passed a law that's being sold as child protection.
it's not.
it's a mandatory ID check for every adult who uses social media. you prove who you are, or you don't get access. that's the deal.
and this is just the beginning.
governments have figured out that the easiest way to control speech is to control identity. you can't say anything anonymously if you don't exist anonymously.
VPNs are going to blow up in the UK. everyone's going to suddenly care about privacy. there will be a hundred "solutions" overnight.
most of them will route your traffic through a centralized server with a good landing page and a terms of service nobody reads.
you'll just be trusting a different company instead of the government.
that's not privacy. that's a costume.
$ANYONE is different.
no central server. no signup. no company holding your data. onion routing across multiple hops around the world. the network runs because node operators get paid to run it - not because a startup is burning VC money hoping you don't notice.
but it's not just a VPN. it's the infrastructure underneath.
the UK just handed $ANYONE its biggest marketing campaign.
and they don't even know it yet.
