Use Cases
TOR isn’t just a novel privacy bridge — it unlocks entirely new categories of use cases across the DeFi, DAO, NFT, and cross-chain worlds.
Here’s how real users can leverage The Onion Router.
1. Anonymous DeFi Activity
Bridge ETH → USDC → back again without exposing wallet linkages.
Use case: Avoid wallet fingerprinting when:
Yield farming with multiple wallets
Providing liquidity anonymously
Executing DEX trades without being tracked
2. Private DAO Payouts
Treasuries can route funds privately to contributors or vendors without doxxing wallet flows.
Why it matters:
Prevent public scrutiny of payroll flows
Secure bounty rewards
Avoid phishing and targeted scams
3. Cross-Chain NFT Transfers
Bridge NFTs with identity masking:
Creator launches on Ethereum
Bridges to Polygon for cheaper distribution
Identity of holder and origin chain remain hidden
4. Gas-Efficient Portfolio Rebalancing
Move value across chains for yield strategies, with:
No double-spending risk
No bridge pool slippage
No bridge fee (just pay gas)
5. Censorship-Resistant Payments
Send or receive funds under hostile regimes where surveillance or banking pressure exists.
No centralized chokepoints
No KYC-gated relays
Supports global freedom tech orgs, dissidents, and NGOs
6. Early User Rewards
Use TOR early, rack up:
Transaction count & volume on the leaderboard
Rack up Offchain Points
Eligibility for airdrops, refferal scheme + Revenue Share
