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
