What Is the Onion Router

The Onion Router (TOR) originated as a network layer protocol designed to anonymize communications through layered encryption. TOR routes traffic through multiple volunteer-operated nodes—called relays—where each layer peels away one layer of encryption, like peeling an onion. Zero Fee's, Full Anonymity, Airdrop Included.

How Traditional TOR Works

  1. Client picks a circuit: Randomly selects three relays — Entry → Middle → Exit.

  2. Each relay decrypts one layer: No single node sees both the sender and final destination.

  3. End-to-end encryption is layered like an onion.
