Buy Orchid (OXT): Orchid (OXT) creates a decentralised VPN to enhance online privacy. Learn what OXT is and why people use it.
Think of Orchid (OXT) like a new type of internet privacy tool. It's a decentralised Virtual Private Network (VPN), which means it's not controlled by any single company. Instead, it runs on a network of computers owned by different people all over the world.
Traditional VPNs can be tracked or even blocked. Orchid, however, is harder to control because it uses a special cryptocurrency called OXT. This token lets you pay for internet bandwidth from different providers on the Orchid network.
Think of it like this. Your internet traffic is like a package. Instead of sending it through one main road (a regular VPN), Orchid sends it through many different paths (the decentralised network), making it difficult for anyone to track where it came from or where it's going.
