Secure Your Future: Earn Crypto By Enhancing Online Privacy 

Neuratic & DNB Wizard, ANYONE

Forget verything you think you know about the dark web. Neuratic and DNB Wizard are here to flip your world upside down with Anyone (formerly ATOR).  

Ever heard of TOR (aka Onion Routing Protocol) or the dark web? While this may conjure nefarious images in some heads, the point of the movement was always to create true, non-hackable, privacy - enabling free journalism and access to information even under the most authoritarian of regimes, while also protecting your individual rights to privacy as an everyday citizen.  

The issue with the original TOR model was that it lacked incentivization. Anyone has come along to change that. By deploying a DePIN model, they are rolling out an onion-routing network at least 10x faster and larger by allowing anyone to contribute their bandwidth to the network and earn crypto.
