The protocol is built from the same digital DNA as the Tor browser and the chat app Signal and will be used to create new ways for folks to communicate, share files, and generally surf the web while simultaneously protecting their privacy.

I have a question, I can likely look this up but I also want to start engaging in this sub if that’s even what’s these communities are called. If it forces the use of Tor, does that endpoint not also act as a node that would balance our the speed issue for Tor by adding more processing power and bandwidth?

I think Tor is kind of stuck as it is. To really fix it’s issues, a new system needs to be built from scratch. Until then we’ll be working with patches and hacks.
