Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the relay?

The Anyone Relay is the backbone of the entire privacy network. Whether run via software or our hardware, relays are the nodes that encrypt and forward users' traffic to anonymize it from both external participants and the relay itself. The performance and resilience of the Anyone Network is directly tied to the number of reliability of relays. Anyone can run a relay, contribute to the project and be incentivized for it.

What is the purpose of the NFT?

When acquiring on of the first on thousand hardware devices, obtaining an Atornaut NFT is a prerequisite. This NFT isn't merely a digital collectible; it bestows a 100% bonus on relay rewards when staked. It entitles hardware relays to a bonus pool on top of normal relay rewards. Thus, possessing an NFT isn't solely about owning a digital asset; it's about enhancing earnings within the ecosystem and the only way to get one of the first devices.

You can find more information on the NFT on the mint page: https://mint.ator.io

Do I need to lock up $ANYONE to register a relay?

How much rewards does a relay earn me?
