Worried about the future of the internet? Tor launches crypto-powered fundraising initiative to secure internet freedoms — and your vote matters more than your wallet size
The Tor Project and Funding the Commons have initiated a Web3-native crowdfunding campaign to support internet freedom technologies. This initiative allows individuals to donate cryptocurrencies to ten selected nonprofit projects until June 18, 2026. The campaign employs a quadratic funding model to prioritize community support over the size of individual donations.
- ▪The initiative aims to support ten crucial nonprofit projects focused on privacy and censorship circumvention.
- ▪Donations can be made using various cryptocurrencies until June 18, 2026.
- ▪The quadratic funding model amplifies funding based on the number of unique contributors rather than the total amount raised.
