What is Orchid Protocol?

Orchid Protocol was established to create a structured peer-to-peer network known as the Orchid Market, where bandwidth sellers offer their services. Customers connect to this market to pay for bandwidth, forming proxy chains that direct them to specific online resources while maintaining privacy by separating the source and destination information.

The architecture of the Orchid Market is designed to provide strong resistance against collusion attacks among bandwidth sellers, ensuring that no single node holds complete knowledge of user identities or data flows. The project aims to address issues of monitoring and censorship on the Internet, proposing a framework for a digital marketplace that encompasses computation, storage, and bandwidth services.
