$BLANK is proud to join the @torproject’s Membership Program.

We strongly believe in Tor’s vision of helping millions of people attain private access to an uncensored web. This is why we have decided to make a donation to their efforts, joining their membership program.

Internet privacy should be accessible to everyone, always!

What is Tor Project

Mission:

To advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open-source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding.

Tor’s main product is its internet privacy browser, called Tor browser, which protects its users against tracking, surveillance, and censorship:

Tor, as a non-profit company, creates free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication by directing Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting of more than seven thousand relays.

Setting up an interconnected web of relays allows for the concealment of a user’s location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace the Internet activity to the user: this includes “visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms”.

Tor’s intended use is to protect the personal privacy of its users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities unmonitored.

Blank Wallet — Donating to Tor

Publicity to privacy industry

This graph shows the estimated number of directly connecting clients to the Tor browser. Donating to Tor allows Blank to be exposed to the Tor userbase, which is currently hovering around 2m privacy-centric users per day!

When an organization joins the Tor Project’s Membership Program, they are demonstrating their commitment to privacy online and supporting Tor’s agility and development. In return, the project becomes a closer part of the Tor Project’s community with three specific benefits: access to the Onion Advisors group to help integrate Tor into the product, inclusion in conversations, exclusive meetings with the Tor Project team, and public promotion of the membership.

Donating to Tor positions Blank within the “Green Onion Member” section of their site, exposing our brand to millions of privacy concerned users.

Supporting a project we genuinely care for

The Tor Project has a long history of security and privacy-focused developments dating back to over 30 years ago, and we want to show the privacy community our support for other privacy-focused projects. Especially the ones that are non-profit and are doing it for a purely moral objective.

We are happy about our donation and glad to be a part of a supportive relationship with Tor and other private sector organizations that support Tor’s mission!

About Blank Wallet

Blank is the most private, non-custodial Ethereum browser extension wallet.

Blank allows the user to easily interact with privacy smart contracts on Ethereum to hide the amounts and the origins of cryptocurrency held in a decentralized, non-custodial, and frictionless manner.

Blank solves the problem of privacy in crypto transactions. Each time you want to make a withdrawal, Blank will create a new wallet address for you with the amount of crypto you requested. This address originates from the smart contract, where everyone’s funds are pooled. All of this is achieved using cryptographic proofs to ensure that the user cannot be linked with the original depositing address.

With crypto transactions increasing, on-chain transaction privacy is being highly discussed to keep you safe from exposing yourself. Blank has developed a system that adds the ultimate protective layer to your crypto transactions while facilitating every function that other wallets offer.

Anyone can easily install Blank and start reaping the privacy benefits in no time at all. Besides the smart contract functionality, Blank wallet offers a higher level of privacy due to Tor integration. Upcoming functionality includes DeFi web3 integrations as well as support for Metamask Snaps Plugins to allow for seamless connectivity and usage.
