How it works

There are two categories of users in the Orchid network: bandwidth users and bandwidth providers.Bandwidth users are the customers who use the VPN. Bandwidth providers are Orchid Nodes that have staked OXT tokens in order to supply their surplus internet bandwidth to users.

Bandwidth providers are required to stake OXT to give them incentive to behave responsibility. In exchange, they receive compensation in OXT tokens. The more OXT staked, the greater the chances for a reward. 

But you don’t need to be a full bandwidth provider to benefit from staking OXT. Any holder of OXT can stake some of their tokens in a pool with a full bandwidth provider.

Keep in mind

Orchid aims to provide a distributed network of trusted, high quality bandwidth providers, allowing users to access the internet privately, and instead of relying on relying on one centralized VPN service.
