Orchid is a decentralized, peer-to-peer marketplace for virtual private network (VPN) providers.

Orchid was first described in a white paper published in November, 2019. Orchid aims to give users back control of their privacy by allowing users to browse the internet with a decentralized, trustless VPN. It was built as a solution to the privacy concerns around centralized VPN service providers and the performance issues of Tor (“The Onion Router”), developed by The Tor Project.
