## What is Orchid Protocol?
Orchid operates as a decentralized bandwidth marketplace, with providers running servers that communicate with a decentralized directory on the Ethereum platform. Providers stake OXT (Orchid's native token) to compete for inbound service requests through stake-weighted random selection. Payment for services is settled using Orchid's L2/L3, employing streaming probabilistic nanopayments.

The Orchid project consists of a VPN application and a lower-level client demon, available on iOS, macOS, and Android. The VPN app includes Wireshark for traffic analysis and can create multi-hop circuits by connecting to multiple VPN servers. It supports OpenVPN, WireGuard, and the Orchid protocol. The app can purchase VPN services from the Orchid bandwidth marketplace by requesting from the directory, connecting to a provider, and making nanopayments for the service.

Orchid's L2/L3 is described as a "probabilistic rollup," where off-chain transactions resemble scratch lottery tickets. Payers create accounts and issue lottery tickets for payment, each with a configurable win rate and amount. Providers can then examine and accept the tickets for service. The scheme's transaction speed is primarily limited by the provider's ability to process the tickets.
## The Orchid dApp

The Orchid dApp serves as a user-friendly front-end hosted by Orchid Labs, enabling users to create and manage their Orchid accounts without the need to directly interact with the smart contract. The dApp acts as a wrapper for smart contract function calls and incorporates user interface elements to facilitate account management decisions.

Hosted at account.orchid.com by Orchid Labs, the dApp provides an interface for users to handle their Orchid accounts. Orchid, functioning as an EVM-compatible layer 2, facilitates the transfer of small payments. Users connect their L1 wallets on supported chains, including [Aurora](https://coinrotator.app/coin/aurora-near), Avalanche, Binance, CELO, Ethereum, [Fantom](https://coinrotator.app/coin/fantom), [Gnosis](https://coinrotator.app/coin/gnosis), [Optimism](https://coinrotator.app/coin/optimism), and Polygon.

Upon connecting a wallet, the interface becomes active for the associated Orchid account, displaying key information such as the account balance, deposit, available ticket quantity, and ticket efficiency. Users can add or withdraw funds from the selected account using the "Add" and "Withdraw" tabs located at the bottom of the interface.

## Orchid Accounts

Orchid accounts are at the core of Orchid's layer 2 system, allowing users to send tiny payments to service providers. Users can transfer funds from any layer 1 blockchain to Orchid's layer 2 using the Orchid dapp, resembling a layer 2 bridge. Orchid uniquely employs two sets of keys for account management - the funder wallet for depositing funds (layer 1) and Orchid L2 keys for spending (layer 2). The Orchid dapp requests the "Orchid Identity," generated within the app or manually. To specify an Orchid account, users must provide both the L1 and L2 addresses, along with the L1 blockchain.

## Security
The Orchid app provides protections against potential privacy concerns related to internet usage. Basic internet connections reveal both the source and destination IP addresses in transmitted data packets. Infrastructure owners, such as ISPs (Internet Service Providers), have the ability to monitor and build profiles of user internet usage, enabling them to potentially restrict content.

Commonly, ISPs, including mobile carriers, cable internet providers, WiFi hotspot operators, and internet backbone operators, can monitor and restrict internet usage, limiting access to certain websites in various countries. Orchid offers a solution for users who are dissatisfied or distrustful of their existing ISPs. By using Orchid, users can limit their ISP's knowledge to only the fact that data is being sent and received through Orchid, preventing interference with the details of internet traffic. Orchid either works entirely or is blocked by the ISP, allowing users to access the entire internet without manipulation of individual data bytes if Orchid is functional.

## Orchid Protocol Team Background
Orchid has four co-founders with backgrounds in blockchain and finance. Dr. Steven Waterhouse, the CEO, is a prominent figure in cryptocurrency and a co-founder of venture capital firm Pantera Capital. Jay Freeman, known for creating Cydia, an alternative App Store for jailbroken Apple devices, has around 30 million users. Brian J. Fox pioneered Wells Fargo's first interactive online banking system in the mid-1990s. Gustav Simonsson, a core security developer for the Ethereum network, played a key role in its original launch in 2015.
