History of Orchid Labs and OXT

As Orchid launched, a total of one billion tokens were created to power the Orchid Network. The ERC-20 token, OXT, is used to incentivize a peer-to-peer network of providers to sell services to the network. Participation in the Network of distributed nodes is designed to grow over time along with the user base to support it. We believe that the power of Open Source software and communities will lead to a more robust Privacy Network. We see developers using our technologies as the foundation for new innovative ways to build future applications. Our focus continues to be on the core visions of the founding team: fostering innovation by building passionate open source communities with strong developer participation and creating a more accessible, private Internet.

Pssst! You can get privacy news delivered to your inbox.
Your privacy is important to us. We will never share your information.

Our first sales of token rights was in conjunction with the formation of Orchid Labs as a company in 2017 through a Reg D (Rule 506(b)) private placement. Fortunately, our supporters were enthusiastic about the potential of a decentralized, consumer-facing VPN network on Ethereum; Threshold (formerly DFJ), Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and other top tier firms participated in building the Orchid network. We sold rights to approximately 163 million tokens for $4.9 million.

Our last token rights sale was during Q2 of 2018 after the resources necessary to successfully execute the project became increasingly clear, in particular, the need for a top-tier technical and product team, and for best-in-class marketing. We sold rights to approximately 85 million tokens for $43 million.

Thank You

We are honored to have such an incredible community of supporters along the way. We are proud to share the Open Source products we’ve built and our contributions to the larger Web3 ecosystem that are enabling the Internet to be reclaimed by its users. We view Orchid as a portal for users to Web3 and a decentralized system designed to empower and benefit users.
