Thank you, thank you, thank you for participating in this charity auction in support of Tor's work, to PleasrDAO for the closing bid of 500 $ETH / $2M in support of privacy online, and to ix_shells for her incredible piece of art based on the very first onion service key.

Minted now, with FND.

We collaborated with ix_shells to create a one-of-a-kind NFT: a generative art piece derived using the first onion service's private key.

This auction benefits the Tor Project, the nonprofit protecting your human right to privacy.

Tor's safety comes from diversity.

The more relays we have and the more diverse they are, the fewer attackers are in a position to harm the network.

The more diverse the use of the network, the more anonymity we have for all users.

🚨 Important: starting July 15, 2021, Tor will no longer support v2 onion services. If you are a site administrator, you must upgrade to v3 onion services. Here is the full deprecation timeline:
