3.3 業務詳述

3.3 Business details

?

Ator 協議旨在通過分發 Ator 的代幣來認可中繼運營商對去中心化網路的有用貢獻。對於支援的協議 (如 Tor)，運營商通過 ETH 地址註冊他們的中繼，然後繼續作為中繼執行。

The purpose of the Ator agreement is to recognize the contribution of the relay operator to decentralizing the network through the distribution of Ator’s tokens. For support agreements (e.g. Tor), the operator registers their relays through the ETH address and continues to run as a relay.

然後， 中繼運營商將能夠通過發布到 Arweave 的去中心化指標來檢視他們對網路的貢獻，並相應地獲得 Ator 認可獎勵。 Ator 在 Arweave 上分發，並由 ETH 區塊鏈上的封存代幣支援，使用者隨後可以選擇提取到他們的 ETH 錢包中。

Then, the relay operator will be able to view their contributions to the Internet by issuing decentralizing markers to Arweave and, accordingly, be rewarded by Ator on Arweave, supported by storage coins on the ETH chain, which users can then choose to extract from their ETH wallets.

1） Tor 網路

1) Tor Network

要理解 Ator 協議，首先理解 Tor 網路。Tor， 即洋蔥路由器的簡稱， 是一種用於網際網路匿名通訊的軟體。它通過在全球範圍內的一系列伺服器 (節點) 之間以難以追蹤的方式路由網際網路流量來實現。當使用者連線到 Tor 時，他們的資料會被加密，然後通過所選的一系列 Tor 節點傳遞，每個節點都會解密資料的一層，以暴露下一節點的地址。這個過程會一直持續到資料到達最終目的地。

Tor, the short name of the onion router, is a software for anonymous communication on the Internet. It is implemented by hard-to-trace access to Internet traffic between a series of servers (nodes) around the globe. When users connect to Tor, their data is encrypted, and through a series of Tor node transmissions, each node is declassified to expose the next node. This process will continue until the data reaches its final destination.

鏈中的每個節點隻知道前一個和後一個節點的地址，因此對任何中間對手來說，非常難以追蹤資料回到源點。此外，Tor 網路上提供服務的方式也進一步增強了使用者的匿名性，即某些網站和服務隻能通過 Tor 網路訪問。這在本質上允許使用者和服務在兩端都受益於 Tor。這些服務使用不同的路由機制，其中網站的地址被加密並通過幾個節點傳遞，才到達目的地，這使得定位託管網站的伺服器變得非常困難。下圖是 Tor 網路的網路檢視。

Each node in the chain only knows the address of the previous and the latter node, so it is very difficult for any mid-level counterpart to trace the data back to the source. Moreover, the way Tor provides services on the Internet has further enhanced the anonymity of users, i.e. some websites and services have access to Tor. This allows users and services to benefit Tor at both ends of the chain. These services use different routers, where sites are encrypted and transmitted via several nodes to reach their destination, which makes it very difficult to locate the server of the site.

然而，Tor 網路也存在一些缺點，這些缺點可以通過 Ator 協議來解決。例如，網際網路服務提供商仍然可以通過使用者的請求時間和頻率來抓取資料，從而可能推斷使用者的身份。另外，目前 Tor 網路只有大約 6000 個節點，這意味著節點數量有限，可能導致效能問題和可拓展性問題，尤其當面對數以百萬計的使用者需求時，網路可能會變得不夠穩定和高效。

There are, however, a number of flaws in Tor, which can be addressed through the Actor agreement. For example, Internet service providers can still capture data through the time and frequency of user requests, which may result in the identification of users. In addition, the Tor network currently has about 6000 nodes, which means a limited number of nodes that may lead to problems of effectiveness and accessibility, especially when faced with the needs of millions of users.

Ator 協議通過中繼機制和裝置優化解決了這些可拓展性問題。中繼機制允許更多的節點參與網路，從而提高了網路的容量和效能。而裝置的優化則有助於降低節點執行的資源消耗，使得更多節點可以支撐更多使用者的訪問需求。

The system allows more nodes to participate in the network, which in turn improves its capacity and effectiveness. The improvement of the device helps to reduce the consumption of resources for nodes to run, allowing more nodes to sustain more users.

綜上所述，Ator 協議旨在解決 Tor 網路的一些缺點，並提供更可靠和可擴充套件的匿名通訊解決方案，以滿足不斷增長的使用者隱私需求。

As mentioned above, the Ator agreement aims to address some of the shortcomings of the Tor network and to provide more reliable and expanded packages of anonymous communication solutions to meet the privacy needs of growing users.

2) 中繼節點（Relay）：通過 Ator 獲取回報

2) Synthetic node (Relay): Retrieval via Ator

Ator 通過鏈上獎勵機制增強了 Tor 網路。作為 Tor 中繼節點參與者，你可以貢獻網際網路匿名性，並通過線上時間證明協議獲取 Ator 的代幣回報。

As a Tor relay node participant, you can contribute to the online anonymity of the network and access Astor’s coins through online proof of time.

• 提升網路模糊性

Ator 的目標是增加活躍 Tor 中繼節點數量，加強網路能力，以容納更大的使用者流量。

The goal of Actor is to increase the number of active Tor spin-nodes and enhance network capabilities to accommodate greater user flows.

• 線上時間證明

Tor 中繼節點，包括 Ator 自己的硬體，都可以通過加密和傳輸資料包的貢獻獲得 Ator 代幣獎勵。

Tor relay nodes, including Ator's own hardware, can be rewarded by the contribution of encrypting and transferring data packs.

• 端到端隱私保護

中繼節點註冊特意優化了匿名性。通過代理註冊方式，可以實現無需 gas 費的註冊，不會洩露使用者 IP。

The registration of a relay node specifically favours anonymity. By proxy registration, you can obtain a non-requireable gas log and do not reveal the user's IP.

• 中繼節點註冊

中繼節點所有者可以註冊加入 Ator 協議。裝置通過證明使用者同時擁有以太坊金鑰對和 Tor 金鑰對來註冊網路。

The serial node owner can register to add to the Ator agreement. The device is able to prove that the user has a web-based registration by using the Tetsu key pair and the Tor key pair at the same time.

使用主離線金鑰可以實現使用者和網路之間的安全通訊系統。

The main offline key is used to implement a secure communication system between the user and the network.

• 中繼貢獻評定

利用線上時間證明系統，網路會根據中繼的線上穩定時間長短，以 Ator 代幣的形式對其進行貢獻獎勵。獎勵根據中繼實際線上時間計算和分配，避免隻獎勵大型中繼的情況。

Using the online time proof system, the network provides incentives in the form of an Ator currency, based on the relay’s online stability for a short period of time. The rewards are calculated and distributed on the basis of the relay’s online time calculation and distribution, avoiding a single reward for large relays.

專案方還開發了額外激勵機制，通過設定獨立的獎勵池，對橋接中繼、出口中繼以及特定地區的中繼給予額外獎勵。

The project also developed an extra incentive scheme to provide extra incentives for bridge relays, export relays, and district-specific relays by setting up an independent incentive pool.

• 硬體

Ator 中繼是預配置的硬體，可以為 Tor 提供中繼服務並獲得 Ator 認可，無需使用者自行配置。

The Ator relay is a pre-configured hardware that provides a relay service for Tor and is recognized by the Ator without the user's own configuration.

Ator 路由器是一個熱點，可以讓消費類裝置連線到 Tor。

The Ator router is a hotspot that connects consumer devices to Tor.

Ator 的代幣將在整個協議中得到廣泛應用，作為中繼註冊的前置條件，也是購買硬體的主要支付方式。Tor 可以兌換為 Ator 隱藏服務，包括通過 Tor-Arweave 整合提供的去中心化網站託管，以及區塊鏈交易路由。

Ator’s currency will be widely used throughout the agreement as a prefix to its registration, and as the main payment method for buying hardware. Tor can switch to Ator’s hidden services, including decentralised web hosting through Tor-Arweave integration, and chain trading routes.

Ator 代幣可用於治理和協議相關的投票，也可以用來支付相關提案費用.

Actor coins can be used for governance and negotiation-related voting, or to cover the costs of related proposals.

3） 線上時間證明 (Proof-of-Uptime)

Proof-of-Uptime

線上時間是指中繼節點持續執行且可以被訪問的時間長度。線上時間越長表示該中繼節點穩定可靠，沒有頻繁當機。

Online time is the length of time that a relay node is running and can be interviewed. The longer it is online, the more reliable the node is, the less frequent it is.

線上時間對 Tor 網路來說是一個重要指標。客戶端會優先選擇線上時間長的中繼來建立連線，因為這意味著節點更穩定。目錄伺服器也會根據中繼的線上時間來給予 「穩定」 等標誌，這會影響到客戶端的選擇。

Online time is an important indicator for the Tor network. Clients first select long-term relays on the line to create connections, because this means that nodes are more stable. The directory server also gives "stabilized" labels depending on the relay time on the line, which affects the client's choice.

建議使用中繼的共識權重作為線上時間證明的標準。ATOR 系統使用目錄權威（Directory authorities）來收集有關節點的資訊，例如它們的 IP 地址、公鑰和頻寬容量。目錄權威使用這些資訊來建立一個 「網路共識」 文件，其中包含所有已知節點的列表以及它們的共識權重。共識權重受多種因素的影響，包括節點的頻寬容量、線上時間和出口策略等。節點的共識權重越高，它在網路中的地位就越高，因此被選中的概率也就越大。具體來說，這些因素包括：

The ACAT system uses the directory authority to collect information about nodes, such as their IP addresses, public keys and bandwidth. The directory authority uses this information to create a "network consensus" document, which contains lists of all known nodes and the weight of their rights. It is influenced by a variety of factors, including the bandwidth of the nodes, online time, and export strategies.

1. 頻寬容量：頻寬越大，權重越高，因為可以處理更多流量。

1. Frequency capacity: The greater the frequency, the higher the authority, as more traffic can be handled.

2. 線上時間：線上時間越長，權重越高。

2. Online time: the longer the online time, the higher the power.

3. 出口策略：出口策略越寬鬆，允許的流量越多，權重越高。

3. Export strategy: The easier the export strategy, the more flow allowed, the higher the weight of power.

目錄伺服器會將所有中繼的資訊和權重發布在共識文件中。可以根據中繼的共識權重大小來判斷其線上時間貢獻，作為發放獎勵的依據。

The directory server will redistribute all relay information and rights in a common document.

4. 效能測量：目錄權威在分配一致性權重時可能會考慮中繼的延遲、可靠性和其他指標。

4. Measurement of effectiveness: Directory authority may take into account subsequent delay, reliability and other indications when assigning consistency weights.

利用這些資訊，可以為當前的正常執行時間機制設定一個最低閾值。還需要注意的是，目錄權威協議是集中式的。而 ATOR 採取了這種方法，建立了一種替代的分散式解決方案。

Using this information, a minimum value can be set for the normal running of the current time frame. It is also important to note that the catalogue authority agreement is centralized. ACAT has adopted this approach, creating an alternative, decentralized solution.

4） 註冊（操作方面）

Register (operational)

• 支援多種簽名方式進行認證

為了讓中繼節點與 ETH 錢包建立聯絡，使該錢包可以根據中繼節點的貢獻獲得 Ator 獎勵， 這需要一種雙重簽名系統。

In order to connect the seminal node to the ETH wallet, the wallet can be rewarded by the Ator on the basis of the contribution of the node, which requires a dual signature system.

• ETH 錢包簽名宣告中繼所有權

官網註冊頁面允許 ETH 錢包進行簽名， 表示加入該協議並宣告對特定中繼指紋的所有權。之後，該宣告將由 Ator 或得到授權的驗證實體 (預言機) 進行驗證。重要的是， 註冊頁面將託管在去中心化儲存網路上， 防止 Ator 或任何單一託管商獲取註冊使用者的 IP 地址。此外，註冊完全免費。

The registration page allows the ETH wallet to be signed, indicating that it joins the agreement and declares all rights in respect of a specific secondary fingerprint. After that, the announcement will be verified by Ator or a licensed verification entity (forecast machine). Importantly, the registration page will be commissioned on the decentralised storage network to prevent Ator or any single subscriber from accessing the IP address of the registered user. Moreover, the registration will be completely free of charge.

• 中繼廣播 ETH 錢包地址

作為註冊協議的一部分， 中繼節點需要在資料包中包含 Ator 協議頂級和註冊該中繼的 ETH 錢包地址，這樣才能持續獲得 Ator 獎勵。Ator 將分析原始指標資料來驗證宣告。

As part of the registration agreement, the relay node needs to include in the data package the top of the Ator agreement and the subsequent ETH address of the registered wallet, so that it can continue to receive the Ator reward. Ator will analyze the original indicator data to verify the announcement.

5） 驗證

5) Verify

已註冊的中繼節點可以根據它對網路做出的貢獻獲得 Ator 獎勵。伺服器會收集中繼節點的資料，然後記錄到區塊鏈上，作為判斷的依據。之後智慧合約會根據這些資料發放 Ator 獎勵。

Registered relay nodes can be rewarded for their contributions to the Internet. The server collects data on the node and then records it on the chain as a basis for its determination.

• 共識權重

對於 Tor 網路， 使用已有的共識權重來衡量中繼節點的貢獻大小。共識權重會考慮節點的頻寬等因素。

For the Tor network, you can re-measure the contribution of the intermediate nodes using the existing consensus rights. The consensus weights take into account factors such as the frequency of the nodes.

• Arweave 資料

收集到的中繼節點資料會即時發布到 Arweave 的區塊鏈儲存上。這些資料可以讓智慧合約讀取， 以確定獎勵分配。

The collected relay node data will be distributed immediately to Arweave's chain. These data can be read by Wisdom in order to determine the distribution of rewards.

• Smartweave 預言機

在一定時間內 (如一天) 要分配的 Ator 獎勵，會根據上次閱讀資料和當前資料的時間間隔劃分。比如間隔了 70 分鐘，則按 70/(24*60) 的比例分配原定的日獎勵量。一個 $ATOR 然後會在 Smartweave 上分配， ETH 合約可以通過 redstone 預言機讀取。

In a given time (as in the case of a day) the Ator prize will be distributed according to the time-separation between the last reading of the data and the current data. For example, after 70 minutes, the original daily reward will be allocated at the rate of 70/(24*60). One $ATOR will then be distributed on Smartway, and the ETH contract will be read through the redstone prophecy.

總體來說，中繼節點資料會記錄在鏈上， 智慧合約根據這些資料驗證並發放 Ator 獎勵給節點。

In summary, the relay node data will be recorded on the chain, and the Wisdom agreement will verify and release the Ator reward to the node on the basis of these data.

3.4 行業空間及潛力

3.4 Business space and potential

?

3.4.1 分類

3.4.1 Category

隱私賽道主要劃分為隱私計算網路、隱私交易網路、隱私應用、隱私幣等四大板塊。

The private track is divided into four main sections, namely, privacy accounting networks, privacy trading networks, privacy applications, and privacy currency.

• 隱私交易協議

隱私交易網路主要針對鏈上交易資料（持有或交易的幣種型別與數量）進行隱私化處理，通過零知識證明等技術原生支援使用者進行隱私交易，無需使用 Tornado Cash 等工具，就可以保證自己的隱私資料不會被外界檢視，同時支援在該協議開發更多型別的隱私應用。

The private transaction network deals in private with chain transactions (the currency type and quantity of which is held or traded) and conducts private transactions with technology-support users, such as zero knowledge certification, without the need to use tools such as Tornado Cash, to ensure that their privacy information is not subject to external scrutiny, while also supporting the development of more types of privacy applications in the agreement.

• 隱私計算協議

隱私計算協議主要從資料的產生、收集、儲存、分析、利用、銷毀等環節對隱私進行保護，除了常見的 DeFi、NFT 等場景外，還計劃與大資料和 AI 行業進行深度結合。

In addition to the usual deFi, NFT and other scenes, privacy accounting agreements are designed to provide protection of privacy from data generation, collection, storage, analysis, use, destruction and so on, in-depth integration with big data and the AI industry is also planned.

與其他形式的隱私專案相比，隱私計算協議是一種更底層的基礎設施，具體的交易資訊（幣種型別與數量等）往往可以通過區塊瀏覽器公開檢視，但更強呼叫戶使用資料的隱私。目前主要的隱私技術包括零知識證明、安全多方計算、基於現代密碼學的學習、可信執行環境（TEE）等。

In contrast to other forms of private projects, privacy accounting agreements are a much lower-level infrastructure, where specific transaction information (currency type and quantity, etc.) is often made publicly available through block browsers, but the private use of data is much stronger. The main private technologies are currently zero knowledge certificates, security multi-purpose calculations, learning based on modern passwords, credible enforcement environments, etc.

• 隱私應用

隱私應用是指建立在 Layer1 或 Layer2 協議之上，為使用者或 DApp 提供不同應用場景隱私保護功能的應用，例如交易、支付、郵件等。

Privacy refers to applications that are based on the Layer1 or Layer2 agreements and provide different applications for the user or DApp for privacy protection, such as transactions, payments, e-mails, etc.

• 隱私幣

隱私幣是指原生支援隱私性的加密貨幣，外界無法檢視交易雙方的具體交易型別、金額等資訊，通常不支援智慧合約及相關應用，最早在 2014 年就有相關專案誕生。

The private currency refers to the original encrypted currency that supports privacy, which cannot be viewed by the outside world as a specific transaction type, value, etc. of both parties to the transaction, and which does not normally support intellectual contracts and related applications, with the project being born in 2014 at the earliest.

目前，隱私幣普遍發展狀況一般，使用者量、交易量都大幅小於智慧合約平臺、DeFi 等賽道專案。

At present, the development of private currency is common and the number of users and transactions is significantly lower than the number of track projects such as the Smart Pact and the DeFi.

3.4.2 市場規模

3.4.2 Market size

?

監管機構正在積極監管集中化的加密貨幣市場；分析公司未經許可擁有和使用使用者的資料；關於隱私幣監管和 Tornado Cash 制裁是 Web3 隱私需要被倡導的例子。

Supervisory bodies are actively overseeing the centralized market for encrypted currency; analysing data on users that companies are not authorized to own and use; and the issue of privacy custody and Tornado Cash sanctions is an example of how the privacy needs of Web3 are being promoted.

根據 Github 上的 Web3privacy 年報稱，超過 300 個專案正在構建隱私解決方案， 承諾在 2022 年向專案和生態系統提供 10 億美元以上的資金， 隱私應用程式在 Google Play 上下載超過 1.1 億次，市場上目前有 300 多個職位空缺， Zcash 總地址數量為 727，681 個， 來自 177 個國家的 4，300 份貢獻參與了 Manta Network 的可信設定， 下圖為不同公鏈的生態系統對隱私進行押注的情況。

According to the Web3privancy annual report on Github, more than 300 projects are in the process of developing privacy solutions, committing more than US$ 1 billion in 2022 to project and ecosystem systems, privacy applications have been uploaded over 110 million times on Google Play, there are currently more than 300 job openings in the market, and the total number of Zcash addresses is 727,681, with 4,300 contributors from 177 countries participating in the credible configuration of Manta Network, which shows how different public chain systems are betting on privacy.

風險投資家對隱私領域表現出濃厚的興趣。Aleo2022 年總共籌集了 2.7 億美元，而像 Aztec 或 Espresso Systems 這樣的專案即使在市場不景氣的情況下也成功完成了新一輪融資。去年，NYM 和 Secret Network 宣佈了合作夥伴的承諾，支援隱私領域開發者。精明的投資者深知，生態系統的強大將吸引更多的零售投資者和實用代幣使用者參與其中。報告中稱，共有 13 億美元的風險投資和零售投資者共同支援了隱私技術的發展。

Adventure investors showed a strong interest in privacy. Aleo raised $270 million in 2022, while projects like Aztec or Espresso Systems successfully completed a new round of investments, even in the face of market recession. Last year, NYM and Secret Network announced the commitment of their partners to support private domain developers.

然而，在過去一年內，整個 Web3 投資領域中，隱私為中心的投資在整體中仍扮演著相對較小的角色 – 大約佔 4-5% 左右。

In the past year, however, private investment in the entire Web3 investment area has continued to play a relatively minor role in the overall community - around 4 to 5 per cent.

除了去年的年報資料，再觀察目前最新的資料，可以發現當前隱私賽道代幣的總市值約為 54.5 億美元，日交易量約為 2.1 億美元。然而，儘管整個隱私賽道的市值較大，但目前漲幅最高的三個代幣 Dynex、Secret、Circuits of Value 的最大漲幅僅為 9.3%。這顯示出隱私賽道目前市場的相對平穩態勢，投資者需要認識到市場可能處於相對低迷期，同時需要謹慎評估投資風險和專案潛力。

In addition to last year’s annual reports, a review of the current up-to-date data reveals that the total market value of the former private track tokens is about US$ 54.50 billion, and the daily turnover is about US$ 2.1 billion. However, despite the larger market value of the entire private track, the largest increase in the current three generation is only 9.3 per cent for Dynex, Secret, Circuits of Value, which is an indication of the current level of stability in the market, requiring investors to recognize that the market may be in a period of dissipation and at the same time be careful to evaluate investment risks and expertise.

運營資料

running data

根據官網資料顯示，目前 Ator 專案的總使用人數為 284 人，已驗證的中繼節點有 449 個，活躍的中繼節點有 161 個。同時，在區塊鏈網路上，Ator 節點之間的實際通訊頻寬達到 1660.283MiB/s。這一資料顯示了 Ator 在區塊鏈節點中的配置非常高，相較於其他主流公鏈節點如 Cosmos、波卡等，其網路部署優化能力表現優異。這樣的高頻寬配置為 Ator 專案提供了更強大的網路效能，為使用者提供更加高效和穩定的匿名通訊體驗。

According to official data, the total number of users of the Ator project is currently 284, with 449 proven and 161 active relay nodes. At the same time, on the sector chain network, the actual communication between the Ator node reaches 1660.283 MiB/s. This data shows that Ator has a very high configuration in the sector node, compared to other mainstream public chain nodes, such as Cosmos, Boca, which has excellent Internet deployment capabilities. This high-frequency configuration provides a stronger network for the Ator project and provides users with more efficient and stable anonymous communication experience.

社媒資料

根據 Github 的資料顯示，目前 $Ator 專案的關注人數為 12 人，主要貢獻者有 4 人。然而，需要注意的是程式碼提交並不是很頻繁，主要活躍期為上線後的 4-5 月之間。在該時期，程式碼提交次數達到了最高峰，最多一天有 21 次提交。這表明專案團隊在初期階段有著積極的開發活動，但隨後的提交頻率有所減少。

According to Github, the current number of people of interest in the $Ator project is 12, with 4 major contributors. It is important to note, however, that the code submission is not very frequent, with the main active period being between April and May. At that time, the number of code submissions reached its peak, with 21 submissions a day at the most. This indicates that the team is active in the initial stages, but that the frequency of submission has decreased.

對於投資者來說，Github 上的活躍度和程式碼提交頻率也是重要的參考指標之一。一個活躍的專案程式碼庫通常意味著團隊在不斷進行改進和更新，而較少的提交可能表明開發進度相對較慢。

For investors, the activity and frequency of code submissions on Github is also one of the important references. A live project code library usually means that teams are constantly changing and updating, while fewer submissions may indicate that development progress is relatively slow.

3.6 專案競爭格局

3.6 Project Competition Format

?

隱私賽道主要劃分為隱私計算網路、隱私交易網路、隱私應用、隱私幣等四大板塊。Ator 屬於隱私計算網路這個分類。

The private track is divided into four main sections: the private computing network, the private trading network, the privacy application, and the private currency.

Ator 屬於隱私計算網路的節點激勵層，相當於一個可拓展的區塊鏈解決方案。接下來會介紹兩個節點激勵的拓展解決方案。

Ator is a node incentive for the privacy of the network, which is equivalent to an extension of the chain solution.

專案介紹

Project Introduction

• Web MIXes

Web MIXes 是一個基於 MIX 技術的匿名通訊系統，由 Berthold 等人提出。MIX 是一種隱私保護技術，通過混淆和延遲訊息傳輸路徑來隱藏使用者的身份和通訊內容。在 Web MIXes 中，使用者需要購買代幣才能使用該網路，這種基於代幣的激勵機制有助於維持網路的可持續性和穩定性。代幣可以在不同的 MIX 伺服器之間轉移，並且具有有效期限。除了基本的匿名通訊功能，Web MIXes 還提供一些額外的功能，如內容過濾和快取。然而，由於其實現和部署不夠清晰，並缺乏公開的評估結果，Web MIXes 的實際效果和安全性尚不明確。

Web MiIXes is an anonymous communication system based on MIX technology, proposed by Berthold et al. MIX is a private protection technique that hides user identities and communications by confusing and delaying communication path. In Web MiIXes, users need to buy money to use the network. This incentive system based on intergenerational money helps to maintain the continuity and stability of the network.

• BitTorrent

BitTorrent 是一個著名的點對點檔案共享網路，由 Bram Cohen 提出。它使用一種基於比特幣（Bitcoin）的激勵機制，允許使用者使用比特幣來支付或接收檔案傳輸的費用。BitTorrent 的激勵機制旨在提高檔案共享的效率和公平性，並防止自私或作弊的行為。然而，BitTorrent 並不是一個匿名通訊網路，使用者的 IP 地址和傳輸內容都可能被暴露或監控。它主要關註文件共享和傳輸的高效性，而對使用者的身份和隱私保護並未提供特別的措施。

BitTorrent is a well-known point-to-point file-sharing network, proposed by Bram Cohen. It uses an incentive system based on Bitcoin that allows users to use bitcoin to pay for or receive the costs of file transfer. BitTorrent’s incentive system aims to improve the efficiency and fairness of file sharing and to prevent selfish or cheating. However, BitTorrent is not an anonymous communication network, and the IP address and transmission content of users may be exposed or monitored.

*Ator 合約最初保留了 25% 的代幣供應量，並且在募資期間，使用者沒有支付任何稅費，但合約會根據成交量的比例進行賣出，模擬類似稅收的效果。這樣籌集到的資金用於協議和硬體的開發。募資期已於 2023 年 5 月結束。

*Ator’s contract initially retained 25% of the currency supply, and during the fund-raising period, the user did not pay any taxes, but the joint date was sold in proportion to the volume of the transaction, simulating the effects of the tax collection. The funds so raised were used for negotiations and hardware development. The fund-raising period ended in May 2023.

3.7.2 代幣價值捕獲

3.7.2 Generation value capture

?

$ATOR ERC20 代幣在 Ator 專案的發展過程中將發揮多個關鍵作用：

US$ATOR ERC20 is going to play a number of key roles in the development of the Ator project:

首先，$ATOR 代幣將促進 Ator Proof-of-Uptime 協議的實施；註冊的中繼將獲得以它作為激勵。因此，$ATOR 代幣將為參與中繼做出貢獻的人提供認可的代幣化方式。

First, the $ATOR currency will be promoted to the implementation of the Ator Proof-of-Upttime agreement; it will be used as an incentive for registration. The $ATOR currency will therefore provide a recognized monetization for those who contribute to the succession.

在 Uniswap 自動做市（AMM）上流通的 $ATOR 代幣使投資者能夠為整個協議分配市場價值，並持有其發展和影響力的股份。

The $ATOR coin that circulates on Uniswap automatically enables investors to allocate market value to the entire agreement and hold shares in its development and influence.

$ATOR 持有者將有權進入白名單並提前獲得專案方的自定義硬體的首次推出。代幣可以用來兌換此硬體（請參閱路線圖）。

The $ATOR holder will have the right to enter the white list and get the project’s self-defined hardware first rolled out in advance.

$ATOR ERC20 合約專門用於促進限時募資；合約根據交易量以嚴格比例互換代幣，直到硬編碼限制，不收取買賣方的交易手續費。這允許 Ator 協議在沒有風險資本集中化的情況下籌集資金用於發展（請參閱分配）。

US$ATOR ERC20 is specifically used to raise funds for promotion time; the contract swaps currencies at a strict scale, depending on the volume of the transaction, until the hard code is limited and the buyer’s transaction fee is not charged. This allows the Ator agreement to raise funds for development without risk capital concentration (see distribution).

作為預先存在的高度分散的以太坊區塊鏈上的代幣，而不是獨立區塊鏈，可以實現快速採用和註冊的便利性。

As a currency on a pre-existing, highly dispersed Ether district chain, rather than a stand-alone chain, fast-track access and registration can be achieved.

3.7.3 代幣核心需求方

3.7.3 Key demand side of the coin

?

1. 中繼節點運營者：$ATOR 代幣將促進 Ator Proof-of-Uptime 協議的實施，並為註冊的中繼節點提供激勵。中繼節點運營者將通過獲得 $ATOR 代幣獎勵，從而為網路的穩定性和安全性做出貢獻。

4.1 核心問題

4.1 Core issues

?

專案是否具備牢靠的競爭優勢？這種競爭優勢來自哪裡？

Does the strong project have a strong competitive advantage? Where does this competitive advantage come from?

1）強調隱私保護和匿名通訊：Ator 專案旨在解決 Tor 網路面臨的挑戰，並促進網際網路使用者的主流採用。它強調網際網路監控、雲端計算和大資料處理對隱私和匿名性的威脅。通過提供匿名通訊和保護線上隱私的工具，Ator 專案在隱私保護和匿名性方面具有競爭優勢。

1) Highlighting privacy protection and anonymous communication: The Ator project aims to address the challenges facing Tor and to promote mainstream Internet users. It highlights the threats to privacy and anonymity posed by Internet surveillance, cloud computing, and big data. By providing anonymous communication and protection tools for online privacy, the Ator project competes for privacy protection and anonymity.

2）基於區塊鏈技術：Ator 專案利用區塊鏈技術建立了一個更具彈性的 Tor 基礎設施，並採用 Ator 貨幣來獎勵貢獻者。這種基於區塊鏈的分散式系統為 Tor 網路提供了可靠性，同時以匿名和公平的方式獎勵參與者。

2) On the basis of block-link technology: The Ator project built a more resilient Tor infrastructure using block-chain technology, and adopted Ator currency to reward contributors. This decentralized system, based on the chain, provides credibility to the Tor network, and rewards participants anonymously and fairly.

3）持續發展和可持續性：文件中討論了 Ator 專案的實施和機制，以確保協議的可持續性。這涉及到 $ATOR 貨幣流通供應的穩定性激勵機制的設計。該專案還關注擴大與 Tor 中繼的採用和適應性。

3) Continuing development and sustainability: The application and mechanism of the Ator project was discussed in order to ensure continuity of the agreement. This involves the design of a stable and characterization incentive system for the supply of US$ATOR currency flows. The project is also concerned with expanding the use and adaptation of Tor relays.

專案在運營上的主要變數因素是什麼？這種因素是否容易量化和衡量？

What are the main variables in the operation of the project? Is it easy to quantify and measure them?

這個專案在運營上的主要變數因素是 「可靠性」 和 「防禦能力」。

The main variables in the operation of the project are "reliability" and "defense capability".

可靠性是指中繼節點的連續執行時間以及其對 Tor 網路的貢獻。

Reliability refers to the running time of the relay node and its contribution to the Tor network.

防禦能力是指中繼節點對 DDoS 攻擊等威脅的抵禦能力。

Defensive capability refers to the ability to counter threats such as DDoS attacks at a relay node.

這些因素能夠通過 「執行時間」 的指標來量化和衡量，比如中繼節點的連續線上時間（Uptime）。通過監測和記錄中繼節點的線上時間，可以評估其可靠性，並根據線上時間的長短來分配權重和獎勵。此外，文件中還提到了其他衡量中繼節點的因素，如流量承載能力、效能指標等。

These factors can be quantified and measured through the "execution time" markers, such as UPtime for relay nodes. By monitoring and recording the online time for relay nodes, they can evaluate their reliability and allocate weights and rewards according to the length of time on the line.

因此，這些因素是可以被量化和衡量的，並且可以作為專案運營的主要指標。

As a result, these factors can be quantified and measured and can serve as the main indicator for the operation of the project.

4.2 主要風險

4.2 Main risks

?

這個專案有幾個風險。首先，技術上 Tor 網路本身就面臨著一些挑戰，比如節點不足、容易遭受 DDoS 攻擊以及缺乏個人執行節點的激勵。這些問題可能會對 Ator 協議的實施和可行性造成一定的困擾和風險。

First, the techno-Tor network itself faces challenges, such as insufficient nodes, vulnerability to DDoS attacks, and a lack of personal incentives to execute nodes. These problems may cause some disruption and risk to the implementation and viability of the Ator agreement.

其次，雖然 Ator 協議使用了區塊鏈技術和 Ator 貨幣來提供更強大的 Tor 基礎設施並獎勵貢獻者，但這也帶來了一些風險。例如，由於區塊鏈技術的效能限制，可能會出現效能瓶頸和擴充套件性問題。此外，區塊鏈技術本身也可能面臨安全性和隱私性方面的挑戰。

Second, while Actor agreed to use the sector chain technology and the Ator currency to provide a stronger Tor base and to reward contributors, it also posed a number of risks. For example, limited effectiveness of the sector chain technology could lead to problems of efficiency necks and extension packages. Moreover, the sector chain technology itself could face security and privacy challenges.

另外，該專案還需要解決由於中心化儲存機構而引發的安全風險。 Ator 協議中的獎勵將由中心化的機構發放和儲存，而不是由使用者直接擁有和控製。這可能會使中心化機構成為攻擊的目標，並可能導致信任和安全性的問題。

Moreover, the project needs to address the security risks posed by central storage institutions. The incentives in the Actor agreement will be released and saved by centralized institutions, rather than directly owned and controlled by users.

最後，由於該專案處於不斷發展和演變的過程中，最終的程式碼和實施可能與當前白皮書中的描述有所不同。因此，專案的實際可行性和風險可能會取決於其最終的實施和部署。

Finally, because the project is in the process of continuous development and evolution, the final code and application may be different from what was described in the former white paper. Therefore, the practical feasibility and risks of the project may depend on its ultimate implementation and deployment.

綜上所述，Ator 專案面臨著 Tor 網路本身的挑戰、區塊鏈技術的限制和安全性問題以及集中化儲存機構的風險。

According to the above, the Ator project faces challenges to the Tor network itself, limitations and security problems in the sector chain technology, and the risks of centralized storage structures.
