Introducing our Relay

The Torium Protocol Relay is a low-power, autonomous computing device built to run as a node in a number of distributed privacy protocols. It is designed to function seamlessly with the Torium Protocol, empowering non-technical users to contribute to global anonymity and gain Torium Protocol recognition tokens. Currently in active development, we are on track to begin preorder from Q4 2023.

While most internet relay protocols can be operated on from a user’s personal computer, this often becomes highly wasteful and can drain computing power if the device is also used on a day-to-day basis. The Torium Protocol Relay can act as a dedicated, low-power relay device and is configurable with little to no technical knowledge. The relay hardware will have the modular capacity to incorporate more networks in the future (such as Nostr) and gives users access to downloadable firmware updates that relate to the relay and metrics from our team.
