The Tor Project

The first vertical festival for human flourishing in the age of AI. 🌸💻 This weekend, 1,000+ researchers, builders, founders, funders, and artists are taking over @frontiertower in SF for 36 hours of programming, experimentation, and collective imagination across AI governance, open-source infrastructure, and coordination systems. World-class speakers, hands-on workshops, an overnight hackathon, live public goods funding experiments, a community biolab, a 4,000 sq ft maker lab, immersive art installations, and live music into the night—all across 16 floors of one building. 🌐 Conference & hackathon are supported by @protocollabs @elevenlabs @NEARProtocol @FilFoundation @OctantApp @hypercerts @humntech @bittensor @solana @activeloop @vesslai @velda_io @NomadicML @unbrowse & more. In partnership with @torproject @internetarchive @foresightinst @AAI_Society @ethereumsf @UNICEFinnovate @metagov_project @founding Participate: luma.com/ftc-sf-2026 Hack: luma.com/ftchack-sf-2026

We are excited to announce that Roger Dingledine, founder of TOR, is returning to the FOSSASIA Summit 2026 in Bangkok! See you there! @torproject summit.fossasia.org

And don't miss @RogerDingledine at @fossasia to learn more about "Why Privacy Infrastructure Still Matters in the Age of AI" and join his AMA session and Snowflake workshop. 🎟️🗓️ eventyay.com/e/88882f3e/sch…

The web’s security model has long relied on trusting the server. WEBCAT is an attempt to change that. Please help test it if you can. Your feedback at this early stage of development is extremely valuable. Excited to collaborate with @FreedomofPress & @SecureDrop

🧵 @torproject avanza hacia la criptografía postcuántica: Los primeros nodos de la red Tor comenzaron a soportar Post-Quantum Cryptography (≈ 32 %). Esto es posible a partir de la versión 0.4.8.17 (junio 2025), en combinación con OpenSSL 3.5.0. forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays-p…

Cypherpunk memories: our Bangkok Congress with digital rights legends @RogerDingledine from @torproject & @kurtopsahl from @FilFoundation & ex-@EFF

Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3 value-aligned speaker update: Curatorial note: we assemble speakers on intersection between digital rights, FOSS, decentralisation & cryptography. They propose practical solutions for global challenges from polarisation in social media to raise of dictatorships. Challenge internet shutdowns, abuse of digital identity, & attacks on encryption. With proven track record from @EFF to @brave. Last, but not least, they represent human-centric, proactive and caring culture of digital activism. Beyond transactional relations. Towards plurality of internet freedoms. Welcome to Mumbai! @kurtopsahl x @FilFoundation for long-lasting defence of encryption in EFF, exceptional human qualities and bridging gap betwen old & new cypherpunks @Isa x @torproject for exceptional work on harmonizing network-level privacy and digital rights @ghappour x flashbots for matching digital rights & web3 culture. Being a real representative of privacy-first, encryption-centric narrative across borders & ecosystems. @therealyingtong for proving that real-world cryptography exists in practice & can serve marginalized people @lunardragon420 x @DarkFiSquad for uncompromising values & visionary ideas on both tech activism & role of code @mala x @FilFoundation for openness to transition old cypherpunk narratives into compeling and positive knowledge for the future to come @jaromil x @DyneOrg for balancing hacktivist culture with digital identity challenges, defending civic society by representing us in institutions @ml_sudo x @ethereumfndn's Silviculture for accelerating meaningful cryptography & culture across ecosystems @PryvitKyle x @brave for brinding gap between already proven privacy tech & emerging innovations - showing how crypto can plug'n'play in traditional tech @SCBuergel x @gnosis_ + @hoprnet for dedicating years of life to deliver network-level privacy, staying for the culture and diversifying VPN market. @jbaylina x @ziskvm for tech dedication to solve digital rights in practice, growing a group of cryptographers, scaling & securing millions of people. @AndyGuzmanEth x @PrivacyEthereum for proving that the future of privacy ecosystem depends on decency and positive communication. @Fatalmeh for caring about human rights now, legal web3 policies, & decentralised tech that will shift global power dynamics @miroyato x @fileverse for by-week practical deGoogling at scale via ddocs.new & bringing deep academical approach to decentralised tech culture @auryn_macmillan x @EnclaveE3 for long-lasting representation of human values where code really becomes a speech. Delivering complex encryption for confidential computation. @hebbianloop x @humntech for protecting identity at scale & bridging traditional digital rights with emerging tech @Cryptic_cm x @session_app for providing vocal alternatives to how we securely communicate & collaborate online @kassandraETH x @ethereumfndn for proving that code is an art, & cultural diversity can bring striking change - uniting ecosystems & voices beyond tribalism @Pol_Lanski x @dappnode for proving that node-running isn't a rocket science, but active contribution to both decentralisation and censorship resistance @LoringHarkness x @ShutterNetwork for pushing new cryptographic primitives to life, alligning different actords towards Encrypted Mempools @TMIYChao x @ethereumfndn + @BordelWTF for keeping reminding that original cypherpunks were build on values & not shiny merch (we translate: use @GrapheneOS, run your own node, visit CCC etc) @0xMeTony x @fluidkey for proving that hackathons can create decent privacy-projects positively evolving over time Daniel x @invisiblgarden for matching digital rights with commons, practical web3 aplicability to the endangered societies @ncsgy x @ethereumfndn for bringing tangible privacy via Kohaku, chancing the whole wallet-domain for better, and activating positive side of web3 to millions of people. @willscott for representing man of action approach, helping, supporting, activating.

💜 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Tor Community 💚 Together, we’ve raised $1,200,200 during our end-of-year fundraising campaign. This is a powerful testament to the strength of our collective mission. These funds will fuel our ongoing fight for internet freedom. As our Executive Director, Isabela, said: “We're continuing with a clear vision: make it easier for people to exercise their right to privacy and access to information with tools that keep us connected, and make it harder for powerful adversaries to break that connection.” Learn more about our vision for 2026: blog.torproject.org/advancing-digi…

Thanks for having us @Logos_network. We're excited to showcase real-world domains of where Tor is making an impact.

Privacy infrastructure can't ask institutions for permission to exist. 👁️ @torproject's co-founder Roger Dingledine on why protecting metadata—who you talk to and where you go online—should be baseline infrastructure. Not a privilege for people power already protects.

March 6–7. Lisbon. Parallel Society Lisbon 2026 is coming. Two days of: Civic tech. Open-source culture. Underground sound. And much, much more ... We're hosting an event, alongside @Logos_network, @_zanzalu, @torproject, @Kleros_io, @FundingCommons, @psy_dao, @MoneroKon, @nym & @winprivacy. Tickets are live! ps.logos.co

This is where we can make an impact 👇 ❄️ snowflake.torproject.org

The easiest ways to run Snowflake is by using Tor Browser, Orbot, or installing the browser add on in your current browser. Extra capacity helps people in Iran stay connected when the network comes back online.

🇮🇷 Update: Brief returns of internet access are driving spikes in Snowflake usage. Please help us run more proxies if you can. ❄️ snowflake.torproject.org
