" summary

Orchid describes a decentralized VPN network with iOS Android and macOS clients, partners running nodes, and a launched December system that uses a nanopayments probabilistic layer 2 to pay at data networking speeds. Tornado Cash explains a noncustodial mixer that breaks deposit–withdrawal links, plans Tornado Cash v3 and experiments combining Wasabi UX with Zcash zero knowledge shielded transfers for Ethereum. Both projects use oracles for pricing — including a Chainlink gas price oracle and a federated bandwidth pricing feed — and report live mainnet usage.
