About Orchid Protocol

Orchid Protocol is a decentralized VPN marketplace that allows users to purchase private internet bandwidth using OXT tokens or by paying with a credit card via nanopayments. Unlike centralized VPNs, Orchid connects users to a network of VPN providers in a trustless, competitive marketplace where users can pick their preferred provider or have one randomly assigned. The system uses probabilistic nanopayments—a novel payment channel technique—to pay for small amounts of bandwidth without on-chain transaction fees for every data packet. Orchid was one of the first privacy-focused blockchain projects to receive significant venture backing and was listed on major exchanges at launch.

How to Swap OXT

Swapping Orchid Protocol (OXT) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. Since OXT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, or Ledger Live. Open SyntheticSwap, select OXT as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and review the floating exchange rate. Once you send OXT to the deposit address provided, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. The process is fully non-custodial — SyntheticSwap never holds your tokens at any point.

How to Store OXT

Store OXT in any Ethereum-compatible wallet such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or Ledger. OXT is an ERC-20 token compatible with all standard Ethereum wallets.
