Tachyon Protocol
by Tachyon Network / X-VPN Team
Quick Fact
Tachyon replaces the traditional internet protocol stack with its own P2P model, focusing on security, speed, and resistance to censorship.
A New Stack for the Decentralized Internet
Tachyon Protocol is a decentralized network protocol designed to optimize internet traffic for speed, privacy, and resilience. It reconstructs the traditional TCP/IP stack using a blend of technologies like blockchain, P2P networking, UDP-based transport protocols, and end-to-end encryption.
Decentralized VPN and Secure Routing
One of Tachyon's core use cases is decentralized VPN (dVPN) functionality. Users can access private internet services through a globally distributed set of relay nodes. Node operators are rewarded in IPX, Tachyon’s native token, creating an incentive layer for maintaining network uptime and bandwidth provisioning.
Token Utility and Governance
Built on the V Systems blockchain, Tachyon uses the IPX token to support payments, staking, and governance within the ecosystem. The protocol is designed to facilitate secure file sharing, messaging, and general-purpose privacy tooling in addition to dVPN functionality.
