About

An onion-routed internet natively supporting all IP-based protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP). Part of the Oxen privacy ecosystem.

Analysis

OVERVIEW

Lokinet is an onion-routed network supporting TCP, UDP and ICMP traffic natively, built within the Oxen privacy ecosystem and funded through OXEN token staking rewards rather than venture capital.

LIMITS

The founding CEO has since moved on to the Chainflip project, and Lokinet's foundation operates under Australian law, a Five Eyes jurisdiction where the Assistance and Access Act can compel encryption backdoors under gag orders, though the foundation has publicly criticized that law.

USEFUL FOR

Onion routing at the IP layer fits use beyond browser-only traffic, for those who accept the jurisdictional exposure of an Australian-law foundation.
