Tor can be used to improve the overall privacy of transactions by hiding which users are communicating to which servers when, and thereby protecting users against a wider variety of traffic analysis and correlation attacks.

We know there are some pain points in integrating the Tor protocol in this way, including within web3 projects. This is where "Arti" comes into play.

Arti is a pure-Rust implementation of the Tor protocols, designed from the ground up for flexibility in embedding,  straightforward maintenance, flexible deployment, and good performance. 

Arti has the potential to benefit the Ethereum ecosystem with network privacy and censorship circumvention properties in many ways, both in the short term and the long term: 
1. Arti makes Tor easier to embed
2. Arti allows for more fine-grained control over Tor’s behavior, and 
3. Arti ensures Tor improvements can be developed faster.

We believe Arti is the future of Tor, one that will make it much easier for other applications to adapt Tor to fit with their projects, taking only the parts that they need to keep their binaries small for mobile or other restricted environments.
