Our current priorities are to:

(1) Improve the health and stability of the Tor network:  For at least 9 months, several different types of ongoing denial of service (DoS) attacks have affected the Tor network. At some points, the attacks impacted the network severely enough that users could not load pages or access onion services. We're working extremely hard to mitigate the impacts and defend the network from these attacks. The methods and targets of these attacks have changed over time and we are adapting as these attacks continue. It's not possible to determine with certainty who is conducting these attacks or their intentions—and we need your help to keep improving our defenses!

(2) Advance next generation of the Tor code with Rust: We have continued to make huge strides in implementing Arti ("a Rust Tor implementation), which is a full protocol replacement of the current C Tor implementation with the support of Zcash Community Grants. Arti will make Tor more secure, easier to maintain, and more sustainable. It will also make Tor more powerful and useful in mobile environments and much easier to embed a flexible and customized way. Right now, we're working on Arti 1.1.4, and our primary focus remains preparing for onion service support in Arti. 

(3) Help people everywhere fight censorship: Network-level surveillance and censorship is increasing everywhere, and there has never been more of a need for the Tor network than in this moment. Iranians are turning to Tor for its anti-censorship properties. People seeking reproductive and trans healthcare are turning to Tor to protect themselves from government surveillance. And all kinds of Web3 projects are using the Tor network to bring privacy, security, and anti-censorship  features to their users. We're working hard to make sure Tor is fast and easy to use for everyone.

These are just some of our goals for this year. You can read more about the many updates across our community at our blog: https://blog.torproject.org.
