The good news is, with the support of our community, including many in the web3 space, we have been able to hire and focus energy on making rapid improvements in the protections against these attacks. With your support, we'll continue to improve the Tor network's ability to withstand attacks without degrading performance.\n\n(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. The latest release of Arti, 1.1.7, continues to lay the groundwork for Arti to run as an onion service.\n\n(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. Over the last year, we've fought in a variety of ways to keep people connected to the open internet in Russia, Iran, China, Turkmenistan as online censorship increases. We're helping people seeking reproductive and trans healthcare to use to Tor to protect themselves from government surveillance. And we support all kinds of Web3 projects who use the Tor network to bring privacy, security, and anti-censorship features to their users. With your support, we can continue working hard to make sure Tor is fast and easy to use for everyone.\n\nThese are just some of our goals for this year.
