What is Orchid Blockchain Protocol?

Orchid is a peer-to-peer marketplace for virtual private networking (VPN) providers and users that allows any user of the network to purchase bandwidth (off-chain and without gas fees and the congestion of the Ethereum network) from a participating VPN service provider. The Orchid network utilizes a payment mechanism called a probabilistic nanopayment for users to purchase bandwidth by paying in Orchid's native utility token (OXT).
