Tachyon Protocol (IPX)’s decentralised VPN solution, Tachyon VPN, has crossed 500,000 global active users and over 1200 nodes within a matter of months since breaching the 50,000 user mark. These figures put Tachyon VPN directly in the same league as leading VPN providers.
At the present rate of growth, the Tachyon Network is projected to expand to tens of thousands of nodes in a year and will be able to support millions of users. To keep this in perspective, NordVPN is currently able to service 12M+ users through its 5000+ servers.
Tachyon VPN already has more servers than several older players in spite of being the newest kid on the block.
Tachyon’s user and server growth will be driven by increased incentives from IPX Staking and the first ever decentralised VPN bandwidth marketplace. All of these factors together will usher in a new era of crowd sourced nodes previously not seen in other VPN services.
With nearly 69% of circulating supply or ~185M IPX already staked through IPXUS and Bithumb, the proof of concept for the bandwidth marketplace has been established. The full-fledged marketplace is slated to go live by August. The key steps towards development of supporting infrastructure (which will build Staking 2.0) includes release of the IPX wallet, integration of IPX payments and upgrade of node manager i.e. Node Manager 2.0 among others.
The IPX Wallet will allow users to receive, transfer, exchange and manage IPX tokens directly from the VPN and the official website. Release of the wallet is expected soon. IPX will also become a payment option for users to buy premium VPN traffic and these payments will go to Node Providers as session rewards for offering the traffic. And finally, Node Manager 2.0 will make running a node and staking as simple as 1-2-3. All tech enthusiasts are able to run their own nodes and join staking immediately with Node Manager 2.0.
