SpaceCoin (SPACE), the decentralized satellite internet project, has initiated public testing for SpaceRouter Onion, a next-generation decentralized private internet architecture designed to enhance user privacy by routing browsing traffic through a path of three independent relay nodes.

How SpaceRouter Onion Works SpaceRouter Onion operates by splitting user traffic into encrypted layers, with each relay node only able to access the partial information required to forward the data. This approach, inspired by onion routing…
