Anyone Protocol ($ANYONE)

4 January 2026

Decentralized onion-routed VPN.

Verdict: OKAY

They have actually released a hardware unit that people use.
But I’m not convinced they will be able to create a sustainable market.
And info on the team is lacking.

Product

Decentralized VPN. Onion routed.

Can run on existing hardware. They also sell a custom wifi access point device for $500, the “Anyone Router”. It can be used for VPN access alone, but can also be set up to share bandwidth to earn tokens.

Mainnet live 22 Dec 2025. 7.6k relays (router nodes) as of 2026-01-04.

I read the whitepaper. It was decent on the tech parts. What I’m missing is the analysis of the business and demand side of things. It’s one thing to build the basic network, but another to get people to use it.

Token

Token $ANYONE. Standard DePIN setup: pay to use services, get paid to offer them. The idea is that it will be free to regular users, with premium features like higher performance requiring payment. Relay operators must stake some tokens. In the future, 15% of revenue will be used to buy back and burn tokens.

Team

Can’t find much info about the team.
