Zor Browser is the official gateway to the Zor Network โ a next-generation privacy layer built on mixnets, zero-knowledge proofs, and Zcashโs shielded payments.
It looks and feels like a modern browser, but under the hood, it verifies every relay, funds every route, and keeps every byte of data private by design.
๐ What It Is
Zor Browser is a Chromium-based browser embedded with the Zor Core โ a background service that connects you directly to the Zor mixnet.
Thereโs no manual setup, no configuration files, no wallet popups.
When you open Zor Browser:
It automatically connects to the mixnet through 3โ20 random relays.
It funds a private vault using shielded ZEC from your local wallet.
It begins routing your traffic through encrypted hops, verifying each relay with zk-proofs.
As you browse, micro-payments flow privately to each verified relay.
Everything happens transparently and verifiably โ privacy that just works.
๐ Core Features
๐ง Mixnet Auto-Routing
All requests are wrapped in onion layers and passed through random relays.
If any hop fails, the browser reroutes automatically using encrypted recovery capsules.
You stay connected โ always.
๐ฐ Integrated Shielded Wallet
Zor Browser includes a built-in Zcash wallet for shielded payments.
It automatically funds your vault and pays micro-fees per session โ invisible to the user, private on-chain, auditable only by you.
๐ง Proof-of-Forwarding Verification
Each relay you pass through generates a zk-proof that it forwarded your data correctly.
If the proof checks out, itโs paid instantly in ZEC.
If not, itโs ignored. No proof = no reward.
๐ชช ZCert Authentication
When visiting .zor sites, Zor Browser checks a ZCert โ a hardware-attested certificate that proves the service is running in a verified enclave.
Itโs the Zor version of HTTPS โ but verified by cryptography, not corporations.
๐ ๏ธ Privacy Strength Meter
A visual indicator shows your current hop count and latency, helping users balance performance and privacy on the fly.
