Loki is a privacy network which will allow users to transact and communicate privately and anonymously over the internet. Users will be able to build applications on the #Loki platform, including messaging services, online marketplaces and social media platforms. These services will incorporate privacy and data security by default, features which are often at risk on traditional online platforms.
#Loki maintains the belief that privacy is human right and aims to empower all individuals to control their digital information by creating privacy tools which can be used by anyone.
