PANews reported on May 20th, citing Cointelegraph, that the Tor Project, in partnership with Funding the Commons, launched a Web3 crowdfunding campaign to support 10 non-profit projects dedicated to privacy, anti-censorship, secure communications, and digital infrastructure for the public good. The campaign, launched on May 19th, accepts donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Monero, and Golem. Using a quadratic funding model, the $115,000 matching fund pool is provided by Cake Wallet, Zcash community funding, Logos, and Octant, and will run until June 18th. David Casey, Project Director at Funding the Commons, stated that quadratic funding is one of the solutions Web3 offers for financing critical infrastructure. Isabela Fernandes, Executive Director of the Tor Project, stated that the campaign aims to support organizations building tools to resist censorship. A Freedom House report indicates that global internet freedom has declined for 15 consecutive years, and by 2025, internet shutdowns and systemic censorship will affect more than half of the world's population. The United States withdrew from the Free Online Coalition in January.
