RightMesh, incubated by multi-award winning parent company Left, is on a mission to bring connectivity to the next billion users and lift 100 million people out of poverty. Using the combined power of blockchain, mesh networking and our own MESH tokens, our team of 100+ PhDs, Scientists, Developers, Entrepreneurs, Business Strategists, and other experts in Canada and Bangladesh, are building a solution that will change the way the world connects. We are putting the power of connectivity right into the hands of the people with self-forming, self-healing, and self-regulating, mobile mesh networks that use various technologies in existing smartphones and IoT devices rather than relying on traditional infrastructure and Internet Service Providers. RightMesh’s platform and protocol enable decentralized communications, allowing true peer-to-peer connectivity, extending connectivity to previously unconnected remote locations and developing nations, providing a viable solution to support net neutrality, and enabling offline connectivity when natural disasters or regimes take down traditional communications infrastructure.

The founders and I had been thinking: why can’t we build an Internet that no one can shut down, so that everyone can use it without fear? To do that, the concept of decentralizing everything made sense, because there’s no single point of failure. The Orchid protocol uses an overlay network built upon the existing internet, which is driven by a peer-to-peer tokenized bandwidth exchange, creating a more inclusive, liberated internet.

Orchid is the realization of many decades of work to use technology and entrepreneurship for social betterment. Token offerings are not for get-rich schemes nor are they a way to raise money when you’ve been rejected by every venture capitalist in town. But they can be a driver for technology that creates change. With Orchid, we’re building a new Internet, one that aims to restore to the internet to a place open and accessible to all, where communication and collaboration may flow freely.

THE ORCHID PROTOCOL
OUR MISSION
The Internet was invented for everyone. An open platform to access information, collaborate, and communicate freely across borders. Unfortunately, it’s no longer a place of true openness and freedom. But, we can change that. We’ve created an open-source protocol with a token-based bandwidth exchange to protect everyone around the world from censorship and surveillance.

WHY
Internet access for over 75% of the global population is restricted or censored. ISPs worldwide harvest and sell users’ data to the highest bidder. Orchid is a new surveillance-free layer on top of the existing Internet, allowing users to bypass firewalls, access information, and communicate freely. Join us and help create a truly independent, censorship-free Internet.

ALL THE RIGHT PARTS
Orchid combines its protocol with surplus bandwidth, state-of-the art-encryption, and a decentralized infrastructure to bring users surveillance-free access to the existing Internet. Because everyone is surveilled and bandwidth is ubiquitous, Orchid users can exchange bandwidth in peer-to-peer transactions using Orchid tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

FAQs
ABOUT ORCHID
What is Orchid?
Orchid is an open-source project committed to ending surveillance and censorship on the Internet. The Orchid protocol uses an overlay network built upon the existing Internet, which is driven by a peer-to-peer tokenized bandwidth exchange, creating a more inclusive, liberated Internet. Orchid Labs Inc. is a delaware company with the mission of promoting and supporting the research and development of the Orchid Protocol. Orchid Labs Inc. was founded in 2017 by leading technologists and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

What is the purpose of Orchid?
To make the Internet free of surveillance and censorship again.

How does it work?
The Orchid Protocol is an open-source overlay network that runs on top of the Internet. Its fully decentralized, because rather than traffic being routed through central authorities—your ISP or your VPN—it’s instead routed randomly through a network of bandwidth contributors who sign up to share their surplus bandwidth and activate their Internet-connected device as a ‘node’”Users that want to access an uncensored Internet (bandwidth consumers) pay the bandwidth contributors in Orchid tokens through a peer-to-peer exchange. Because neither the traffic nor the payments can be monitored by central authorities, both contributors and consumers of bandwidth enjoy a fully anonymous, surveillance-free experience.

When will it go live?
Orchid protocols are available in private alpha to select recipients today. Later this year, all Orchid software will be published to the open source community. Early in 2018 we plan to offer a public beta of the Orchid Protocol to help billions of users on all corners of the globe make Internet Freedom a reality.

Who are the investors?
To support Orchid Labs and its mission, the company has raised $4.7M seed SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) from investors including Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, DFJ, PolyChain Capital, Metastable, Blockchain Capital, Crunchfund, Struck Capital, Compound VC, and several other funds and angel investors.

BitMinutes combine prepaid airtime with blockchain technology unleashing a new, innovative cryptocurrency for mobile financial services.

BitMinutes (“BTM” or “BTMs”). BitMinutes are encrypted tokens powered by P2P Cash’s proprietary Smart Token technology. BTMs create secure interoperability between disparate global financial networks, mobile network carriers and emerging blockchains, enabling frictionless exchange of value between those networks.

The journey began In 2012, when our team of Harvard and Stanford graduates came together to launch a P2P Cash Incubator to develop global Financial Technology applications. Our primary goal is to improve the financial well-being of the 2 billion under-banked people in the world through the use of blockchain.

We invented BitMinutes (BTM), a new crypto-currency that is based on International (ISO) Banking Standards and that which not only provides secure liquidity for P2P lenders but also democratizes P2P lending to denominations as small as $10. Their inter-changeability between prepaid minutes and cash collateralizes even the smallest P2P loan.

Most ICOs can be risky as the they typically raise capital for incomplete projects that do not address a proven consumer market. BitMinutes are in continuous production, targeting the combined global remittance and mobile prepaid industries market valued at $1.2 trillion. Today we have a global distribution in place reaching over 4 billion mobile phones and over 2 billion bank accounts. BitMinutes use builds both consumer credit and acts as a collateral for lending.

We have signed on MasterCard as one of our global partners, issuing virtual accounts based on BitMinutes. Currently we are under negotiation with a global multi-carrier reaching over half a billion subscribers.

Our Initial Coin Offering (ICO)is opened through the month of May and are seeking a few select BitMinutes distribution partners namely Banks, Micro-Finance Institutions, Telecom Carriers to improve the lives of the under-banked via P2P Lending.
