existing protocols and

private communication. This requires doing some uncomfortable things, like making hard choices as it relates to
funding, alternative decentralization models, doubling down on privacy over convenience, and more.

The sender remains anonymous because each intermediary knows only the location of the immediately preceding and following nodes.</p><p>The most widely used onion network is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)">Tor</a>.</p><p>Some elements of SimpleX network use similar ideas in their design - different addresses for the same resource used by different parties, and additional encryption layers. Currently though, SimpleX messaging protocol does not protect sender network address, as the relay server is chosen by the recipient. The delivery relays chosen by sender that are planned for the future would make SimpleX design closer to onion routing.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing">Wikipedia</a></p></div><svg class="close-overlay-btn" id="cross" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 13 13" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M12.7973 11.5525L7.59762 6.49833L12.7947 1.44675C13.055 1.19371 13.0658 0.771991 12.8188 0.505331C12.5718 0.238674 12.1602 0.227644 11.8999 0.480681L6.65343 5.58028L1.09979 0.182228C0.805 0.002228 0.430001 0.002228 0.135211 0.182228C-0.159579 0.362228 -0.159579 0.697228 0.135211 0.877228L5.68885 6.27528L0.4918 11.3295C0.231501 11.5825 0.220703 12.0042 0.467664 12.2709C0.714625 12.5376 1.12625 12.5486 1.38655 12.2956L6.63302 7.196L12.1867 12.5941C12.4815 12.7741 12.8565 12.7741 13.1513 12.5941C13.4461 12.4141 13.4461 12.0791 13.1513 11.8991L12.7973 11.5525Z"></path></svg></div></div><div id="overlay-network" class="overlay glossary-overlay hidden"><div class="overlay-card"><h1 class="overlay-title">Overlay network</h1><div class="overlay-content"><p>Nodes in the overlay network can be thought of as being connected by virtual or logical links, each of which corresponds to a path, perhaps through many physical links, in the underlying network.
