Cryptocurrency enables us to reliably pay a team distributed around the world. It has provided the majority of our funding and is how we're able to run GrapheneOS as a non-profit entirely funded by donations. Many other privacy projects also receive the majority of their donations via cryptocurrency.

We're being attacked because we're transparent about how we're funded, how we pay our team and our general belief in technology protecting people from authoritarian states.
