<p>Moria, which is constructed on Tether’s proprietary Holepunch technology, was developed with the goal of changing the communication within the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. By seeking to facilitate secure and resilient interactions among its components, Moria is designed to be highly resistant to potential attacks and cost-effective.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In <a href="https://crypto.news/the-vision-of-tethers-paolo-ardoino-cypherpunk-ideals-regulation-and-the-future-of-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a recent interview with crypto.news</a>, Ardoino stated that Tether’s long-term goals involved investing in Bitcoin technology, promoting sustainable mining, and supporting open financial and communication infrastructure in developing countries. He highlighted that the company was committed to championing freedom of speech and open-source technologies, as reflected in their projects like Holepunch and investments in open-source hardware wallets.</p> 
<p>Furthermore, Ardoino insisted that regulators focus on existing financial structures rather than reactively targeting cryptocurrencies.</p> 
<p>“In the last two years, I’ve been in good contact with regulators that are 100% interested in creating a safe environment for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to thrive,” he said.</p>
