Interesting, what does this offer over other established protocols such as TOR and I2P?

In a nut shell it offers economic model to support its services and pay users but doesn't require you to host one. This makes it resistant to sybil attacks (consensus undermining) rather than through a Tor directory or I2P distributed-hash-table (DHT). It offers regular internet browsing through exit nodes as well as other services like I2P does. Again I can't explain it any better than their own websites. While Tor may be good for regular web and I2P for dedicated services like distributed anonymous file sharing and messaging, Loki looks like it has the potential and definitely the design to replace these networks as number one.
