HOP ON BOARD 2022

In January 2022, we launched our Hop on Board program to expand the HOPR ecosystem and foster development of dApps on top of the HOPR protocol. As more people wake up to the crucial role privacy plays in web3, HOPR has forged collaborations with like-minded projects across the whole crypto stack.

Follow the timeline below to learn what’s already and how you can Hop on Board with HOPR and help change privacy for good.

DERP

Our D.E.R.P. tool highlights the privacy pitfalls of public RPC providers. Many of today’s DeFi service leak identifying metadata, even if you don’t make a transaction. This shows how vital a transport layer privacy solution like HOPR will be to building web3.

Wallets like Metamask reveal all the accounts you control, even if they have never interacted on chain
