Huge kudos to @Nethermind for improving what I call *the actually biggest issue of Ethereum* - a broken and non-standardized RPC interface 👏

Now it gets interesting though
1. "it seems the tests need to be adjusted" -> we're inevitably approaching what nobody wants to do: standards discussions
2. Now that we got to (basically) 100% coverage, how do we extend tests (by several orders of magnitude?
3. How do we nudge (enforce?!) other clients to up their game on test compliance? Looking at you @paradigm @ErigonEth @ethnimbus @ethrex_client @HyperledgerBesu 👀

🚨 We’ve submitted our response to the proposed revisions to Swiss VÜPF surveillance law. If passed, Switzerland would transform overnight from a bastion of privacy to a surveillance state with powers that would make the EU and the USA blush

The changes threaten privacy, innovation and Switzerland’s reputation for upholding individual freedoms, and we whole-heartedly oppose them

Today, we celebrate the heroes driving the ACTUALLY RELEVANT #NumbaGoUp 📈

In just 2 weeks, 64% of @hoprnet nodes upgraded to the latest release. How?! 🤯

This wouldn't be possible without the endless efforts of our @Andrewst86 and our ambassadors @Tarzil21 & @mr_vavilon 👏

Since there's a bit of hype around $HOPR let me give you my max bullish thesis for @hoprnet

To be clear, I'm not focused on price, but privacy. I hear people say "why does the founder of a token project that I hold not care about price action?!". Because in all sustainably successful projects, like Ethereum for example, price follows utility - never the other way around.

What we build at HOPR is of fundamental value for all of humanity, it's not even just web3, it's about ALL digital communication, data exchange and messaging.

The internet as we know it today, was originally neither secure nor private. Over the past decades, cryptographers and engineers came up with ways to make it more secure. For example, they made web browsers communicate with web servers over secure HTTPS.

But the internet still doesn't have privacy and that's ridiculous. Whenever you open a website from your browser, when a mobile app loads data or when your crypto wallet sends a transaction, there's a server on the other end that sees WHAT you are doing and also sees WHERE you are. It sees your IP address, which is your unique home address on the internet.

This is what we call metadata and it contains highly personal information, even if it doesn't feel that way. Think about it:
There's server operators who can connect all that information. They know your name and they can link it to your financial activities because you're a crypto nerd. They can connect it to your travel history because you plan your journeys online. They can map out your friendships, dates, doctors and naughty desires because they see everything you connect to online.

That information is typically logged, stored - and currently made accessible via AI tools that can make sense of this huge pile of data for the very first time. Your most personal secrets aren't secret for much longer and that's a disaster.

This problem isn't new, but the best solutions that we have today, VPNs and Tor, are not very private and centralized. That means you trust a few big players to not spy on you. Which is the very thing you wanted to avoid in the first place. That's why VPNs or Tor are not the answer.

To fix this problem that's deeply embedded in the internet and all that's running on top of it - web3 and web2 in the same fashion - we built the HOPR network. HOPR brings privacy to the internet, for any application and any service.

HOPR provides privacy for any sort of data exchange, not on-chain transactions but privacy when you send data from A to B. It achieves that by relaying data packets via intermediate nodes, that are run by the HOPR community. So while data packets are "hopping" around the network, they obfuscate where data came from and where data goes to.

All of that is coordinated by the $HOPR token. Node operators need to stake the $HOPR token in payment channels that signal where they are willing to relay traffic. Users (typically companies who want to provide privacy respecting services for their users) pay for accessing the HOPR network in $HOPR token.

Now if the HOPR ecosystem only manages to onboard a tiny part of the wider internet and deliver privacy, the demand for the $HOPR token, that's tightly coupled to usages of the HOPR network, will certainly be significant. As I said initially, price follows utility. My job is to drive not just development of the HOPR network but also its utility. Making the HOPR network be used.

The first use case that the brave and somewhat technical users can try out today is RPC-over-HOPR. It brings privacy to crypto wallets and you can try it out by visiting

The discussion phase of the eighth HOPR governance experiment is now open! 🏁

👉 Have a say in the setup of the new HOPR Community Trust and the establishment of a governance platform

HOPR RiSe AG, the company created to support product development within the HOPR ecosystem, is the first company to have its starting capital entirely held on @gnosischain 🔥

Although stealth addresses solve a part of the problem, they are far from a complete solution without transport-layer privacy

[RPCh @RPC_h_]

We can't wait to complement all the on-chain privacy hacks with the first truly private RPC provider - soon ™️

[RPCh @RPC_h_]

Stealth addresses take the main stage in @VitalikButerin‘s privacy transition at #ETHWaterloo, but without transport layer privacy, stealth addresses can still be linked to a single source

For example, through your RPC requests, as seen on DERP

Are you a developer interested in integrating your favorite Ethereum wallet with the first and only truly private RPC provider? Then listen up, because this announcement is for you! 🔥

[RPCh @RPC_h_]

Let’s explore upcoming features on the RPCh roadmap, starting with two that obscure traffic movement 👏

Something proxies/VPNs don’t address at all but is essential for true privacy is protection against traffic/timing analysis 🔐

[RPCh @RPC_h_]

RPCh Beta will allow community members to run entry/exit nodes for RPCh relays 😎

But to do this, you first need a running HOPR node, join the waitlist now ahead of our next release and start running a HOPR node:

[CS Bastiat ⚖️ @CSBastiat]

Privacy in web3 doesn't exist.

Every time you launch MetaMask, the RPC provider (Infura, by default) receives a list of ALL addresses in that wallet.

Your addresses get linked together & they can share this w/ 3rd parties.

https://t.co/UxORXGSjig demos this nicely. @hoprnet
