Decentralized approaches to digital services, finance and data transfer will usher in a new era of freedom, fairness and user choice. But without transport level privacy web3 is actually less private than Web 2.0, because exposed metadata can be used to disrupt, exploit and censor users and services, even behind a VPN.
HOPR’s decentralized, incentivized mixnet obscures all metadata, including IP addresses, making it impossible to tell anything about who is communicating and what data they’re sending.
Sensitive medical data needs the highest level of privacy. Even when encrypted, metadata from sensors and health apps can expose information which must legally be kept private. HOPR makes all data and metadata indistinguishable!
Current DeFi and other crypto services regularly expose the user’s IP address and other metadata – even if no transaction occurs. This metadata could be stored, used to link addresses and reveal real world identities.
To avoid malicious price manipulation in decentralized energy markets, buyers and energy suppliers need to ensure they’re transferring the correct amount of energy for the right price. This can only be solved with a metadata-private network like HOPR.
Run a HOPR node to make the internet a more private place and earn HOPR tokens for relaying data. HOPR nodes also receive cover traffic proportional to their staked tokens. The more you stake and the more data you relay, the more you earn.
