Hello privacy enthusiasts!

TL;DR
RPCh - your first private Ethereum RPC provider
Staking Season 05 is upon us!
The special HOPR Dappnode version is back in stock!
HOPR Co-Founds Leading Privacy Alliance of Web3
We published the first in-depth study of using HOPR: HOPR as the transport layer for privacy-aware, GDPR-compliant IoT health systems
Announcement Of RPCh
We’re extremely proud to introduce RPCh: a service on top of the HOPR protocol which routes RPC requests and responses via the HOPR network.
In web3, almost every transaction relies on infrastructure provided by closed-source, centralized infrastructure providers who you simply have to trust not to misuse your data. We’re talking about RPC providers like Infura/Alchemy, the engine that keeps the entire crypto rocket flying, supporting billions of RPC calls daily. But unlike the cryptosystem they support, they are highly centralized black boxes which are entirely closed source.
RPCh is the first of its kind and the only truly private way to make transactions in web3!

Restock Of HOPR Dappnode
HOPR has partnered with leading crypto hardware provider Dappnode to produce a special HOPR version of their Dappnode x Gnosis Chain device.
The initial run of this device was limited to just 50 machines which sold out faster than expected. Thus, we worked hard to produce another batch of HOPR Dappnodes as quickly as possible.
We’re excited to announce that 50 more devices are available with instant delivery!
The 16GB machine comes with the best-ever package of incentives: 4 GNOs, 900 HOPR Tokens and 500 Node Tokens!
HOPR Co-Founds Leading Privacy Alliance of Web3
The Leading Privacy Alliance (LPA) was officially launched in Bogotá, Colombia, ahead of Devcon. LPA members will work together to promote privacy and build cross-stack technology which puts privacy first in web3. This is the only way to protect users and help web3 technology reach its true potential as an evolution of Web 2.0.
The core values of the LPA are privacy, neutrality, and freedom. The LPA strives to build transparent technology which provides users with complete control of their choices online, including their privacy choices. These values and goals are a strong match with HOPR’s, so it makes perfect sense for us to join the LPA as a founding member and seek to onboard like-minded projects.
HOPR Healthcare Case Study
Most content you see from us is focused on crypto, but that’s just part of HOPR’s mission. Privacy is vital for ALL data transport in every industry!
We do a lot of outreach to projects outside of crypto to understand their data privacy needs and work with them to integrate HOPR in a secure, efficient, and compliant way. We’ve been working closely with MedTech companies to validate HOPR’s status as a GDPR-compliant approach to data transport and storage. This use case paper is the first step on this journey.
