September was an eventful month for HOPR! Here are some things you might have missed.
Wildhorn Testnet on Polygon
September’s biggest news was the HOPR Wildhorn testnet. Participation was amazing, with over 2000 peers regularly logged simultaneously and more than 80,000 payment channels opened over the course of the testnet. This is exactly what we needed to stress-test the protocol and gather data on how the HOPR network performs at scale.
Everyone who verified a node has been sent a HOPR boost NFT as a reward. If you missed out, don’t worry: the second iteration of Wildhorn is due to start very soon!
HOPR partnership with Ceramic Network
It’s tough to test and monitor our protocol while staying true to the principles of privacy and decentralization. That’s why we’re using Ceramic Network to power our data gathering endeavours. In the recent testnet, participants were able to verify their nodes to a Ceramic IDX identity, giving users full control while allowing us to access more than just on-chain data. Going forward, Ceramic will be an integral part of our cover traffic testing.
