Launch of RPCh - The First And Only Truly Private RPC Provider!
The first commercial product on top of our protocol has launched!
Hello privacy enthusiasts!
We're thrilled to announce the launch of RPCh - the first and only truly private RPC provider! The RPCh launch was held at a packed event in Denver, Colorado as part of ETHDenver.
HOPR has been on a real journey since ETHDenver in 2020.
Back then, Sebastian Bürgel hosted a workshop on Wi-Fi hacking with Wireshark.
In 2022, we introduced our first bounties to implement something on top of the HOPR protocol. The outcome, a private Ethereum transaction relayer, was the first precursor of RPCh!
And now in 2023, it’s finally here! We launched RPCh, a product that is the culmination of discussions at ETHDenver in 2020 and a first product idea in 2022!
RPCh isn’t just the first product on top of the HOPR protocol — it’s also the start of our journey to sustainable protocol revenue! Every RPCh user will leverage the HOPR network and every hop on the HOPR network is paid in $HOPR.
Only an economically sound network can change data privacy for good. That’s what we set out to deliver at HOPR and today marks a huge step in our journey to make web3 not just more decentralized but also more private than ever before.
This is just the beginning for HOPR, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for us.
RPCh is now live for users of the privacy-focused crypto wallet BlockWallet, or anyone can try it out with other wallets with free trial access via access.rpch.net.
