The HOPR protocol provides network-level and metadata privacy for every kind of data exchange. A mixnet protects the identity of both sender and recipe ent by routing data via multiple intermediate relay hops that mix traffic.
Payments are handled via probabilistic micropayments, a custom layer-2 scaling solution on top of the Ethereum blockchain.
Relay mix nodes are rewarded for their work in HOPR tokens. The proof-of-relay mechanism protects users from dishonest behavior.
HOPR thus provides economic incentives to run a global privacy network sustainably - and at scale - without compromising privacy.
