About HOPR

HOPR is a privacy-preserving messaging protocol that protects metadata privacy through an incentivized mixnet. Unlike traditional VPNs or Tor which can still leak metadata (who is communicating with whom, when, and how often), HOPR routes encrypted data through multiple nodes in a mix network where node operators earn HOPR tokens for relaying messages. This creates a sustainable economic model for private communication infrastructure. HOPR is designed to be the privacy layer for web3 applications that need to communicate without exposing user metadata to surveillance.
