Black holeBy bringing data privacy to the new era, HOPR employs the powers of blockchain technology and the HOPR token to ensure users have full control over how their data is utilized. The HOPR protocol uses “mixnets,” or routing protocols, in order to shuffle around data and make it extremely hard to track. While shuffling data makes it almost untraceable, the different pieces of information are successfully delivered to the user to decide how to use the whole data set.
In addition, HOPR uses cover traffic to boost data protection further. Cover traffic is the process of sending out empty data packages throughout the mixnet so that this further challenges data interception and misuse. HOPR pioneers the data privacy space, especially because of the focus on blockchain technology. The project has already attracted institutional partners like Avado, Elrond, Sedimentum and Blockarc. HOPR is continuing to improve the protocol and dropping improvements as the ecosystem grows.
HOPR is a blockchain-based protocol aiming to solve data and privacy issues on a global scale. With an official initial coin offering (ICO) in 2021, HOPR sets out to completely decentralize private data exchanges. According to the protocol’s official website, HOPR is a next-generation privacy solution, allowing both private and enterprise users to decide who has access to their online and personal data.
