Elrond and HOPR Deepen Partnership
It’s been just over a year since we began our partnership with Elrond, and both projects have gone from strength to strength. Today we’re pleased to be deepening our collaboration with a new commitment to protecting Elrond’s users and securing tools built on the Elrond chain.
The advent of Web3 is an amazing thing, but simply being decentralized isn’t enough — in fact, a Web3 approach introduces a variety of brand new privacy problems which can leave users even more exposed than before. HOPR is committed to bringing privacy to everyone online, and a huge part of that is partnering with crypto projects to find ways to secure the exciting new tools and services being built in DeFi and beyond.
Elrond has been busy releasing a whole suite of new crypto tools, from its Maiar exchange to the upcoming Maiar NFT Marketplace. But both teams agree these tools will be even more useful and bring even more value once users and content creators can have full confidence their identity, location, and transactions are private. Current connection methods aren’t up to the task here, even with VPNs.
You can see more about how HOPR protects sensitive user metadata in the recent presentation by our cryptographer Amira Bouguera from the EthCC conference in Paris.
As part of our partnership, we’re looking at ways to integrate HOPR with Elrond’s Maiar app, including the possibility of connecting via the HOPR network. In the short-run, you’ll be able to bridge HOPR to Elrond as an ESDT token, allowing HOPR holders to use the various DeFi services on the Maiar Exchange.
Elrond will be hosting a HOPR technical AMA in the Elrond Telegram community, where our founder Sebastian Bürgel will be answering questions about how HOPR and Elrond are working together to change data privacy for good. The precise date and time will be announced soon.
