MegaAMA #10 - HOP Network

The internet was meant to be borderless, yet billions face restrictions from ISPs and governments. HOP is changing that. More than just a VPN, HOP is a Portal Network—a decentralized, multi-hop system that makes censorship impossible and privacy unstoppable.

- Beyond VPNs: No single point of failure, no easy blocks
- Powered by People: Users contribute bandwidth, creating a resilient, ever-growing network
- No Trust Needed: Transparent, verifiable code—not empty privacy promises

Join us in the MegaETH discord on Monday, 31st March at 4PM UTC to discover more about how HOP Network will became the portal to the open internet.

The fastest blockchain oracle. Ever.

We worked with Redstone to develop a push oracle which updates every 2.4ms: that means consistent 416 TPS on the only real-time chain.
