In a significant stride towards enhancing blockchain privacy solutions, HOPR has proposed the development of GnosisVPN, leveraging their expertise alongside the robust infrastructure of GnosisDAO.
The proposal, currently under discussion in Phase 2 at the GnosisDAO forum, aims to secure a substantial $1.5 million investment to foster this pioneering venture.
This collaboration seeks to merge HOPR’s innovative privacy technology with Gnosis’s blockchain, focusing on creating a decentralized VPN that enhances user privacy across blockchain interactions.
GnosisDAO has decided on a combined investment of US$1.5M and 500 GNO tokens in @hoprnet, a pioneer in providing fully private, uncensorable data exchange between peers, to undertake the development of the fully decentralised GnosisVPN.

Enhanced Security and Accessibility
The GnosisVPN initiative represents a critical evolution in blockchain privacy, focusing on enhancing the security and accessibility of blockchain applications.
By addressing the limitations of traditional VPN solutions, which often suffer from centralization and potential data mishandling, GnosisVPN aims to provide a decentralized alternative.
This service will utilize HOPR’s mixnet technology to offer a resilient, censorship-resistant network, enabling safer and more private data transmission across blockchain platforms.
The development of GnosisVPN is set to unfold in two phases, starting with a focus on HTTP and Web3 users. The initial goal is to launch a browser extension that facilitates access to various services within the Gnosis ecosystem, such as Cowswap, Safe, and the HOPR Staking Hub.
This phased approach allows for rigorous testing and scaling of the network to ensure robust performance under increased loads. HOPR plans to expand the VPN’s capabilities to support a wider range of data transport protocols, making it a versatile tool for various online activities.
Strategic Partnership for a Decentralized Future
This proposal not only signifies a major milestone for HOPR in terms of funding but also aligns with their long-term vision of supporting comprehensive data transport privacy. GnosisDAO’s potential investment would extend HOPR’s operational runway significantly, allowing them to dedicate substantial resources to bring GnosisVPN to fruition.
Furthermore, this venture promises to position both HOPR and GnosisDAO at the forefront of decentralized technology innovation, paving the way for a more interconnected and privacy-respecting digital landscape.
