RPCh was funded 15 months ago by a generous grant from the HOPR DAO ($900k). This financed the initial specification, proof of concept, implementation and adjustment of the underlying HOPR client. The initial beta version of RPCh is publicly available at access.RPCh.net and we invite you to test that version free of charge via the voucher code SCALE. The beta version is available to technical users as a Docker container but needs additional work to be integrated directly into a variety of Ethereum wallets, making RPCh available to every Ethereum user.

Since reaching the end of this funding runway, development of RPCh is currently reduced to an absolute minimum. With the help of this grant, we hope to pick up the work on bringing privacy to actual Ethereum wallets. We would do so via additional part time developers which we have available to work on RPCh as soon as we got funding confirmation as well as Gitcoin bounty hunters which we have proudly relied on since HOPR’s inception (see bounties.hoprnet.org for details).
