Dear community, We haven't distributed new slots for quite a while, because we wanted to make sure the network is working as expected. We have great news on that front, and today we will distribute 5 new slots! 🎉 NFTs and funding have already been sent to the next five staking addresses on the waitlist (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13RcEaB2PyovJ4oEx0ViT3v5QeqpdxBJ74Pk3dyALCF8/edit#gid=0): 0x91ba7d1cb45cb17ddd5526253a0c791e3d413bc5 0x86df6fb7d87cad5683a4b148f1e5afa6cb4633ed 0xba540bb14101cbd4170df90408c0b9ec6c86273c 0x2e5b27a6ee216c90f6f42bfeadd7cd25888e5be3 0x7f6f2be1228cd0fe2bcff4d945c5b9c5efd430f1 You have 48h to spin up your nodes.

In mean time let me explain about the connections. It can have 5 connectivity statuses: ❔ Unknown: initial value when the node is started. Means the connectivity could not be assessed. 🔴 Red: No connection to any nodes at all. 🟠 Orange: Low-quality (<= 0.5) connection to at least 1 public node. 🟡 Yellow: High-quality connection to at least 1 public node. 🟢 Green: High-quality connection to at least 1 public node and at least 1 non-public node. If you have a green connection it doesn’t mean you will be reachable by all the nodes. My recommendations would be: 1. If you missed a ping count from a pingbot on a network dashboard 2. Try to ping these pingbots manually 16Uiu2HAmTHiLF5msGmRzQDLZv1XLTSR3BcoDsn912JA5rVESupWb 16Uiu2HAkz3qkpDZmqC8sdGCZghG7RWfGwd2ACAKWjRutqMvSSowZ 16Uiu2HAkxDbueSuUZ2Kd7YFF5fFjG1fCHLnTNfjexu6mGcgEdZoJ 16Uiu2HAm5FwCGb7MhYuw1ddto12LBhsc5bKfZ1XEjegUMBzAWbv4 3.

It’s time for your bi-weekly #DevUpdate 🛠️🟡 What have our Devs been up to these last two weeks? 🟡 Ticket redemption is fixed! 🚀🎫 The logic around ticket redemption has been flaky for a while, but has now been resolved. github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4382 🟡 We made some improvements to our release processes. 👏 Adding staging releases removes the need to publish a new release when making individual changes. github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4381 🟡 We also refactored our Docker pipeline, adding a baseline image which can be used to build all other Docker images. This makes the whole process faster and more reliable. 💪 github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4362 🟡 We made several UI updates within hopr admin: 1️⃣ Providing users with clearer messages when nodes run into errors: github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4375 2️⃣ Moving the warning message that HOPR is still under development to the header, so you’re not spammed with it anymore 😅 github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4372 🟡 We also fixed and clarified the reporting on payment channels: 1️⃣ Initial metrics are now updated correctly 2️⃣ A new metric now helps users monitor channel balances in each direction github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4374 🟡 Finally, our Rust migration is proceeding well 🤩 github.com/hoprnet/hoprnet/pull/4395 That’s all for this sprint – see you next time!

The results of the fifth HOPR DAO experiment are in! Huge thanks to the over 150 discussion participants and 339 voters. 🙏 Who says crypto governance has to have low participation rates? 👀 This time, the DAO was asked about allocating some of its liquidity to external liquidity managers. After an initial consultation phase managed by the HOPR Association, two projects were able to present proposals which worked for the HOPR token on the timelines required: @ArrakisFinance and @GammaStrategies After completing the three governance phases, the DAO decided to allocate 600k of liquidity evenly between both projects, to be performance assessed and reviewed after six months.We’ll now be talking with both teams to get things up and running ASAP. 🚀 Expect more updates and analysis of the results in around a week, along with reward distribution. Thanks again to everyone who participated, and particularly the two teams who were so proactive, transparent and gracious in the discussion. This was a real milestone in the HOPR DAO’s evolution, and a great sign of the strength of the HOPR community even in turbulent times! 😎

Dear Community The voting phase of the HOPR DAO v0.5 experiment is closed! We will soon reveal the results, present the analysis and distribute the participation rewards 👏 Thank you for participating and helping to shape the direction of HOPR and the HOPR token! 🤝

once the season has ended and follow the instructions from our blog. 📕 medium.com/hoprnet/b00007b4e4bf To better balance the reward distribution to favour active community members: 👉 the base rate has been reduced to 2.5% ⬇️ 👉 boost cap for NFTs has been raised to 200,000 ⬆️ As we move through the staking seasons, older NFTs are discontinued. For this season, only NFTs from Seasons 3, 4 and 5 will be eligible – Their boosts remain the same. Find the full list of discontinued NFTs in our blog. BUT season 5 will have its own NFTs! 👏 These will be more focused on node running to 👉 better reflect the current state of the protocol 👉 support our ongoing transition to HOPR’s final form, where rewards will be entirely linked to node running with the HOPR network To get access to these new NFTs, make sure you’re registered on our waitlist so you’re eligible to receive a Network Registry NFT. 🤩 🔗

twitter.com

🟡 The HOPR dev team was around all weekend to support our hackers

twitter.com

🟡 Education is key 🔑 That’s why day 1 was very educational, setting up all hackers for success with a @solidity_lang 101 session by our @SCBuergel

twitter.com

🟡 Day 2 and night 🌝 Hackers were coding on the bounties of HOPR and other co-organizers

twitter.com

🟡 We couldn’t be happier about what happened on day 3 💛

🟡 These guys did an absolute impressive job and joined our mission to change (wallet) privacy for good!

🟡I have been selected as a participant for the Monte Rosa release, how do I get started? First of all, thank you for your support! As an eligible participant, you should already have received a Network Registry NFT (NR NFT) to your staking wallet address. Follow these steps: - Check you have received the NR NFT on staking UI:

stake.hoprnet.org

If not, please ask for support in Telegram or Discord - Lock your NR NFT like any other HOPR Boost NFT - Install the Monte Rosa release - Start your node and get your node's peerID - Register your peer ID on the Network Registry smart contract - After successful registration, please fund your node. - You can find all these steps explained here:

docs.hoprnet.org

🟡How do I set up my node? First decide which device you want to setup your node on. Then visit the appropriate link: - Avado:

docs.hoprnet.org

- DAppNode (https://docs.hoprnet.org/node/using-dappnode) - Docker (https://docs.hoprnet.org/node/using-docker) 🟡Do I need to fund my node myself? Yes. You will have received some xDai and mHOPR tokens on Gnosis chain to your staking wallet address when you received your NR NFT. After successfully registering your node in the Network Registry smart contract, you will need to fund your node. To send mHOPR from your MM wallet you will need to import token into metamask: 0x66225dE86Cac02b32f34992eb3410F59DE416698 🟡How do I check that my node has been added to the Network Registry? - Go to the Network Registry smart contract:

blockscout.com

- Find row 4. isNodeRegisteredAndEligible, enter your node's peerID and click Query. If you see the response true, you can continue by funding your node. If you see the response false, please reach out to the moderators. 🟡My node has started, what should I do? Great! Now follow our tutorial and go through all the steps:

docs.hoprnet.org

🟡Why can't I see my node peerID on the network dashboard (https://network.hoprnet.org/) ? For peerID to appear on the network dashboard, we recommend to: - open payment channel with the other node - try to ping our pingbot nodes: 16Uiu2HAmTHiLF5msGmRzQDLZv1XLTSR3BcoDsn912JA5rVESupWb 16Uiu2HAkz3qkpDZmqC8sdGCZghG7RWfGwd2ACAKWjRutqMvSSowZ 16Uiu2HAkxDbueSuUZ2Kd7YFF5fFjG1fCHLnTNfjexu6mGcgEdZoJ 16Uiu2HAm5FwCGb7MhYuw1ddto12LBhsc5bKfZ1XEjegUMBzAWbv4 🟡Does Monte Rosa release have incentives? Of course! We will be giving out Monte Rosa NFTs for participating. Nodes will be scored based on uptime and at the end of the initial release rewards will be distributed as follows: - Top 25% receive a diamond NFT - 25-50% receive a gold NFT - 50-75% receive a silver NFT - Bottom 25% receive a bronze NFT 🟡How do I check my node is working properly? Please run through the following checklist: Run the info command - Does NetworkRegistry Eligibility show true? - Is Connectivity Status yellow or green? Run the peers command or click the HOPR logo in the top right - Can you see more than one peer? - Can you ping the peers in the list? 🟡Can I run more than one node with a given com NFT? During strict network limits, you are allowed to run only one node.

The first 30 access NFTs for our Monte Rosa release have been sent out to HOPR staking addresses! 🎉 If you're one of the recipients, please visit our docs to get started and learn how to help stress test the network:

docs.hoprnet.org

If you're not one of the first recipients, don't worry, we'll be expanding the registry as soon as we reach our stability goals. 🙏 You can see your position on the public waitlist here 👇

docs.google.com

We're opening a dedicate Monte Rosa channel on our Discord (https://discord.com/invite/dEAWC4G). If you'd like access, please revisit our signup form and add your Discord username:

forms.gle

You can see the status of Monte Rosa nodes by visiting

network.hoprnet.org

Please note that this currently shows the status of ALL nodes, including HOPR-run nodes and expired nodes. We'll be updating the site soon to allow you to filter only for community participants who are eligible for rewards.

With the release of Monte Rosa the HOPR DAO can fulfil another DAO promise, voted on in the second DAO experiment! 🤝 🟡 Grants for Node Runners and HODLrs 🟡 27,000 DAI will be distributed as part of the early phase of Monte Rosa testing: 👉 13,500 DAI will go to the first 100 node runners 👉 13,500 DAI will be split between the first 300 other addresses on the waitlist So make sure to register your interest if you want a share of these extra rewards: forms.gle/rHLwbXVZyATRuRmK7

Dear Community 💛 The day has come! – We're about to open up our latest release: Monte Rosa. 🇨🇭 To allow for incremental scaling, we have temporarily implemented a network registry with 30 slots for community access. This has been necessary because in previous releases, thousands of enthusiastic community members would join in the first hours and the nodes would stop functioning because of the load. As we reach our stability thresholds we hope to rapidly increase the number of available slots and also spin up parallel networks. 🚀 If you'd like to be one of the first 30 people to access Monte Rosa and earn rewards make sure to have 👉 staked at least 1,000 HOPR 👉 pre-register your interest by filling in this form: forms.gle/rHLwbXVZyATRuRmK7 There will also be priority access for owners of HOPR branded Avado and DAppNode devices 👀 Find out more about the network registry, how you can access it, and what rewards you can expect for participating in our blog 📕 medium.com/hoprnet/c5e0c2987cf1
