About Hopbits

Hopbits is an internet measurement network in active rollout. This website lets you learn about the network, create an account, link Linux and Docker measurement nodes, and configure uptime and latency checks. By using Hopbits you agree to these terms.

Evolving features

Hopbits is actively developing and expanding network capacity. Features, limits, and roadmap items described on the site may evolve, change, or be adjusted as the network scales.

Accounts and nodes

Register only with an email address you control and keep your password, API keys, and enrolment tokens confidential. You may run the Hopbits Linux or Docker client only on hosts and networks where you have permission to do so.

You can unbind nodes, revoke tokens, or request account closure at any time; the privacy policy explains how.

Points

Contribution points record validated measurement work, reliability, and useful network coverage according to published network rules, which may be refined to prevent abuse or Sybil manipulation.

Points record contribution to the network. They are not a financial product, nothing on this site is an offer to sell or an invitation to buy one, and nothing here is financial, legal, or tax advice.

Acceptable use

Do not interfere with Hopbits infrastructure, spoof or tamper with signed node results, probe targets you are not authorized to monitor beyond permitted public reachability checks, or use automated abuse against authentication or API endpoints.

Content and names

The Hopbits name, mark, text, and design belong to the Hopbits project. The maps are drawn from Natural Earth public domain data, and the typefaces are used under the SIL Open Font License.

Docker and Linux are trademarks of their owners. They are named only to describe what we support or use, and no endorsement is implied.

No warranty

Hopbits is provided as it is. We work to keep the service accurate and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. As far as the law allows, Hopbits is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from using the site or service.

Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.

Changes

We may update these terms as Hopbits develops. The date beside them shows the latest version.
