MNTD.

MNTD. is a new brand created by RAKwireless (RAK) solely focused on making crypto-hardware accessible to everyday people. RAK is the same company that made the OG hotspots for Helium and has since manufactured the largest number of hotspots deployed to date. RAK hotspot have traditionally been sold through distributors. Often, distributors sell primarily to businesses and don’t focus just on crypto-hardware. While they surely sell to anyone who buys, we felt that miners for #ThePeoplesNetwork should have a people-first approach. We created MNTD. to offer a more consumer-friendly approach, great customer support and of course, no pre-orders and no broken promises. RAK will still use distributors for business customers, but MNTD. will focus on the “People” in #ThePeoplesNetwork.

ARPA Network

ARPA Network (ARPA) is a decentralized secure computation network built to improve the fairness, security, and privacy of blockchains. ARPA threshold BLS signature network serves as the infrastructure of verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), secure wallet, cross-chain bridge, and decentralized custody across multiple blockchains. ARPA was previously known as ARPA Chain, a privacy-preserving Multi-party Computation (MPC) network founded in 2018. ARPA Mainnet has completed over 224,000 computation tasks in the past years. Our experience in MPC and other cryptography laid the foundation for our innovative threshold BLS signature schemes (TSS-BLS) system design and led us to today’s ARPA Network. Randcast, a verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), is the first application that leverages ARPA as infrastructure. Randcast offers a cryptographically generated random source with superior security and low cost compared to other solutions.
