On Zipp since 2026

Hydra is a proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain that combines elements drawn from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Qtum. It operates on a UTXO accounting model similar to Bitcoin, while incorporating EVM compatibility as an additional layer, allowing it to support smart contracts and decentralized application development. This hybrid architecture is designed to merge the security and simplicity of Bitcoin's transaction model with the programmability of Ethereum-based networks. As a smart contract platform, Hydra aims to provide a foundation for building decentralized applications while leveraging the efficiency of proof-of-stake consensus.
