1/ Hop’s first liquidity mining program is LIVE 🚀

Liquidity providers in the bridge AMM’s can now stake their LP tokens to earn $HOP rewards in addition to the trading fees they were earning previously.

Get ready for some very juicy rewards on single-sided asset exposure 💦 2/ In total, 2m $HOP will be distributed to LPs per month.

Since $HOP is now a multichain token, the rewards can be claimed directly on each network you are on.

And of course, $HOP tokens can also be bridged across L2’s on @HopProtocol at minimal cost.

The @optimismFND Hop Quest is now live!

Provide liquidity on any of the Hop AMM’s on Optimism & meet the liquidity requirements to claim your special Hop NFT ✨ Progress is counted in “dollar-days” or “eth-days”.

Either you provide little liquidity for many days OR a lot of liquidity for few days.

The choice is yours.

Examples:

$USDC/ $DAI/ $USDT
* $100 for 365 days
* $200 for 6 months
* $400 for 3 months
* $1,200 for 1 month

Now that claiming is live, we wanted to highlight some of the Hop delegate applicants and highlight the individual contributions of some delegates you may not have considered. First, we’re incredibly impressed with quality of applicants.

It’s great to see Ethereum community regulars like @superphiz, @krzKaczor (@L2Beat), @dmihal, @lefterisjp, and more.

These folks have Ethereum and Hop’s best interest in mind and know their way around a DAO.

Drop it like it’s HOP.

You can now claim your tokens ladies and gents 🔥 Claims are on Ethereum mainnet and the contract address is:

"0xc5102fe9359fd9a28f877a67e36b0f050d81a3cc"

As we’ve received this question numerous times: the initial circulating supply (provided everybody claims) is 54.8m HOP.

Link to claim: app.hop.exchange/airdrop

The wait is (almost) over: tomorrow you’ll be able to claim your $HOP tokens.

An official announcement will be made when the claim site is live tomorrow.

Details👇 The official $HOP contract address is:

“0xc5102fE9359FD9a28f877a67E36B0F050d81a3CC”

etherscan.io/token/0xc5102f…

Airdrop details 👇

• 3.35% to users of the Hop bridge (min. 2 bridge txs and $1,000 of volume)
• 2% to LP's
• 2% to Bonders (1 year lockup)
• 0.1% to active community members (Discord & Twitter)
• 0.05% to external Hop contributors
• 0.5% to @authereum users

& more Knowing how important a healthy token distribution is for a DAO we worked hard to remove sybil attackers from the distribution.

Sybil attackers stand directly at odds with a healthy distribution and attempt to take tokens that should be in the hands of positive-sum users.

Gm Hop DAO 👋

Today, Hop begins its journey to become core Ethereum infrastructure, operated and controlled by our community. Over the last year we launched and battle tested the protocol.

We needed a certain degree of control to iterate quickly.

Now it is time to take things to the next level and turn Hop into the public good it was always intended and deserves to be.

1/ Gm everyone ☀️

Our twitter has been quiet the past two weeks so it’s time for an update.

First off, the growth of the Layer-2 ecosystem is astonishing.

As an Ethereum bridge Hop thrives and dies with the success of L2’s. From fiat on-ramps to @arbitrum coming from major centralised exchanges to EVM equivalence for @Optimism and removal of the whitelist: all the pieces are falling into place and we’re starting to see a cambrian explosion of innovation.

Ethereum is scaling and Hop is bridging the gaps🐰

Say hello to Hoptimism: the first fast bridge connecting @optimismPBC to Ethereum and other scaling solutions.

Transfer assets in and out of Optimism in minutes ⚡️

hop.exchange Today, users can send $USDC & $USDT from Optimism to Ethereum, @xdaichain and @0xPolygon (more assets coming soon😜).

We can't wait for users of @synthetix_io, @lyrafinance, @1inch, @Uniswap, @RariCapital and other apps on L2 to start using our bridge.
