Proposal: Fast Bridging Support For SNX And sUSD
Summary: This poll is to conduct a temperature check of adding fast bridging support for SNX and sUSD between Ethereum and Optimism. Initial liquidity would be seeded by Synthetix, with the expectation of Hop incentivizing the pairs with OP and possibly HOP.
Recommendation: Vote Yes. Synthetix is one of – if not the – most important protocols on Optimism. Becoming the bridge of choice for Synthetix assets to move between Optimism and Ethereum would further position Hop strategically as a major bridging provider between the two. Synthetix’s willingness to seed bonders on L1 also lowers the cost.

This program is designed to sunset after 6 months in order to force Hop governance to evaluate its effectiveness and the parameters selected.
Recommendation: Vote Yes. GFX Labs co-authored this proposal with @francom and @fig.
