HIP 8: Direct Velodrome veNFT votes to a WETH/HOP pool
Summary: This proposal would authorize the Hop Community Multisig to alter its prioritization of pools on Velodrome (on Optimism). Because this is merely a social consensus, this vote is only intended to go as far as Snapshot.

Recommendation: Vote Yes. Now that HOP is available on Optimism, this seems acceptable. It also makes sense to allow the multisig leeway in how best to manage Hop interests with regard to Velodrome pools.

[Temperature Check] HIP 9: Should the Hop Community Fund a Grants Program?
Summary: This proposal would authorize a 5-person committee to create a program for grants. Individual grants would not exceed 150,000 HOP.

Recommendation: Vote Yes. An easy way to provide small grants without extended governance timelines or using up too much bandwidth is necessary for the Hop ecosystem.

Disclosure: GFX Labs would serve as one of the 5 members of this committee
