There was some discussion around the formation of an incentives committee to help evaluate these decisions on the last community call.
In strictly my own opinion and speaking generally, incentives make sense when bootstrapping new markets or in immature markets where incentives can help grow or maintain marketshare until the market matures. There are many cases of this working well but also many cases of it not and an incentive management committee could help manage where to draw the line.
I also wanted to flag an added benefit of further decentralizing the HOP token supply and expanding the HOP token holder base. Treasure is one the largest if not the largest L2 NFT communities. Getting some HOP into the hands of MAGIC holders that provide liquidity for the bridge could help further align the two communities on top of the existing common incentive to drive L2 adoption.
Hope this provides some context but encourage anyone that wants to make a case for the other side to chime in here too.
