Hop Protocol is a scalable rollup-to-rollup general token bridge. It allows users to send tokens from one rollup or sidechain to another almost immediately without having to wait for the network's challenge period. It currently supports bridging assets across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and xDai.

As already guessed in our retroactive airdrop overview, Hop Protocol is airdropping 8% of the total supply to early users of the platform. Users who’ve used bridge at least two times with at least $1,000 volume, liquidity providers, bonders, top 500 Hop Discord participants and 79 Twitter users who were early evangelists for Hop, external Hop contributors, and past Authereum users with deployed accounts by the snapshot date are eligible to claim the airdrop. The snapshot was taken on April 1st at 12:00 am UTC.
