Any user looking for a protocol for sending tokens across rollups and their shared layer-1 network
About Hop Exchange
Hop 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 networks challenge period. It works by involving market makers (referred to as Bonder) who front the liquidity at the destination chain in exchange for a small fee. This credit is extended by the Bonder in form of hTokens which are then swapped for their native token counterpart in an AMM. It's hard to quantify security of a protocol but the core team of Hop has worked diligently on the protocol for over one year before releasing it to the public. The Hop core team has extensive experience in smart contract development. Before building Hop they were working as smart contract auditors for several years auditing popular protocols such as Augur, OpenZeppelin, Decentraland and DyDx and consequently built one of the first smart contract wallets in the Ethereum space called Authereum.
