Hop Protocol

Hop Protocol is a multi-chain token bridge focused on fast, low-cost transfers between Ethereum mainnet and major Layer 2 networks. Using bonders who front liquidity for near-instant transfers and later settle on-chain, Hop delivers significantly faster bridging than canonical bridges requiring long withdrawal periods. As HyperEVM grows alongside the broader L2 ecosystem, Hop provides a seamless corridor for users moving USDC, ETH, and other tokens from Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon into Hyperliquid.

Bridge and cross-chain infrastructure connects Hyperliquid to the broader crypto ecosystem, enabling asset transfers between chains. Hop Protocol operates in this critical category that facilitates capital inflows from Ethereum, Arbitrum, and other networks. As Hyperliquid's DeFi ecosystem grows, efficient bridging infrastructure becomes essential for attracting liquidity and users from other chains.
