Introducing Hop Rails
We're excited to announce Hop Rails, a better bridge. Trustlessness and decentralization are losing in today’s bridge landscape. Existing bridge designs all face the same capital efficiency bottleneck — message times. Trusted bridges win out on price with immediate message times, and trustless bridges have turned to less secure messaging solutions to keep up. Rails offers an alternative — a permissionless and trustless bridge protocol settled by users themselves. 💡 Rails achieves the be...

Introducing Hop DAO
Hop was built to be core Ethereum infrastructure and serve as a public good. We’re decentralizing the governance of Hop Protocol by turning it over to Hop DAO where it can be community owned and operated.Hop DAOHop DAO will govern the ongoing growth and direction of Hop Protocol. Over the coming weeks, our team at Hop Labs will be transitioning control of Hop Protocol to the DAO. The Hop DAO will govern day-to-day functions including:The layer-2 networks and non-Ethereum chains that Hop suppo...

Building Bridges
Almost two years ago, DeFi summer was roaring, and Ethereum gas prices were hitting debilitating heights. We watched as the users of our wallet, Authereum, were getting priced out and leaving for cheaper but often more centralized chains. It had become increasingly clear that Ethereum needed to scale as soon as possible.Early DaysWe had already integrated Authereum with several existing L2s but quickly realized our approach wouldn’t scale for the masses.
