  • Is your protocol OP Native?: No. We support Optimism with bridging to/from OP since Dec 2022 though.
  • Was your protocol active in Optimism governance prior to 12/5/22?:
  • Why do you want to participate in this program?:
    • Understanding incentivization for the growth of ecosystems through grants is one of the topics we’ve had a lot of exposure to and are deeply passionate about. We’ve been able to launch with the help of several grant programs in the past and have now even set up giving out grants ourselves.
      We’d love to support the OP ecosystem with their grant application process and make sure the ones which benefit the ecosystem the most get the according contributions.
  • Why do you believe your protocol would be a good steward of the Optimism ecosystem?:
    • LI.FI enables a multi-chain future by aggregating different paths (bridges) between ecosystems and therefore allowing the most simple and straightforward bridging experience to and from the OP ecosystem. We allow dApps on Optimism to be cross-chain compatible and dApps across chains to easily onboard OP users. We have deep awareness of the challenges of navigating between different chains, L1/L2s, what important infrastructural problems are essential to tackle and how much value new protocols can add.
  • Do you agree to abide by the delegate code of conduct: Yes
  • Please list any anticipated conflicts of interest: other bridge aggregators
