[Temperature Check] HIP 6: Deploy a HOP bridge on Arbitrum Nova

This is a temperature check in line with current Hop governance process 2, intended to signal sentiment on this proposal which the result from gather feedback in the RFC phase over the past month.

Proposal

Deploy a HOP bridge on Arbitrum Nova.

Summary

Our team has appreciated the continual support from the Hop community for Arbitrum One! We wanted to reach out to see if Hop would be interested in supporting Nova bridging when we launch the chain.

Proposal

We would like Hop to deploy a bridge on Arbitrum Nova in order to support fast bridging.

Motivation

On Nova launch, Arbitrum will maintain a bridge between Ethereum and Arbitrum Nova. Yet, we would like to direct users to Hop and others for bridging between Arbitrum One and Nova for a seamless experience independent of L1 bridging.

About Arbitrum Nova

Arbitrum Nova, a new chain powered by Arbitrum’s AnyTrust technology, is now live on mainnet. While Arbitrum One, the Arbitrum rollup chain is already up to 97% cheaper than Ethereum for many transaction types, Nova has significantly lower transactions costs by utilizing a Data Availability Committee instead of posting all call data to Ethereum. This makes it perfect for gaming and social projects with cost-sensitive and/or high transaction volume use cases.
