Motivations: At the dawn of SynapseRFQ, SynapseX, and SynapseCCTP all launching and gaining market share, we should re-evaluate Synapse DAO emissions to be more capital efficient, and encourage the use of bridge modules that offer cheaper quotes without SYN spend.
Current SYN spend is as follows:
Arbitrum - 142,560 BSC - 51,429 Polygon - 32,400 Optimism - 51,840 Canto - 21,429 Avalanche - 17,143 Base - 57,024 Metis - 15,000
Total: 388, 825

Proposal: Reduce Polygon emissions by 40% to 20,000 SYN /mo Reduce Base emissions by 25% to 38,880 SYN/mo Reduce Arbitrum emissions by 10% to 128,304 SYN /mo Reduce Optimism emissions by 20% to 41,472 SYN/mo Reduce Avalanche emissions by 30% to 12,000 SYN /mo Reduce Canto emissions by 60% to 6,000 SYN/mo
