Firstly, thank you for your proposal and your evident commitment to the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Introduction and Rationale
Synapse is seeking a grant of 2,000,000 ARB to enhance their asset bridging capabilities on Arbitrum. Already a strong presence with 40% of its TVL on Arbitrum, Synapse aims to make asset transfers faster and more cost-effective. Their proven track record of facilitating $8bn in total volume and engaging around 200,000 users on Arbitrum speaks volumes. We believe the proposal aligns well with Arbitrum’s broader goals, offering tangible benefits like gas and fee rebates to new users and developers.
