> This Open Analytic Article would mainly focus in Hop protocol on Optimism, specifically, we will present about Liquidity Providing and Bridging activities of users in past 2 months (Longest time span that we can query) to help indicate health of this protocol and Optimism chain, since Hop is very popular protocol in Optimism.

Liquidity Providing
Overall statistics
- In past 2 months, there is LP added about 1.55M USD
- and there is LP removed 5.7M USD
- causing Total TVL change by -4.15M USD
Overall statistic by tokens
- Most of LP added is Hop-LP-ETH, 1.04M USD, which is 67% of all tokens value added
- Most of LP removed is Hop-LP-USDC, 3.82M USD, which is 67% of all tokens value removed
- It is interesting that add and remove LP behavior are different considered by LP-tokens
- These 2 donut charts look very similar in shape but
- Hop-LP-ETH fraction is opposite to that of Hop-LP-USDC
- and Hop-LP-USDT fraction is opposite to that of Hop-LP-DAI
Daily Accumulated statistics
- Accumulated LP removal value is larger than LP added from time to time
- Especially on July 28, there is high volume of LP removed
- Not only LP volume, but also Tx count of LP removal is always larger significantly, about 4 times larger.
Daily statistics
-
LP adding activity is quite low during July
-
We can see users add LP volume in USDC and USDT more lately
-
LP remove Tx count by tokens pattern is quite stable; ETH and USDC > USDT and DAI
-
while in LP add Tx count, the pattern is more unpredictable
\
L1-L2 bridging
Overall statistics
- In past 2 months, there is token value bridged from Ethereum to Optimism about 30.5M USD
- and there is token value bridged out of Optimism to Ethereum about 56.7M USD
- causing Total value bridged out of Optimism 26.2M USD
Overall statistic by tokens
- Most of token value bridged in is USDC, 0.54M USD, which is 56% of all tokens value bridged in
- Most of token value bridged out is ETH, 3.82M USD, which is 55% of all tokens value bridged out
- It is interesting that Bridging in and out behavior are different considered by tokens
- These 2 donut charts look very similar in shape but
- ETH fraction is opposite to USDC
- and USDT fraction is opposite to DAI
Daily Accumulated statistics
- Accumulated token bridged out value is larger than bridged in from time to time
- Not only token volume, but also Tx count of bridging out is always larger significantly
- Especially, right before July, there were very high Tx volume of Bridging out
Daily statistics
- Bridging activity is quite low since July
- Especially, Tx count of Bridging out drops sharply since July, but still higher than that of Bridging in
- ETH and USDC have high Tx count and value from time to time
- while that of USDT and DAI are very low

Conclusions
In past 2 months
Liquidity Providing
- Users add LP by 1.55M USD, and remove LP by 5.7M USD.
- Remove amount and Tx count is higher that add from time to time, and tends to get higher
- Most of LP added is Hop-LP-ETH, 1.04M USD, which is 67% of all tokens value added
- Most of LP removed is Hop-LP-USDC, 3.82M USD, which is 67% of all tokens value removed
- DAI and USDT LP have very low Tx count and value
L1-L2 Bridging
-
Users bridge in by 30.5M USD, and bridge out 56.7M USD
-
Bridge out amount and Tx count is higher that Bridge in from time to time, and tends to get higher
-
Most of token value bridged in is USDC, 0.54M USD, which is 56% of all tokens value bridged in
-
Most of token value bridged out is ETH, 3.82M USD, which is 55% of all tokens value bridged out
-
DAI and USDT have very low Tx count and value
It seems like LP providing and Bridging activities dropped in July and are coming back.
Statistically, token value is being taken back to L1 blockchain as Bridge out volume is higher than Bridge in.
And TVL in Hop is decreasing as, in total, LP keeps being removed.
