Hyperlane
The permissionless interoperability layer connecting the modular ecosystem.
Overview
Hyperlane is a permissionless interoperability protocol that allows developers to connect any blockchain, including Layer-1s, rollups, and appchains. Its key feature is its permissionless nature, meaning anyone can deploy Hyperlane to a new chain without needing approval from the Hyperlane team. This makes it ideal for the rapidly expanding modular blockchain ecosystem.
✨ Key Features
- Permissionless deployment to any chain
- Interchain messaging API
- Interchain Accounts for calling functions across chains
- Modular security with Interchain Security Modules (ISMs)
- Designed for the modular blockchain future
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Permissionless deployment empowers developers to connect any chain
- Modular security allows applications to define their own security models
- Specifically designed for the emerging modular and appchain ecosystem
Unique Value: Offers unparalleled flexibility and speed for connecting new blockchains to the interchain, empowering developers in the modular ecosystem to build interconnected applications without permission.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Providing the primary interoperability layer for chains in the Celestia and Cosmos ecosystems to connect with EVM chains.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Simple asset transfers between major chains where a dedicated bridge might be easier for end-users.
🏆 Alternatives
While other protocols require their governance to approve adding new chains, Hyperlane's permissionless design makes it faster and more adaptable to the rapidly growing number of new rollups and appchains.
