Hyperlane introduction

Hyperlane is the first universal and permissionless interoperability layer built for the modular blockchain stack.

Anyone can deploy-hyperlane.md to any blockchain environment, whether it is a layer 1, rollup, or app-chain, allowing that chain to communicate seamlessly with any other chain on which Hyperlane has been deployed.

Hyperlane is designed with modularity in mind. Notably, its sovereign-consensus gives developers control over their security model, allowing them to configure, compose, and customize security according to the needs of their application.

Using Hyperlane, developers can build Interchain Applications - dapps that span multiple blockchains. Some pre-built examples that can be deployed out of the box include:

  1. deploy-warp-route, which allow native, ERC20, and ERC721 tokens to move seamlessly across chains
  2. Interchain accounts.md, which allows an account on one chain (e.g. a DAO) to make smart contract calls on remote chains
  3. Interchain query.md, which allow an account on one chain to make view calls on remote chains

Keep reading to learn all the things Hyperlane can do for you!

Integrate Hyperlane into your chain, rollup, or app

Check out the getting-started.md guide for everything you need to start building with Hyperlane. As a creator of a new Chain or Rollup, a Rollup Framework, or a Rollup Service, you can learn how to deploy-hyperlane.md yourself!
