Hyperlane

    What is Hyperlane?

    Hyperlane is an interoperability protocol that enables seamless communication between different blockchain networks. It functions as a universal and permissionless interoperability layer, allowing any blockchain – whether it’s a layer 1, rollup, or app-chain – to connect and interact with other chains where Hyperlane is deployed.

    The protocol stands out for its modular approach to cross-chain communication. A key feature is its interchain security modules, which give developers precise control over their security model. This allows teams to customize and configure security parameters based on their specific application requirements.

    As a prominent player in the cross-chain infrastructure space, Hyperlane has secured $20 million in funding from established investors including Galaxy Digital, CoinFund, Circle, Figment, Blockdaemon, Kraken Ventures, and NFX.
