Hyperlane

Getting Started

1. Explore the docs — Visit docs.hyperlane.xyz to understand the protocol architecture and supported chains.
2. Choose your use case — Decide whether you need token bridging, token issuance, or general interchain messaging for your application.
3. Deploy the contracts — Use the Hyperlane CLI to deploy the protocol to any supported chain, or permissionlessly to a new chain.
4. Build your app — Integrate the Hyperlane SDK into your frontend or backend to send messages and tokens across chains.

Key Features

• Permissionless deployment — Anyone can deploy Hyperlane to a new blockchain without approval, enabling rapid expansion to new ecosystems.
• 150+ chain support — Connects a wide range of EVM-compatible chains, rollups, and alternative VMs across 7 different virtual machine environments.
• Token bridging & issuance — Supports bridging existing tokens as well as natively issuing new tokens across multiple chains from day one.
• Interchain messaging — Send arbitrary data between chains, enabling complex cross-chain application logic beyond simple asset transfers.
• Modular security — Customize the trust and security model for your application using configurable interchain security modules (ISMs).
• Open-source — Fully open-source codebase available on GitHub, allowing community contributions and independent audits.
