Hyperlane protocol
Overview
Hyperlane is a permissionless interoperability protocol that enables developers to send arbitrary messages between blockchains without relying on third-party bridges. It operates as an EigenLayer actively validated service (AVS) to leverage restaked ETH for security, and its modular design allows custom configurations for different blockchain environments.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Hyperlane connects to 8 tracked entities, most strongly to EigenLayer, HYPER, and Symbiotic.

Frequently asked questions
What is Hyperlane?
Hyperlane is an open-source cross-chain messaging protocol that allows any blockchain to communicate with any other blockchain via a permissionless, modular architecture.
How does Hyperlane achieve security?
Hyperlane can use an EigenLayer AVS (actively validated service) to secure interchain message relaying via a set of validators who stake capital, providing economic security.
What is the difference between Hyperlane and a traditional bridge?
Unlike traditional bridges that rely on a fixed set of validators or oracles, Hyperlane is permissionless, allowing any developer to deploy and customize its interchain security modules (ISMs) and relayers.
What is Hyperlane connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Hyperlane is linked to 8 other tracked entities, most strongly to EigenLayer, HYPER, and Symbiotic.
