Binance has just announced Hyperlane (HYPER) as the latest project featured in the HODLer Airdrops program, offering an opportunity for BNB holders to receive new tokens.
On April 21, Binance revealed that Hyperlane (HYPER) is the 15th project to be included in the HODLer Airdrops initiative. Hyperlane is a permissionless cross-chain interoperability protocol that enables communication between different blockchain environments.
A total of 20 million HYPER tokens—equivalent to 2.49% of the initial total supply—were already airdropped to users who subscribed BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yields between April 14 and April 17. TTokenswere distributed to users’ Spot wallets before trading begins.
Hyperlane (HYPER) is already listed on Binance at 13:00 on April 22, with trading pairs including USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY. The token is labeled as a “Seed” project, indicating higher risk due to its early-stage nature.
This initiative is part of Binance’s effort to reward BNB holders through products like Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields, while simultaneously promoting the Hyperlane project in the market.
What is Hyperlane (HYPER)?
Hyperlane is a cross-chain connectivity protocol that allows different blockchains to communicate and transfer data without intermediaries. With its permissionless architecture, Hyperlane enables developers to build multi-chain applications, enhancing flexibility and scalability across the blockchain ecosystem.
By breaking down blockchain silos, Hyperlane supports fast and secure message passing. With a total supply of 1 billion tokens and 177.7 million in circulation at TGE, HYPER is designed to promote widespread adoption. Chains like SonicSVM and Lumia have already chosen Hyperlane as their default bridge, reinforcing the protocol’s strength and reliability.
Hyperlane’s standout feature is its versatile architecture, supporting a wide range of use cases—from cross-chain DeFi to NFT bridging and decentralized governance. This positions Hyperlane as a multi-functional infrastructure layer for Web3.
Tokenomics and distribution
👉Initial supply: 802.66 million HYPER
👉Maximum supply: 1 billion HYPER
👉Annual inflation: 8 million (1% in the first year, gradually decreasing)
👉Circulating supply at listing: 175.2 million HYPER (21.83% of initial supply)
👉Supported networks: Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum
Hyperlane made an impact by launching the Expansion Drop during its TGE, distributing 6.25% of the total supply to early adopters who had sent over 8.6 million messages before the end of February.
85% of rewards went directly to end users, with 15% retained by application teams, reinforcing a community-first ecosystem.
Blockchains that integrate Hyperlane as a standard bridge receive a 25% bonus reward, encouraging network expansion and broader adoption of the protocol.
The HyperStreak mechanism further motivates sustained engagement. Users who hold staked HYPER (stHYPER) and actively utilize the protocol can earn up to 1.6x in reward multipliers if they begin staking from TGE.
This not only fosters user loyalty but also creates a positive feedback loop, tying protocol usage to long-term value creation.
Token allocation
🔥Community (57%): Includes quarterly expansion rewards, strategic liquidity releases, grants, and staking incentives
🔥Hyperlane Foundation Treasury (7.1%): Funds long-term research, development, and ecosystem growth
🔥Core team & early investors (35.9%): Subject to a 3-year vesting schedule to ensure alignment with protocol development over short-term profit
The Hyperlane Foundation actively enhances rewards for innovative integrations and blockchains that adopt Hyperlane as a standard, reflecting its strategic approach to network expansion.
With strategic partnerships and deep integrations, Hyperlane is reinforcing its leadership position in the blockchain interoperability space, promising long-term value for both the community and investors.
How to participate in Binance’s HYPER HODLer Airdrops
Binance’s HODLer Airdrops program rewards users based on their historical BNB balance. To be eligible, users simply need to subscribe BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yields.
Binance will take random snapshots of BNB balances during prior timeframes to calculate rewards. For instance, an airdrop announced on May 15 may be based on balances held between some dates in April. Rewards are distributed to users' Spot wallets within 24 hours of the announcement.
To ensure fairness, BNB holdings are capped at 4% of a user’s average total balance.
Binance’s launch of Hyperlane (HYPER) through the HODLer Airdrops program presents an exciting opportunity for BNB holders. With its promising protocol, Hyperlane is poised to contribute significantly to blockchain development.
Users are advised to exercise caution, conduct their own research, and follow Binance’s recommendations to ensure asset safety.
