Hyperlane is a permissionless, open standard for blockchain interoperability—powering seamless cross-chain messaging. With a suite of open-source tools, developers can effortlessly connect apps, assets, and chains across any blockchain or virtual machine (VM), all supported by an engaged community and strong developer support.
What is Hyperlane?
Hyperlane connects 170+ chains, supporting major VMs including EVM (Bittensor), SVM, Cosmos, Starknet, and ZKsync, with upcoming support for Move and TON.
