# Hyperlane

> Open Interoperability for Any Blockchain

Hyperlane helps you connect blockchains by providing permissionless cross-chain messaging and modular security.

Hyperlane helps developers build interchain applications by providing permissionless cross-chain messaging across multiple blockchain networks. Users can send messages between chains, transfer assets via Warp Routes, and deploy custom security modules. The protocol's modular security design allows applications to choose their own validator sets rather than relying on centralized intermediaries.

## Products

- [Warp Routes](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): Warp Routes are modular cross-chain asset bridges using lock-and-mint mechanisms, enabling token transfers between chains with customizable security models. The system supports ERC20, ERC721, and native tokens across multiple blockchain environments. (Bridge, Live)
- [Hyperlane AVS](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): Hyperlane AVS is a liquid staking platform for network security with EigenLayer integration, enabling HYPER token holders to stake and receive stHYPER while validators provide economic security for cross-chain message verification. (Liquid Staking, Live)
- [Hyperlane Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): Hyperlane is a permissionless cross-chain messaging protocol with smart contract mailboxes, enabling arbitrary message passing and asset transfers between blockchains. The system supports modular security configurations via Interchain Security Modules while maintaining compatibility across EVM, SVM, and CosmWasm environments. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live, Main Product)
- [Hyperlane Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): Hyperlane Explorer is a cross-chain message tracking and transaction monitoring, enabling users to view interchain message status, delivery confirmations, and cross-chain transaction history across all supported blockchain networks. (Block Explorer, Live)
- [Hyperlane CLI](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): Hyperlane CLI is a command-line deployment and management tool for Hyperlane contracts, enabling developers to deploy core contracts, configure Warp Routes, and manage cross-chain applications through terminal commands. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Hyperlane SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): Hyperlane SDK is a TypeScript development framework for building interchain applications, providing MultiProvider utilities, deployment abstractions, and contract interaction tools for cross-chain development workflows. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [Hyperlane (HYPER)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): HYPER is the utility token of Hyperlane, a permissionless cross-chain messaging protocol deployed on multiple blockchains. It is used for staking to secure validators that verify cross-chain messages, governance participation via the Hyperlane DAO, and paying cross-chain messaging fees. When staked, users receive stHYPER as a liquid staking receipt token that maintains liquidity while contributing to network security through delegation to validators on Symbiotic. (Utility)
- [Staked Hyperlane (stHYPER)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Hyperlane): stHYPER is a liquid staking token representing staked HYPER on the Hyperlane protocol. It is used to provide economic security to Hyperlane validators while maintaining liquidity for holders. Holders accumulate a HyperStreak by continuously holding stHYPER without transferring or withdrawing, unlocking boosted reward multipliers that incentivize long-term participation in securing cross-chain message verification. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
