# Hyperbridge > Hyperscalable, Verifiable Interoperability Hyperbridge enables cross-chain messaging between blockchains through cryptographic proofs and zero-knowledge verification without trusted intermediaries. Hyperbridge is a cross-chain interoperability protocol that facilitates secure asset transfers and message passing between blockchains through cryptographic consensus proofs and state verification. Built as a Polkadot parachain, the protocol eliminates multisignature committees by using zero-knowledge light clients to verify blockchain finality directly. Relayers operate permissionlessly to transmit cross-chain messages while earning fees paid by users. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-11-02 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/hyperbridge ## Products - [Hyperbridge Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hyperbridge): Hyperbridge Protocol verifies consensus and state proofs from connected blockchains, aggregating cross-chain messages into single zero-knowledge proofs that any blockchain can verify. The system operates as an interoperability coprocessor on Polkadot, processing finality proofs and state transitions across parachain cores to enable scalable cross-chain communication without trusted intermediaries. (Bridge, Live, Main Product) - [Intents Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hyperbridge): Intents Bridge facilitates cross-chain token swaps through intent-based order routing with automatic liquidity optimization. Users state desired swap outcomes and liquidity providers fill orders across chains while Hyperbridge verifies execution through cryptographic proofs. The system includes permissionless refund mechanisms for failed swaps and instant redemption for liquidity providers. (DEX Aggregator , Live) - [Hyperbridge SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hyperbridge): Hyperbridge SDK provides Solidity and TypeScript interfaces for building cross-chain applications with cryptographic security guarantees. Developers use POST requests to send verifiable messages across chains and GET requests to read remote blockchain state directly. The toolkit includes built-in proof handling, lifecycle management, gas estimation, and testing utilities for Ethereum and WebAssembly smart contract environments. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Hyperbridge Parachain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hyperbridge): Hyperbridge Parachain is a Polkadot parachain operating with ParaId 3367 and chainId 'nexus' on mainnet. Block candidates are produced by collators and submitted with proofs to Polkadot relay chain validators, which re-execute state transitions to confirm correctness. Finality is inherited from the Polkadot relay chain through this validation process. Each collator additionally runs an in-node fisherman task that monitors connected L2 state across multiple independent RPC providers, submitting a veto when providers disagree on L2 state before Hyperbridge commits to that height. Collator selection is determined by a reputation asset accumulated through prior relayer and prover contributions, with each authored block rewarding the collator 0.7 BRIDGE from the network treasury. (L2, Live) ## Assets - [Hyperbridge (BRIDGE)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/hyperbridge): BRIDGE is the native utility token of the Hyperbridge protocol on Polkadot. It is used to pay transaction fees, compensate relayers for cross-chain message delivery, and participate in governance through stake-weighted voting. Holders stake BRIDGE to secure the network and earn fees from cross-chain operations, aligning token economics with the protocol's role in aggregating messages from multiple blockchains into verifiable zero-knowledge proofs.
