Hyperbridge Launches Its Mainnet on Polkadot, Unlocking Secure, Scalable Cross-Chain Communication

November 7, 2024 – Zurich, Switzerland

Hyperbridge launches on Polkadot with support for Ethereum, Optimism, BNB Chain and more.

Hyperbridge, the highly anticipated blockchain interoperability protocol, has officially launched, unlocking new possibilities for seamless cross-chain communication.

Following its $2.5 million seed funding led by the Web3 Foundation and Scytale Digital, Hyperbridge now brings its groundbreaking technology to users, delivering secure, scalable and verifiable cross-chain solutions across multiple blockchains.

Hyperbridge launches with native support for Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain and Gnosis.

The journey to Hyperbridge’s launch has been thorough, with the project completing two testnet cycles.

During these cycles, the following occurred.

• Over 600,000 cross-chain messages were processed across supported networks.
• Sixty-six independent relayers joined to facilitate message transfer across chains, validating the robustness of the network.

This extensive testing ensures a smooth mainnet experience, with Hyperbridge now equipped to provide unmatched cross-chain messaging and liquidity solutions.

At launch, Hyperbridge introduces a token bridge for asset transfers – Gateway, arbitrary message passing and state queries across multiple ecosystems.

Gateway offers the following.

• High security and finality guarantees, displacing traditional multisig-based authentication with ZK-proofs (zero-knowledge-proofs) and on-chain finality validation.
• Instant access to multi-chain liquidity, unlocking new DeFi use cases for DAOs, stablecoins and RWAs (real-world assets).

Security remains paramount to Hyperbridge’s design, addressing challenges faced by conventional multisig bridges that have previously resulted in over $2 billion in exploits.

Hyperbridge leverages ZK-light clients and storage proofs to authenticate messages, ensuring a security model equivalent to the blockchains it connects.

Seun Lanlege, founder of Polytope Labs, the developers of Hyperbridge, said,

“Bridges are only as strong as their authentication mechanisms.

“By leveraging finality-based authentication and eliminating multisig committees, Hyperbridge offers unmatched security, allowing developers to build the next generation of [DApps] (decentralized applications) with confidence.”

Hyperbridge enables developers to launch cross-chain applications from day one, supporting use cases such as the following.

• Non-custodial native bridges for unified liquidity pools.
• Cross-chain intents to facilitate seamless token interactions.
• Multi-chain expansion for stablecoins, RWAs and DAO governance tokens.

As blockchain adoption accelerates, interoperability becomes even more critical.

Hyperbridge aims to be at the forefront of this shift, offering developers and projects a reliable, secure and scalable cross-chain infrastructure that opens new frontiers for DeFi, DAOs and on-chain finance.
