Hyperlane Introduction
The permissionless interoperability layer built for modular blockchains
Hyperlane is the first universal and permissionless interoperability layer built for the modular blockchain stack.
Anyone can Deploy Hyperlane to any blockchain environment, whether it is a layer 1, rollup, or app-chain, allowing that chain to communicate seamlessly with any other chain on which Hyperlane has been deployed.
Hyperlane is designed with modularity in mind. Notably, its Interchain security modules gives developers control over their security model, allowing them to configure, compose, and customize security according to the needs of their application.
Using Hyperlane, developers can build Interchain Applications - dapps that span multiple blockchains. Some pre-built examples that can be deployed out of the box include:
- 1.
- 2.Interchain Accounts API, which allows an account on one chain (e.g. a DAO) to make smart contract calls on remote chains
- 3.

Check out the Getting started guide for everything you need to start building with Hyperlane. As a creator of a new Chain or Rollup, a Rollup Framework, or a Rollup Service, you can learn how to Deploy Hyperlane yourself!
