# HWRs: Example Usage

> Hyperlane Warp Routes (HWR) define how assets move between chains, whether as native tokens, synthetic representations, or collateral-backed assets. The choice of route depends on the asset type and the desired behavior on the destination chain.

## Hyperlane Warp Route Combinations

### 1. Native to Native

This route allows for the transfer of native tokens between chains that both use their own native tokens.

<Info>
  This type of route should only be used when both networks have native tokens
  of equivalent value, e.g. inEVM & Ethereum.
</Info>

#### Setup

* **HypNative** contract deployed on both chains.

#### Example Flow

```
Transaction Type: Native to Native TransferFrom: Ethereum (ETH)To: inEVM (ETH)Amount: 1 ETH
```

#### Diagram

#### Use Case

* Alice wants to quickly move value from Ethereum to inEVM.

### 2. Native to Synthetic

This route creates a synthetic representation of a native token on another chain.

#### Setup

* **HypNative** contract deployed on the origin chain where the native asset exists.
* **HypERC20** contract deployed on the destination chain where the synthetic token is minted.

#### Example Flow

```
Transaction Type: Minting Synthetic Token from Native TokenFrom: Celo (CELO)To: Optimism (wCELO)Amount: 100 CELO
```

#### Diagram

#### Use Case

* A Celo-based project wants to make their native CELO token available for use on Optimism.

### 3. Collateral to Synthetic[​](#3-collateral-to-synthetic "Direct link to 3. Collateral to Synthetic")

This route allows for the creation of synthetic tokens based on collateralized ERC20 tokens.

#### Setup[​](#setup-2 "Direct link to Setup")

* **Collateral contract (HypERC20Collateral)** is deployed on the source chain where the original asset exists.
* **Synthetic contract (HypERC20)** is deployed on the destination chain, where the asset is minted.

#### Example Flow[​](#example-flow-2 "Direct link to Example Flow")

```
Transaction Type: Minting Synthetic Token from Collateral TokenFrom: Ethereum (USDC - Original Asset) - Collateral SourceTo: Arbitrum (wUSDC - Minted Synthetic Asset) - Synthetic DestinationAmount: 1000 USDC
```

#### Diagram[​](#diagram-2 "Direct link to Diagram")

#### Use Case[​](#use-case-2 "Direct link to Use Case")

* Alice wants to use her USDC on Arbitrum without moving actual USDC to Arbitrum or relying on Arbitrum's bridged USDC.
