Developers use .xyz domains to build tools that connect blockchain ecosystems through cross-chain infrastructure. Interoperability-focused platform SEDA.xyz develops a framework for cross-chain transaction verification. Decentralized network Ika.xyz aims to simplify cross-chain development with programmable infrastructure. Web3 platform Omega.xyz aims to pioneer Bitcoin DeFi with cross-chain yield generation solutions. In this week’s #BlockchainThursday, we’ll introduce you to an interoperability protocol designed to support permissionless communication across blockchain environments: Hyperlane.xyz.

Inside Hyperlane’s interoperability model

Hyperlane.xyz is the online home of Hyperlane, an interoperability protocol designed to support permissionless communication between different blockchain environments. According to their documentation, the protocol enables message passing and asset transfers across chains without requiring centralized intermediaries or special approvals. It supports multiple virtual machines (including EVM, SVM, and CosmWasm) and is designed to help developers build cross-chain applications through configurable security modules. In September 2022, Hyperlane raised $18.5M in seed funding. The round was led by Variant with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, and other investors. In July 2025, the team introduced Hyperlane Warp Routes 2.0, which they describe as an update aimed at improving liquidity across multiple chains through native rebalancing (a process the team describes as automatically shifting liquidity between chains to help maintain balance).

Interoperability within a multi-chain ecosystem

Hyperlane fits into a field of blockchain projects focused on making decentralized systems more interconnected. As shared on Hyperlane.xyz, it provides permissionless deployment for layer 1s, rollups, and app-chains, and can be used to create token bridges or send general messages across chains. Hyperlane also supports interchain accounts, which allow a single account to execute smart contract calls on remote chains. The project positions interoperability as a foundational component for applications that operate across multiple blockchain ecosystems.

Leadership and development behind Hyperlane

According to LinkedIn, Hyperlane is led by core contributors at Abacus Works, the developer team behind the open-source framework. Abacus Works notes that its work aims to give developers tools to connect any chain and build applications that communicate across blockchain environments. Leadership includes CEO and co-founder Jon Kol and co-founder and CTO Nam Chu Hoai. Jon previously served as a Managing Director at Galaxy Digital, where he worked on investments in blockchain projects such as Radicle.xyz and ChaosLabs.xyz. Nam previously worked as a software engineer at cLabs, where he contributed to launching the Celo blockchain, and earlier held engineering roles at Wellframe.

Hyperlane.xyz: A forward-facing domain for an interoperability project

Hyperlane uses the domain Hyperlane.xyz as the primary address for its documentation and resources. The concise domain helps maintain a consistent identity across public materials and aligns with the growing number of blockchain projects using .xyz to communicate their work within the broader web ecosystem. You can learn more by following the platform on LinkedIn @hyperlane-xyz  and X/Twitter, joining the Discord, and visiting Hyperlane.xyz
