Hyperlane

Versioning

Note this is the branch for Hyperlane v3.

V2 is still in operation but is not being actively developed. The code for V2 can be found in the v2 branch.

V1 has since been deprecated in favor of V2, but if you are looking for code relating to the existing V1 deployments, refer to the v1 branch.

Overview

Hyperlane is an interchain messaging protocol that allows applications to communicate between blockchains.

Developers can use Hyperlane to share state between blockchains, allowing them to build interchain applications that live natively across multiple chains.

To read more about interchain applications, how the protocol works, and how to integrate with Hyperlane, please see the documentation.
