Hyperbridge is a Polkadot rollup and a cryptoeconomic coprocessor for secure, verifiable interoperability, providing on-chain and off-chain SDKs for cross-chain messaging (POST) and storage reads (GET). The project has launched its mainnet and the Gateway Token Bridge, enabling secure, scalable cross-chain token transfers, messaging, and state queries. It integrates with ecosystems including Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, zkVerify, Gnosis, and Bifrost, positioning the protocol for adoption by developers, DAOs, and DeFi projects. Hyperbridge sold over 52 million of its 100 million-token supply in an Initial Relayer Offering (IRO) and has extended the IRO deadline to February 28, 2025; the Token Generation Event is scheduled for Q1 2025. Early participants claimed a 50% bonus and a remaining 15% bonus is still available, indicating strong early demand. The BRIDGE token will be used to pay minimal transaction fees for cross-chain messages, storage queries, and state reads; fees fund incentives and rewards for relayers and block producers, the token is planned to have zero inflation, and it will also be used for governance. Hyperbridge is a blockchain interoperability protocol that launched its mainnet on Polkadot to enable secure, scalable, and verifiable cross‑chain communication. Developed by Polytope Labs, Hyperbridge ships native support for Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, and Gnosis, and provides on‑chain and off‑chain SDKs for messaging and storage reads. At launch it introduces Gateway, a token bridge plus arbitrary message passing and state query tooling that displaces multisig-based authentication with zk-proofs, zk-light clients, and storage proofs to achieve finality‑based security. The project completed two testnet cycles that processed more than 600,000 cross‑chain messages and enlisted 66 independent relayers, metrics cited to validate network robustness. Target use cases include non‑custodial native bridges, cross‑chain intents, multichain expansion for stablecoins, real‑world assets, DAO governance tokens, and other DeFi applications. Financially, Hyperbridge closed a $2.5M seed round led by the Web3 Foundation and Scytale Digital prior to the mainnet launch.
