What is The Interop Endgame? With Hyperlane

Welcome to episode 17 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a further look into the interoperability endgame.

In today's video, we are focused on the technical design of Hyperlane's open framework for interoperability.

Joined by Jon Kol, we touched on why we believe that modular, horizontal scaling is key for the future of the crypto space and building towards that future is where Hyperlane is headed.

Recently, Hyperlane announced 'Supelane' in collaboration with Velodrome that brings consistent security across Superchain L2s. Superlane aims to create unified experiences with customizable security that scales as each chain develops and grow over time. We also discussed Hyperlane’s ISMs, which allow developers to pick and choose their security parameters, from basic setups to more sophisticated ZK bridging.

What was really particularly interesting was their idea of enabling insurance for bridging using EigenLayer.

Hyperlane is working to enable restakers to restake cryptoassets as a form of insurance for bridging as well as a security marketplace that lets you easily tap into trusted operators. We first heard of this idea earlier in the presentation series from Othentic, and its great to see it being built out as 'restaked interop' in Hyperlane.

As you know, the interoperability fight is raging on and we are all doing what we can to play a significant role in the future of a composable crypto ecosystem.

We're fighting the good fight, alongside great teams like Hyperlane.

Enjoy.
