This is your Hackathon Guide to help you deploy your app Interchain, using our Permissionless Interoperability tools to help you expand your ideas on how to make your app more chain rich.
Check out or docs to get more complex ideas.
To interact with Hyperlane contracts you can use any of the following libraries:
These tools can be used to not only interact with Hyperlane contracts but to interact with any Web3 app.
Looking to send cross-chain message. Use our Quickstart tutorial to help you deploy simple send and receiver contract on any chains.
We have a set of helpful tools which you can easily integrate into your app and integrate it in your project:
- You can use the accounts API to have an account make function calls on another chain, like a DAO can own assets on other chains
- You could build a EIP-5164 implementation, Safe integration, Tally integration
- You can use the queries API to read state from a remote chain, for example read a price feed on Ethereum from BSC
- Anything that doesn't fit in the above, you can use Hyperlane messaging to send and receive arbitrary bytes between your contracts on different chains.
- Looking to have a representation of a token from one chain, on another? Use Warp routes to quickly create a bridge without writing any code
- Looking to do any of the above, but Hyperlane is not on there? You can use PD to deploy Hyperlane to that chain and then use that to have your app do stuff on there

Best use of Permissionless Interoperability
- To qualify you simply need to deploy Hyperlane on a new blockchain or rollup.
- How you utilize your newfound interoperability capabilities will dictate how likely you are to win the grand prize.
- Examples would include deploying to your own rollup created via Celestia, Optimism, Polygon, or any rollup toolkit you’d like to use.
- Permissionless Interoperability related submissions will be eligible for the other Hyperlane prizes
Best use of Hyperlane Warp Routes
- Warp Routes are Hyperlane’s unique take on token bridging. Each Warp Route has its own security model, using Hyperlane’s Interchain Security Modules. Most importantly, Warp Routes are completely permissionless. You can now bring any asset to any chain.
- To qualify for this prize you simply need to use Warp Routes in your submission.
- Here are some ideas about what you could do:
- Create the first bridge on a new chain! This would also make you eligible for the grand prize.
- Leverage Warp Route’d assets in an app of your design
- Use Warp Routes to create interchain NFTs or bridge existing collections
Write new Interchain Security Modules (ISMs)
- Hyperlane’s Modular Security Stack is premised on a variety of available Interchain Security Modules that developers can use to secure how applications can communicate between chains. While a few ISM’s are already available, and more are in the works, the hackathon is a great opportunity to build new ones. Some suggestions for ISMs Hyperlane developers would like to see:
- An Optimistic ISM; this would implement an ISM that secures messages with an Optimistic system, in the mold of the Optics protocol, one that allows for a challenge period of some time, during which a fraud proof can be submitted by anyone. A successful submission will include the ISM itself, and any necessary offchain agent software such as the Watchtower and any Relayer changes.
- A Telepathy ISM; the newly released Telepathy client allows for interchain messaging from Ethereum secured by ZK-SNARKs. A Telepathy ISM would use the Telepathy client to secure outbound messages from Ethereum. A successful submission will include the ISM itself, and any necessary changes to the Relayer.
- A Native/Rollup Bridge ISM; this ISM would leverage the native bridge for a rollup, i.e. the native Optimism or Arbitrum bridges, to secure messaging. A successful submission will include the ISM itself, and any necessary changes to the Relayer.
