Partnership with zkVerify to take cheap zkVerification multichain
Nexus Mainnet
Hyperbridge goes live on mainnet, connecting Ethereum, BNB, Base, Arbitrum, Gnosis and Optimism
Initial Relayer Offering
The initial relayer offering allows relayers acquire the BRIDGE token to continue their operations once Hyperbridge transitions to a fully permissionless protocol
TGE
BRIDGE token goes live.
ISMP for Alt-VMs
Development of ISMP for Move, CosmWasm and Aiken (Cardano).
Development of new conensus verifiers for Aptos, Sui and Tendermint.
Decentralization
Decentralized Governance goes live
Relayer staking allowing relayers to share in protocol revenue
BLS BEEFY
Deployment of BLS BEEFY light client making room for fully decentralized consensus relayers subsidized by the protocol
Hyperbridge Expansion
Hyperbridge expands to support Aptos, Polygon and Cosmos
ZKCasper Deployment
Deployment of ZKCasper, establishing Hyperbridge as the most secure bridge to Ethereum
Web2 Interoperability
The final frontier of interoperability, the inevitable merging of Web2 with Web3 that unlocks new real-world applications for blockchains and crypto
