  1. Introduction

Getting started

Welcome to Hyperlane! Here are some resources to help you get started building on the modular interoperability stack.

For blockchain developers

Permissionless interoperability

If you have deployed your own chain or rollup and want interoperability for that chain, you can deploy Hyperlane to your chain. Here's how:

  • Deploy Hyperlane to the chain of your choice

  • Warp Routes enable token representations of popular tokens like ETH or USDC on your chain with a working UI out of the box.

For application developers

Once Hyperlane exists on your desired chains, you can use one of the APIs provided. For each of the APIs, we have Quickstarts that folks can use to quickly try out the APIs and see how easy it is to use them. We highly recommend trying the quickstarts first to get a feel for the APIs before diving into the API reference pages.

Accounts API

You can use the accounts API to have an account make function calls on another chain. For example, a DAO can easily own assets on other chains without needing any remote smart contracts.

  • Accounts quickstart

  • Accounts API reference

Queries API

You can use the queries API to read state from a remote chain. For example, you can read a price feed or ENS name on Ethereum from BSC.

  • Queriesquickstart

  • Queries API reference

Messaging API

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 for maximum flexibility.

  • Messaging quickstart

  • Messaging API reference

Example applications

  • Example apps

Hyperlane Explorer

The Explorer is an excellent tool that allows you to track the status of messages sent over Hyperlane, including messages from/to chains that you deployed Hyperlane on. The Exploreralso has an API that you can use to show the status in your user interface.

Help and support

If you're running into issues once you've begun using Hyperlane, such as messages not getting processed or delivered properly, transaction failures, or other issues check out the Troubleshooting/Developer FAQ pages.
