Hyperlane is your gateway to SVM expansion. With fast token bridging, multichain asset issuance, and customizable security - Hyperlane equips SVM builders with the tools they need to bootstrap ecosystem liquidity, onboard new users and developers, and go multichain from day one.
Leading SVM builders - including Eclipse, Soon, and Sonic - already rely on Hyperlane to accelerate ecosystem growth.
If it’s SVM, Hyperlane will be there.
Your Gateway To SVM Expansion
SVM Expansion is well underway. Between new L1s, L2s, app-chains, sovereign rollups — the SVM ecosystem is evolving well beyond Solana today.
Regardless of their architecture, the new generation of SVM chains - as with any other ecosystem today - all share the need for open, permissionless interoperability. They need a way to bootstrap liquidity, onboard new users, and attract new applications and developers - all of which requires connecting to other chains and ecosystems.
Since Hyperlane’s deployment to Solana, it has evolved into essential, battle-tested infrastructure for the SVM ecosystem, facilitating over $600 million in bridging volume across 400k+ messages in and out of Solana.
Here's what SVM builders can do with Hyperlane, the gateway for SVM Expansion:
Token Bridging With Warp Routes
Warp Routes are crosschain bridges that enable token transfers between chains using Hyperlane. They are entirely permissionless to deploy, customizable to teams’ specific business needs, and natively integrated into Hyperlane’s message passing protocol.
Today, SVM builders can deploy Warp Routes between:
- SVM Chains ↔️ Solana
- SVM Chains ↔️ SVM Chains
- SVM Chains ↔️ EVM Chains
- SVM Chains ↔️ Cosmos Chains
As mentioned earlier, SVM Expansion is taking shape in different ways, and while some SVM L2s may settle to Solana, many are currently settling to Ethereum. Cross-VM interoperability is becoming increasingly important today - which is why Hyperlane not only supports SVM <> SVM and SVM <> Solana Warp Routes, but also EVM ↔️ SVM Routes.
Warp Routes Types
Hyperlane supports several Warp Route configurations for SVM chains, depending on the token and use case:
- Native → Synthetic: Lock native gas tokens (i.e. SOL) on the origin chain, to mint synthetic tokens on the destination chain.
- Example: Bridging SOL from Solana → SOON.
- Collateral → Synthetic: Lock collateral tokens, such as USDC, on the origin chain and mint synthetic tokens on the destination chain. Hyperlane both supports SPL and Token-2022 tokens for SVM Warp Routes.
- Example: Bridging USDC from Solana → Eclipse.
In all cases, synthetic tokens are tokens which are minted on the destination chain and burned when they are bridged back. The owner of the Warp Route manages the mint and burn authority.
Warp Routes are also configurable to specific business needs. For example, the Eclipse team wanted to create a user-friendly stablecoin experience across chains so they configured their USDC Warp Route to allow users to bridge USDC from Ethereum to Eclipse, and withdraw out of Eclipse to Solana instead, an advanced lock & mint architecture called a Multi-Collateral Warp Route.

SVM Warp Routes In Action
Warp Routes are already accelerating SVM Expansion today:
There are currently 17 Warp Routes available between Eclipse and multiple ecosystems:
- Eclipse ↔️ Solana (8 Routes)
- Eclipse ↔️ Ethereum (6 Routes)
- Eclipse ↔️ Stride (2 Routes)
- Celestia ⏩ Eclipse (1 Route)
There are currently 11 Warp Routes available between SOON ↔️ Solana mainnet.
There are currently 8 Warp Routes available between Sonic and Solana mainnet.
All SVM Warp Routes on Hyperlane are available on Nexus. Note that there is currently no Warp Route to transfer back from Eclipse to Celestia Mainnet.
Hyperlane provides the necessary developer tooling for chain deployers and asset issuers to set up their own token bridges. Launch your own SVM Warp Route today by diving into the docs or following our step-by-step developer guide.
Multichain Token Issuance
With Warp Tokens, asset issuers can expand their reach across the SVM ecosystem and beyond with Hyperlane. Warp Tokens are tokens - fungible or non-fungible - which can be easily sent and transferred across Hyperlane-connected chains.
Hyperlane lets developers set up synthetic token routes to create new Warp Tokens on destination chains, which represent tokens from the origin chain. As mentioned above, Hyperlane supports both SPL and Token2022 assets, so when Synthetic Warp Tokens are minted on Solana, developers can choose to configure additional logic and functionality for their assets if they wish to do so.
SVM Multichain Tokens In Action
While not an SPL or Token-2022 token, Eclipse's Turbo ETH (tETH) demonstrates the flexibility asset issuers can get with Hyperlane. The first of its kind, this unified restaking token is minted on Ethereum and bridged to Eclipse through Hyperlane. Today, tETH serves as a core building block for yield generation on Eclipse, with over 7.2k tETH minted across 114k+ holders.
Permissionless, Modular Security
Crosschain messages passed through Hyperlane are secured by Interchain Security Modules (ISMs) - smart contracts that verify whether a message being delivered on a destination chain was actually sent from the origin chain.
ISMs are modular, giving builders control over their crosschain security model as they get to define the conditions under which they accept incoming messages from external chains. Furthermore ISMs are designed to be future-proof - as builders can easily upgrade their security preferences without needing to rewrite their codebase or redeploy their entire protocol.
This simple but elegant functionality extends to SVM chains. Whether they’re building an SVM L2 that settles to Ethereum or launching an SVM app-chain, SVM builders can customize their own Validator set at launch - without any approvals or permissions required.
Go Cross-VM With Hyperlane
One of the biggest advantages to building with Hyperlane is being able to easily implement cross-VM interoperability for your application or chain, regardless of where you’re building on.
Whether you’re an asset issuer looking to broaden access and deepen the liquidity of your token, an application developer looking to reach more users, or you’re deploying a new chain and need to onboard new users and applications - you never need to be limited to a single ecosystem with Hyperlane.
For instance - consider the Eclipse team, who made it their definitive mission to be “Solana on Ethereum”. To make this happen meant they would need support for both the EVM and SVM, and have access to seamless EVM <> SVM interoperability. By building with Hyperlane, Eclipse now has a total of 14 Warp Routes connecting to Ethereum and Solana, and have been able to connect to more ecosystems including Stride and Celestia as well.
The altVM landscape is rapidly evolving. With Hyperlane, you don’t have to be left behind.
Join SVM Expansion
By building with the SVM, developers can bring the power and performance of Solana to new chains and ecosystems. And with Hyperlane’s extensive features and tooling for SVM chains, there is no better time to join SVM expansion.
