is thrilled to announce the deployment of Hyperlane on Q
is the first permissionless interoperability framework built for the modular blockchain stack
Hyperlane is revolutionizing cross-chain connectivity
The company's messaging bridge has been deployed on Q
facilitating seamless interoperability across Hyperlane's expansive network of over 50 ecosystems and blockchain networks.The first blockchain that has been integrated is Polygon PoS
one of the most used protocols in the world
The network has tens of thousands of dApps
more than 3 million average daily transactions
and some of the top brands building on it.The collaboration marks a significant milestone for Q in creating a fundamental governance layer for Web3
Enabling cross-chain governance on Q with Hyperlane
Hyperlane serves as an interoperability framework within the modular blockchain stack
It functions as an Arbitrary Messaging Bridge (AMB)
enabling the seamless exchange of interchain messages across many chains within the Web3 ecosystem
Q provides a novel key primitive for Web3: Shared Governance Security
Projects using Q’s governance opt-in features can safeguard critical governance decisions
This opens a new design space for developers
Q’s governance features were only available to projects building natively on Q
cross-chain governance functionality is a critical step on the development roadmap for Q
The goal is to enable all projects to tap into Q’s governance security features
Deploying and connecting to Hyperlane is an important step towards making this vision a reality
"Enabling cross-chain governance on Q is a game-changer
Our vision is to create value for all of Web3
and the way to do this is to make Q's governance security available to all Web3 projects—no matter which chain they build on
“Cross-chain governance is a critical challenge facing every project that operates across multiple blockchains," said Jon Kol
"By deploying the Hyperlane interoperability framework
Q can now extend its powerful governance capabilities to any blockchain connected to the Hyperlane network - starting with Polygon PoS
Hyperlane's permissionless architecture meant Q could integrate and host this solution on its own
This is an excellent example of what builders can achieve with truly open
Q is a novel blockchain protocol acting as a fundamental governance layer in Web 3
Polygon Labs is a software development company building and developing an aggregated blockchain network that provides cross-chain interoperability via the Aggregation Layer
a decentralized protocol on Ethereum that unifies user bases and liquidity for all connected chains
Polygon Labs has also contributed to the core development of several widely-adopted scaling protocols
