Across Protocol
Across Protocol is the leading intent-based cross-chain bridge, connecting over 15 chains — including Hyperliquid's HyperCore and HyperEVM — with near-instant settlement and some of the lowest fees in DeFi. Unlike traditional message-passing bridges, Across replaces step-by-step execution with user-declared outcomes called intents: users specify what they want, and a competitive network of relayers races to fulfill each transfer optimally. Backed by a three-layer architecture — a request-for-quote mechanism, a network of competitive relayers, and an on-chain settlement layer — Across guarantees fast fills averaging under one minute without sacrificing security or decentralization. Bridging 1 ETH costs under $1. The protocol has processed over $22B in cumulative volume across 15M+ transactions, making it one of the most proven interoperability solutions in production. For the Hyperliquid ecosystem, Across unlocks seamless capital inflows from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and beyond — giving users and protocols a reliable, low-cost on-ramp to both HyperCore's order-book liquidity and HyperEVM's growing DeFi landscape.

Dynamic is a powerful wallet and authentication infrastructure platform enabling Web3 developers building on HyperEVM to add multi-wallet login, embedded wallets, and progressive onboarding flows to their applications. Dynamic's SDK supports 300+ wallets including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and social login via Google and email, letting users connect to HyperEVM dApps via their preferred authentication method. Its embedded wallet feature provisions non-custodial wallets on behalf of users who do not have an existing wallet, seamlessly bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 onboarding. For HyperEVM applications targeting both crypto-native and mainstream audiences, Dynamic provides a flexible, developer-friendly SDK with built-in user management, passkey support, and multi-chain session handling—reducing weeks of auth development to hours. Dynamic is trusted by hundreds of Web3 projects globally and is a natural choice for ambitious HyperEVM applications.

Ecosystem Integration
Across Protocol
Across Protocol operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
Dynamic
Dynamic operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
Both protocols share the same layer, maximizing composability potential.
