Overview

LayerZero logo

LayerZero

LayerZero is the leading omnichain interoperability protocol, and its integration with Hyperliquid — branded as Hyperbridge — connects HyperEVM to over 70 blockchain networks. Cross-chain interoperability is one of DeFi's most persistent challenges: assets and liquidity are siloed across ecosystems, forcing users to navigate complex and risky bridging flows. LayerZero solves this through its Ultra Light Node architecture, which uses decentralized oracles and relayers to pass arbitrary messages between chains with strong security guarantees — without requiring full node validation on every connected chain. Hyperbridge brings this infrastructure to HyperEVM, enabling native cross-chain token transfers, messaging, and protocol integrations with Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Solana, and dozens of other networks. For Hyperliquid's DeFi ecosystem, this unlocks the ability to import liquidity from other chains into HyperEVM protocols, launch omnichain tokens that exist natively across multiple networks simultaneously, and build cross-chain applications that tap Hyperliquid's high-performance execution environment. LayerZero's battle-tested infrastructure, securing billions in cross-chain value, provides the security foundation Hyperliquid's ecosystem needs to connect with the broader crypto world.

Particle Network

Particle Network is a modular chain abstraction layer and account abstraction infrastructure provider that enables seamless Web3 onboarding across all EVM chains including HyperEVM. Its Universal Accounts allow users to maintain a single balance and identity across all blockchains, automatically routing transactions through the most efficient path—eliminating the need to manually bridge assets before interacting with HyperEVM protocols. Particle's Smart Wallet-as-a-Service enables dApps on HyperEVM to offer social login, gasless transactions, and batched operations through ERC-4337 account abstraction, dramatically reducing friction for new users. With MPC-based key management, users get Web2-style recovery options without sacrificing self-custody. Particle is a key infrastructure layer for HyperEVM projects that want to onboard mainstream users without burdening them with crypto UX complexity—making it especially valuable for NFT platforms, gaming, and consumer DeFi applications on Hyperliquid.

Ecosystem Integration

LayerZero logo

LayerZero

LayerZero operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.

Particle Network logo

Particle Network

Particle Network 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.
