Secure cross-chain communication requires the verification of consensus, consensus faults, state proofs, and state transitions.
However, these verification processes are typically too expensive to be performed onchain.
This limitation leads to using trusted intermediaries.

The next and final upgrade will introduce zkCasper. Our SNARK based protocol for executing the full beacon chain consensus on a dedicated parachain core.
This ensures the bridge is secured by the full crypto economic security provided by Ethereum.
In this research article I present a SNARK based scheme for verifying the Ethereum's Casper FFG consensus proofs.
With this scheme on/offchain light clients can benefit from the crypto economic security provided by the ETH 17m ($34b) at stake.

We envision Parachain cores can also be used for the data availability of rollup transactions on Ethereum or any chain.
Hyperbridge also unlocks coprocessors for identity, onchain DAO voting (with pallet-democracy), DeFi, Privacy, and other zk applications.

33
With this in mind, we take the hybrid approach. Combining both SNARKs and a blockchain to form an Interoperability coprocessor. However, the blockchain must possess:
- High cryptoeconomic security!
- Highly scalable blockchain architecture.
- Cheap consensus & State Proofs.
2
1
32
Secure Interoperability necessitates the coprocessor model. Where the computation is performed off-chain and the results are presented onchain with cryptographic proofs of its correct execution.
A popular example of a coprocessor is a SNARK, but SNARKs alone are too expensive.

In addition, we have created a cross-chain application to demonstrate the capabilities of Hyperbridge to end users. This application enables the transfer of arbitrary messages or assets between our supported networks on Goerli.

USE CASES
Since Hyperbridge executes the blocks of its connected chains, it can serve as a validity prover for optimtic L2 blocks. As a result, short-circuiting the fraud proof window, enabling near instant withdrawals and communication amongst optimistic L2s.
1
2
31
Since Hyperbridge stores all verified blocks and headers indefinitely, it can also be used to access historical on-chain state, although in an asynchronous manner. This enables on-chain applications to request historical DEX pricing, check the age of accounts, and more.
