Hyperbridge is now the first parachain on Polkadot to activate async-backing. Producing blocks every 6seconds after it was activated just this morning.
Async backing means we can now process 8x the number of transactions as before

In this research article, I define the neccessary, types & algorithms needed to run the ethereum beacon chain light client as an 02-client IBC module.
This will allow IBC enabled chains to communicate trustlessly with the ethereum beacon chain.

It's insane to me how much money the Polkadot treasury is wasting on misplaced marketing. Did we learn nothing from FTX and ?
Blockchains like optimism, arbitrum are giving hundreds of millions of dollars to developers and builders.

You're witnessing Hyperbridge broadcast zk consensus proofs to 6 different chains all at once. Unifying them for cryptographically secure, cross-chain interoperability.
This has never been done before, Hyperbridge is history in the making.

It's an honor to have
@Web3Foundation
as one of our lead investors. Hyperbridge is built on their groundbreaking research and development.
We couldn't have wished for a better partner—one that recognizes the need for trust-free interoperability and it's disruptive potential
We've secured $2.5m in funding from
@Web3foundation
and
@scytaledigital
to build the endgame of interoperability.
Hyperbridge sets a new standard: secure and verifiable interoperability, by combining advanced zero-knowledge cryptographic and cryptoeconomic protocols.

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.

Blockchains like Solana and Tron cannot be bridged using light clients, because they lack a state commitment (or root hash) in their block headers
Therefore, these blockchains are not state machines but simply databases.

Polkadot currently provides over $5bn of crypto-economic security, which is 7 times the security budget of the largest bridge axelar.
Once Hyperbridge launches on Polkadot, it will have the highest security of any bridge period.
Goodluck to our competitors.

The Polkadot treasury (through the

Building in Polkadot is literally a cheat code, free audits, free marketing. Few.

Say what you will about the Polkadot ecosystem. But it's home to the last true cypherpunks. The technology is way ahead of its time and it's unlikely any ecosystem will catch up.

Both ethereum and Polkadot were funded initially by a decentralized community and In similar fashion, we're opening the Hyperbridge seed round to the community.
The cypherpunk era is back.
Have you seen our coming soon card on

Soon you will be able to stir the direction of a fully decentralised and permissionless bridge using the NAND token.

Honestly still in awe of just how much the community showed up for the Hyperbridge crowdloan. We had most of the contributions even before we announced the crowdloan rewards. Which is even crazier.
Remember anon? We're here to disintermediate and decentralize.
We're excited to share that Hyperbridge has won the Parachain Slot Auction

Hyperbridge will be deployed to Kusama after Polkadot launch. We already have a Kusama slot.
Hyperbridge is designed to have multiple "cores", potentially across multiple consensus layers. All governed by a single token.

It is with a heavy heart that I must share today that we’ve sold Hyperbridge to Wormhole. I’m sorry, but it was for a lot of money.
Wormhole will be removing permissionless relayers so they can fully extract all value from Hyperbridge.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

People who say that Proof of stake protocols are vulnerable to 51% attacks reveal a fundamental lack of understanding of the concept of safety in consensus systems.
51% attacking a Proof of work chain is much cheaper and more viable than a proof of stake chain.

This simply does not exist today, and will only enable new kinds of applications.

It appears that there are two paths in blockchain scaling.

2. Building a cryptoeconomic super computer.

If we regard blockchains as computers. Then we should also observe an equivalent of Moore's law in blockchain scaling, I.e the doubling of computational capacity at most every 2 years.

With async backing, we were kind of worried that parachain finality would be slower because of the faster block times.

My thoughts on Ethereum's loss of finality.
This is exactly how GHOST based consensus systems are supposed to behave. By decoupling liveness from safety, you have a network that continues to produce blocks while finalisation catches up.
This is also why single slot finality is
