• 🥇 Best Use of Permissionless Interoperability: $4k USD

  To be eligible for the prize, deploy Hyperlane on your own OP Chain! Give your OP Chain limitless connectivity with Hyperlane. The way you use your new interoperability capabilities will determine your chances of winning the grand prize. You could use Hyperlane to connect your OP Chain with any other and do something amazing! Once you’ve connected your OP Chain, think about creative ways to build an Interchain Application, to leverage Warp Routes, or to create a unique bit of infrastructure. The most technically impressive and creative submission will win the grand prize.

• 🎼 Best Interchain Application: $2k USD

  An interchain application is an application that communicates between different blockchains. It can either transfer assets or make interchain function calls. The winner of this prize will be the most impressive application that makes use of Hyperlane and benefits from its presence on multiple blockchains. This is a perfect opportunity to build a robust DeFi app as a unique OP Chain!

• 💸 Best Use of Hyperlane Warp Routes: $2k USD

  Warp Routes are Hyperlane’s unique take on token bridging. They are unique and instanced expression of bridging as opposed to the traditional omnibus token bridge design. Each Warp Route can have its own security model, using Hyperlane’s Interchain Security Modules.

• 🚝 Best Hyperlane Infrastructure: $2k USD

  This category is for building infrastructure that either enhances Hyperlane or makes use of Hyperlane's capabilities. Maybe you’ll build a customized Deploy tool to bundle Hyperlane with any OP Chain deployment? Or perhaps you’d build a way to more easily connect OP Chains with Hyperlane?

• 🌐 New Interchain Security Modules (ISMs): $2k USD

  Hyperlane’s Modular Security Stack is based on a range of Interchain Security Modules that developers can use to secure the way applications communicate between chains. Some ISMs are already available, and more are being developed. The hackathon is a great chance to build new ones.
