[Zurich, Switzerland – September, 2025] – Hyperbridge announces the official mainnet integration of Polygon into its cross-chain network. After a successful testnet phase, the integration is now live, showing Hyperbridge’s capability to facilitate seamless connectivity across the Web3 landscape.
With $141 billion in transfer volume, Polygon is a cornerstone of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. This new integration creates a powerful two-way bridge, making Polygon one of the destinations for Hyperbridge users and developers.
Hyperbridge serves as a cryptoeconomic co-processor on Polkadot, providing secure and verifiable cross-chain messaging and token transfers. By adding Polygon to its list of supported networks, which already includes Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, zkVerify, and Gnosis, among others, Hyperbridge significantly expands Polkadot’s interoperability footprint and strengthens its role as a multichain hub.
“This new connection is undeniable proof that Hyperbridge can scale verifiable interoperability to all of Web3”, said Seun Lanlege, Founder of Polytope Labs, the team behind Hyperbridge. “This is a stepping stone in our vision to unify the multichain under the security umbrella of Hyperbridge, made possible by the development of a Tendermint light client. This opens up Hyperbridge to integrating with Tendermint-based chains. Tendermint is the most adopted consensus mechanism in the blockchain space, used by Arc by Circle, Cronos, Sei, Berachain, 0G, XRPL EVM, Injective, Kava, etc.”
This integration comes hot on the heels of Hyperbridge’s recent decentralisation of consensus relayers. These relayers are incentivised by the Hyperbridge treasury, which holds 40% of the BRIDGE (Hyperbridge’s native token) supply.
Developers and users on Polygon can now securely bridge between the connected networks on Hyperbridge. Unlike traditional multisig-based bridges, Hyperbridge leverages zk-light clients and finality proofs to authenticate cross-chain messages. This approach provides a level of security equivalent to the blockchains themselves, ensuring trustless interoperability for users.
Hyperbridge’s progress has been reinforced by strong momentum across development, community, and investment. Its Initial Relayer Offering raised $2.8 million. This builds on the $2.5 million seed round led by the Web3 Foundation and Scytale Digital, and was further strengthened with a strategic investment from Harbour Industrial Capital, signalling sustained confidence in Hyperbridge’s long-term vision. The protocol has done several critical integrations in recent times, namely with ZKVerify, Enjin, and Hydration (Polkadot’s largest DEx with over $330 million in TVL). The protocol also continues to undergo rigorous security audits by the same teams that audit Polkadot, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.
The Polygon mainnet integration reinforces Polkadot’s position as a hub for verifiable cross-chain activity. By linking one of the most active liquidity networks in Web3 with Polkadot’s secure and governance-driven design, Hyperbridge is building the foundation for the next generation of multichain applications.

About Hyperbridge
Hyperbridge is the world’s safest bridge; it replaces multisigs and MPC solutions, which have been at the centre of the largest bridge hacks with secure cryptographic (consensus & storage) proofs. It’s already connected to over 14 chains, including Ethereum, Base, BNB chain, etc. It enables mission-critical cross-chain user experiences that do not have the luxury of centralized security models, like stablecoins and other RWA issuers, DAOs and cross-chain governance.
About Polkadot
Polkadot is the powerful, secure core of Web3, providing a shared foundation that unites some of the world’s most transformative apps and blockchains. Polkadot offers advanced modular architecture that allows devs to easily design and build their own specialized blockchain projects, pooled security that ensures the same high standard for secure block production across all connected chains and apps connected to it, and robust governance that ensures a transparent system where everyone has say in shaping the blockchain ecosystem for growth and sustainability. With Polkadot, users are not just participants, they’re co-creators with the power to shape its future.
