Hyperlane: When Is The HYPER Airdrop And Listing Date?

Hyperlane, an interoperability protocol connecting blockchain networks, announced its upcoming token airdrop scheduled for late April 2025.

The Hyperlane Foundation confirmed the release of its native token, $HYPER, set to occur during the week starting 20 April 2025. Users interested in participating must verify their eligibility by accessing Hyperlane’s official portal no later than 13 April 2025. The claim period to collect tokens officially ends on 5 May 2025.

HYPER tokenomics

The total token supply amounts to one billion units. Of this supply, 57% is allocated directly to the community, emphasizing Hyperlane’s commitment to decentralized participation. The remaining distribution consists of 25% allocated to the core team, 10.9% reserved for investors, and 7.1% retained by the foundation’s treasury.

Tokens allocated to the community will be immediately accessible after launch, whereas the tokens designated for the core team and investors will have a one-year lock-up period to encourage sustained project engagement and commitment.

How to become eligible for the Hyperlane airdrop

To be eligible for the $HYPER token airdrop, users must have paid at least $5 in transaction fees using Hyperlane’s protocol before 28 February 2025. Additional eligibility criteria provide allocations to certain specialized user groups.

These include users active on blockchains exclusively using Hyperlane for interoperability, NFT holders of specific collections such as Celestine Sloth Society or Mammoths, and those who provided liquidity for TIA tokens on platforms like Arbitrum and Manta prior to 30 January 2024.

Participants must first visit the Hyperlane Foundation’s official eligibility portal. After verifying eligible addresses, users can then select their preference between receiving standard HYPER tokens or staked variants known as stHYPER tokens.

Users also choose the blockchain network where their tokens will be delivered, completing the necessary registration steps before the critical deadline on 13 April 2025.

In addition to this initial airdrop, Hyperlane has launched an ongoing ‘expansion rewards‘ initiative. Under this program, users will receive quarterly rewards corresponding directly to their cross-chain activity and network participation levels. This structured rewards system aims to encourage continuous user engagement and promote the sustained growth of Hyperlane’s interoperability ecosystem.

What is Hyperlane?

Hyperlane is a blockchain interoperability protocol designed to connect diverse blockchain platforms seamlessly. It provides a modular, universal infrastructure enabling various blockchains—including Layer-1 networks, rollups, and dedicated application-specific chains — to communicate and interact effectively.

One distinctive aspect of Hyperlane is its interchain security modules, which offer developers flexible control over security settings. This feature allows project teams to adjust security parameters to match specific requirements, significantly improving application safety and usability.

The project has gained strong industry support, raising $20million from reputable investors, including Galaxy Digital, CoinFund, Circle, Figment, Blockdaemon, Kraken Ventures, and NFX. This substantial financial backing demonstrates confidence in Hyperlane’s potential to revolutionize cross-chain interactions and infrastructure development.
