Web3 with Sam Kamani260: Interoperability for Every Chain: Jon Kol from Hyperlane on Building Seamless Cross-Chain CommunicationJon Kol, founder of Hyperlane, joins Sam Kamani to dive deep into one of crypto’s biggest challenges—interoperability. From his days at Morgan Stanley to building Hyperlane, Jon shares how they’re enabling any chain to communicate with any other through permissionless, modular frameworks. He explains why monolithic architectures can’t scale, how modular security flips the bridge security model, and why interchain accounts will redefine how users interact with Web3. If you're building across chains, this episode is a must-listen.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces Jon Kol and the mission of Hyper...2025-05-2838 min
The Crypto ConversationHyperlane - Interoperability For EveryoneJon Kol is a Co-founder at Hyperlane, the open interoperability framework to connect anywhere onchain. Why you should listen Hyperlane is the “open interoperability framework” that lets any blockchain—whether an L1, rollup, app‑chain, or VM—talk to any other, permissionlessly. Think of it as the universal plumbing for cross‑chain apps, assets, and arbitrary messages, already live on 140+ chains and five VMs. At its core, Hyperlane uses Mailbox contracts on each chain as send/receive endpoints. When you dispatch a message, it’s slotted into a Merkle tree; off‑chain relayers pick it up, bund...2025-05-1527 min

The RollupWhat is The Interop Endgame? With HyperlaneWelcome to episode 16 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a further look into the interoperability endgame.
In today's video, we are focused on the technical design of Hyperlane's open framework for interoperability.
Joined by Jon Kol, we touched on why we believe that modular, horizontal scaling is key for the future of the crypto space and building towards that future is where Hyperlane is headed.
Recently, Hyperlane announced 'Supelane' in collaboration with Velodrome that brings consistent security across Superchain L2s. Superlane aims to create unified...2024-11-0143 min

The RollupModular March EP 11: Permissionless Interoperability for the Modular FutureThe checkered cross-chain past is something you just had to live through to understand.
We tend to think the best have survived and the unfortunate events of 2021-2022 have led to a completely different way of thinking about interoperability security for the modular expansion.
In today’s piece Rob & Andy sat down with Jon Kol, CEO of Hyperlane, to understand their design choices around permissionless. At its core, Hyperlane aims to establish an open framework that enables any blockchain to seamlessly connect with others, creating a interoperable ecosystem without long BD queues and permissioned deployments....2024-03-2641 min
The RollupWhere Routescan Fits in The Modular ThesisOne of the core issues we heard about awhile back on our podcast with Jon Kol from Hyperlane was the ‘indexing’ problem of the modular expansion.
Essentially, if we are going to exist in a world of 1000s of chains, we’ll also need to have a streamlined process for data.
This is where yesterdays post with Lava Network fits in the puzzle (RPCs). Staying on the data tooling pattern, today’s post is an interview from ETHDenver with Jack, the founder of Routescan.
Andy and Jack discussed Routescan’s journey over the past few m...2024-03-2412 min
