Introducing Superlane: Accelerating Superchain Interoperability

Velodrome Finance and Hyperlane are launching Superlane, an  interoperability layer designed to bring Superchain functionality to life sooner. Available in November, Superlane delivers core Superchain benefits—such as shared liquidity, interchain governance, and interchain applications—without waiting for the full rollout of Optimism’s Superchain.

Superlane’s modular design ensures that OP Stack rollups can transition seamlessly to native Superchain interoperability once it’s ready. Powered by Hyperlane’s permissionless deployment, any OP Stack rollup can integrate Superlane quickly and autonomously, enabling interoperability across chains. Its modular security architecture allows developers to adapt or replace security models as needed, ensuring future-proof flexibility.

Velodrome Finance, Optimism’s largest DEX with $125M+ TVL and $15B+ in trading volume, will be the first to adopt Superlane. Velodrome will expand its role as the Superchain’s liquidity hub by introducing interchain XVELO tokens, emissions, and gauges, further solidifying its position in the ecosystem.

With Velodrome fully covering incentives for Hyperlane validators servicing partner rollups, Superlane sets the stage for the rapid expansion of interconnected OP Stack rollups. Launching in November, Superlane is bridging today’s rollups to the Superchain future.
