Today, we are announcing our integration with @hyperlane, the open interoperability framework connecting more than 150 blockchain networks. Shield Swap is built for confidential trading. Participant identities stay off the public ledger, portfolio balances remain encrypted to the participant’s keys, and trades do not expose the participant’s full activity to public observers. Each transaction also creates an encrypted compliance record that can be disclosed to authorized parties when required. But confidential execution is only useful if participants can get their assets into the venue without rebuilding their treasury operations around a new network. Hyperlane solves that access problem. Its framework supports asset transfers across EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and other virtual machine environments. A single Hyperlane integration can connect applications and assets across more than 150 networks. For Shield Swap participants, that means assets can move into the venue from the networks where they already sit. Hyperlane also gives applications control over how cross-chain messages are verified. Its Interchain Security Modules allow developers to choose and combine security models for their deployment. Validator sets and signature thresholds can be configured around the requirements of the application rather than inherited from a single bridge-wide model. Transfers into Shield Swap remain visible on their origin networks. Confidentiality begins when the assets are shielded inside the venue. From that point, the participant’s identity, balances, and trading activity stay out of public view. View keys allow the participant to disclose the relevant records to authorized parties without making those records public. During the beta period, the initial Hyperlane routes will support ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, and wBTC on Ethereum. Early access is available to a limited number of beta participants at shield.fi.
