The team behind the cross-chain protocol Hyperlane has officially scheduled a token airdrop for April 22, 2025. Designed to recognize early contributors and encourage further development, the event reflects the platform’s ongoing efforts to build a decentralized, community-first ecosystem.
Participants must complete registration by April 13 via a dedicated portal.
According to the Hyperlane Foundation, the distribution will take into account retroactivity, with rewards issued to users and developers who have supported the project from its early stages.

A Community-Centric Token Model
Hyperlane’s approach to HYPER token distribution is clear: reward the people who built the momentum. A full 57% of the supply is reserved for those who helped shape the protocol from the start.
The rest follows a structured path:
- 25% supports the builders behind the curtain—developers and team;
- 10.9% goes to early believers—investors who backed the vision;
- 7.1% funds future initiatives through the foundation’s treasury.
From the moment of the airdrop, user tokens will be free to move—open to utility, experimentation, and on-chain interaction.
But those tied to the founding team and early backers will remain sealed for 12 months. The message is clear: responsibility before reward, and a future built on more than hype.

Incentives in Motion: Hyperlane’s Expansion Framework
The Hyperlane Foundation reports that the protocol now supports integrations with over 140 chains, facilitating close to 9 million cross-chain messages to date.
Its Warp Routes solution has already powered $6 billion in cross-network transactions, underscoring its role as a major enabler of interoperable blockchain activity.
To accelerate growth, Hyperlane has introduced the HYPER token, supported by an Expansion Rewards program that compensates both builders and users based on engagement.
These rewards will be issued quarterly over a four-year period, with 85% of app-generated rewards going directly to end users.
Drop Dates & What's Coming
The gates open on April 3 — the preclaim period begins. Participants have until April 13, 11:59 PM EDT, to stake their claim.
Come the week of April 20, the network enters its Token Generation Event. The curtain falls on May 5, the final moment to secure your share.
Unused tokens from this Expansion Drop won’t be shelved — they’ll be redirected to energize what comes next.
For the Hyperlane Foundation, this isn’t just logistics — it’s part of a broader vision: more inclusion, more clarity, more builders aligned with an open, interoperable future.
