The world of web development has long been divided. On one side, we have millions of JavaScript developers shaping today’s internet. On the other, a small, specialized group—around 26,000 developers—are working in the Web3 space. This divide has constrained blockchain innovation, keeping it largely siloed and exclusive. But with Hyperweb, the lines between Web2 and Web3 are beginning to blur.
What is Hyperweb?
Hyperweb is an end-to-end TypeScript ecosystem designed to bring JavaScript developers into the blockchain space. Created by Cosmology, the team behind the Cosmos SDK and interchain technology, Hyperweb marries the ease and familiarity of Web2 development with the decentralized power of Web3.
It empowers JavaScript developers to seamlessly transition into blockchain development. By enabling them to use TypeScript, a language many are already fluent in, Hyperweb makes building decentralized applications (dApps) as straightforward as developing a traditional web application. This opens blockchain development to a far broader audience, breaking down barriers that have long held the industry back.
A Seamless Development Experience
Hyperweb redefines blockchain development by integrating the tools and practices familiar to Web2 developers:
Unified Frontend and Backend Development: Hyperweb offers a complete toolkit that connects frontend and backend workflows, enabling developers to create entire dApps within a cohesive environment.
TypeScript Smart Contracts: Developers can write smart contracts in TypeScript, leveraging their existing skills without the need to learn complex, new languages.
This positions Hyperweb as a major inflection point, reducing entry barriers and inviting a broader range of developers into the blockchain ecosystem.
Why TypeScript is a Game-Changer
Hyperweb’s use of TypeScript for smart contract development is a significant breakthrough. This shared syntax allows developers to work seamlessly across frontend, backend, and on-chain components. It simplifies the development process while introducing key Web3 principles like composability and censorship resistance into familiar workflows.
By bridging Web2 and Web3 through a common language, Hyperweb equips developers with the tools they need to innovate in the decentralized space, all while staying rooted in what they know best.
Built on the Cosmos Ecosystem
Hyperweb is built on the robust foundation of the Cosmos SDK. This means full interoperability with other blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC). Additionally, by integrating with the Cosmos Hub via Interchain Security (ICS), Hyperweb benefits from the Hub’s established validator set, ensuring strong economic security from day one.
Early Access
Hyperweb’s mission is clear: democratize blockchain development. Even before the testnet launch, developers can start building with Hyperweb’s JavaScript Virtual Machine and an intuitive starter kit. This early access allows Web2 developers to experiment with blockchain development using the tools and languages they already trust.
As the testnet launch draws closer, Hyperweb is poised to become a key enabler in bridging the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. Start building today and be part of shaping the next chapter in the web’s evolution.
