## Good for

- crosschain messaging
- Orbit chain connectivity
- interchain apps
- token routes

## Avoid for

- single-chain apps
- apps unwilling to reason about bridge/security assumptions

## Capabilities

### Crosschain messaging (production-ready)
Best for: interchain apps, appchain messaging, crosschain agents
- Security module configuration is an application-level responsibility.

## Composes with

- **arbitrum-orbit** (settlement_or_execution; supports) — Hyperlane can provide messaging and token routes for Orbit appchains.
- **the-graph** (indexing_and_data; supports) — The Graph can index interchain message delivery, token route events, and app-level cross-chain state.
- **layerzero** (alternative; alternative) — LayerZero is an alternative cross-chain messaging and omnichain app framework with different security assumptions.
