Supra’s Interoperability Model (HyperNova vs HyperLoop)
SupraNova integrates two types of bridging models depending on the destination chain and required trust assumptions:
HyperNova
Trustless bridging between major L1s (e.g., Ethereum to Supra).
Cryptographic proofs (Sync Committee signatures, Merkle proofs, Ancestry)
HyperLoop
Fast bridging across Layer2 rollups or high-throughput chains.
Multi-signature validator committee with game-theoretic security
Both models are modular and selected based on use case.
HyperNova is used where trust minimization and security are critical and on-chain cryptographic verification of source chain events are possible, while HyperLoop is optimized for speed and cost in environments where a middle network of bridge nodes that are proven to be game theoretically secure needs to be trusted.
