Summary
This proposal seeks approval to deploy the Hyperlane protocol on the Terra Classic (LUNC) blockchain, enabling decentralized cross-chain bridges with Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Solana (SOL).
The project also includes the customization of a Hyperlane Warp UI, fully compatible with CW20 tokens from the Terra Classic ecosystem.
Deployment will begin immediately after this proposal is approved, and payment will only be made after full deployment and verification in production.
Motivation
Currently, official bridges such as Wormhole have discontinued infrastructure support for Terra Classic.
As a result, native coins (LUNC and USTC) and CW20 tokens have lost the ability to move across blockchains.
This left Terra Classic isolated within its own liquidity bubble, restricted to local DEXs and unable to access wider global markets.
Hyperlane offers a modular, decentralized, and community-controlled interoperability protocol.
Its infrastructure — validators, relayers, and configuration — is fully owned by the community, eliminating any dependency on third-party providers.
Why Hyperlane
Hyperlane enables secure cross-chain communication, token transfers, and smart contract calls between blockchains — all without intermediaries.
- Official website: https://www.hyperlane.xyz
- Expansion map: https://www.hyperlane.xyz/expansion?group=Chains
Hyperlane is already connected to 130+ major chains and has processed over $10B+ in bridged assets,
securely validating over 10,000 cross-chain asset transfer messages daily.
This makes Hyperlane a proven, reliable, and industry-recognized interoperability solution.
Key Benefits
- Fully decentralized infrastructure operated by the community
- Integration with Ethereum, BSC, and Solana
- Expanded global liquidity for CW20 tokens
- Support for native assets like LUNC and USTC, and CW20 tokens such as Juris, Sele, Terra, WESO, and Cookie
Access to Global Liquidity
With Hyperlane, CW20 tokens can be wrapped and listed on major DEXs:
| Network | Potential DEXs |
|---|---|
| Ethereum | Uniswap, Curve, Balancer |
| BSC | PancakeSwap, Thena, Biswap |
| Solana | Jupiter, Raydium, Orca |
This integration will allow Terra Classic assets to reach global markets, breaking the liquidity bubble currently limited to the network’s internal DEXs.
Validators and Participation
A quorum of four validators has already been formed to validate the Hyperlane deployment voluntarily, without any monthly compensation.
These validators are:
- Vegas Node
- StrathCole
- Highstakes.ch
- LUNA Classic DAO
This quorum provides the minimum validator requirement to start the decentralized bridge operation.
If any validator becomes inactive, the community may vote to replace them, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.
KYC and Security
To deploy wrapped versions of LUNC and USTC on Ethereum, BSC, and Solana, the project will undergo KYC verification through SolidProof — a well-known blockchain audit and verification provider.
Additionally, multi-signature accounts will be established for bridge contract management, ensuring decentralization and transparency.
The proposed multisig signatories are:
- The proposer (Igor Veras)
- The four validators listed above
- Two developers from the L1 core team
This configuration ensures that all critical actions involving bridge management and wrapped assets are transparent, secure, and community-aligned.
Note: Since the KYC process may take additional time, a separate payment proposal will be submitted only after the KYC verification is completed.
For Layer 2 (L2) deployments, KYC is not mandatory, but it is being performed to reinforce community trust and avoid future discussions about the legitimacy and safety of wrapped LUNC and USTC assets.
Technical Overview
Implementation includes the following steps:
- Deploy core Hyperlane contracts — Mailbox, Interchain Gas Paymaster (IGP), ValidatorAnnounce, and ISMs
- Configure four independent validators (already established)
- Set up relayers to handle cross-chain message delivery
- Create bridge contracts for CW20 ↔ ERC20 / BEP20 / SPL token transfers
- Develop and customize the Warp UI for Terra Classic integration
- Publish complete documentation covering installation, validator configuration, and warp creation
Even with full documentation, Warp creation and customization require advanced technical knowledge and should be managed by experienced developers.
Minimum Infrastructure Requirements
Based on Hyperlane’s official documentation:
- 2 vCPUs
- 2–4 GB RAM
- 4 GB Storage
Each validator must maintain a KMS (Key Management Service) for private key protection.
Warp UI Customization
A custom fork of the official Hyperlane Warp UI will be developed to support Terra Classic:
- Accurate CW20 token balance tracking (via Cosmos SDK)
- Automatic approval using
transfer_from - Smooth visual integration between Terra Classic and other networks
- A modern, open-source, and transparent interface accessible to all users
Full documentation will be provided, enabling other developers to:
- Deploy their own Warp UIs
- Maintain or extend existing ones
Future Network Expansions
The initial deployment will include Ethereum, BSC, and Solana.
Future proposals may extend bridge connectivity to other networks supported by Hyperlane, including:
Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, Celo, Gnosis Chain, Moonbeam, Optimism, Fantom, Harmony, and Aurora.
Budget
| Item | Description | Amount (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Hyperlane Infrastructure | Full deployment of contracts, validators, and relayers | $9,000 |
| Warp UI (Fork) | CW20 integration, customization, and documentation | $3,000 |
Total Initial Cost: $12,000
Timeline
| Phase | Description | Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research & Testing | Over 3 months of local development and testing |  Completed | |
| Deployment | Contracts, validators, and relayers setup | 30 days |  Pending |
| Warp UI | Interface integration and customization | Parallel to deployment | Pending |
Payment Conditions
Payment will only occur after full production deployment and public verification by the community.
A separate payment proposal will be created after KYC completion.
Risks and Responsibility
- Hyperlane is an open-source, community-maintained protocol
- The proposer acts as the developer and deployer, not the protocol owner
- Bugs or vulnerabilities in Hyperlane’s core code are outside the proposer’s control
- Deployment will strictly follow official documentation and recommended best practices
Expected Impact
- Restores interoperability lost after Wormhole discontinuation
- Establishes a community-owned decentralized bridge
- Expands Terra Classic’s liquidity reach into major DeFi ecosystems
- Increases visibility and adoption of LUNC, USTC, and CW20 tokens
- Strengthens innovation, resilience, and autonomy of the Terra Classic network
Conclusion
The Hyperlane integration marks a key milestone toward restoring interoperability and liquidity for Terra Classic.
With a community-operated infrastructure, the network gains true independence and sustainability.
A modest $12,000 budget and a 30-day deployment will position Terra Classic back into the global multichain ecosystem, fully controlled by its community.
