Wormhole is bringing multichain assets from major ecosystems to Base on Aerodrome, with HYPE, HyperEVM’s native token, going live today. This establishes a long-term framework for bringing high-demand assets from major blockchain networks directly to Base, supported by Aerodrome's deep liquidity.

Why HYPE

HYPE is the first asset arriving on Base through this effort, selected for its scale and ecosystem significance. HYPE, with a $13 billion market capitalization, represents a major addition to the Base ecosystem. HyperEVM is powered by Hyperliquid, a high-performance blockchain built to unify trading, apps, and token launches on a single chain designed to house all of finance. In the future, Wormhole will work to bring more high-demand assets to Base on Aerodrome.

Scaling Base's Asset Ecosystem

With Wormhole Portal, users can now transfer HYPE from HyperEVM directly into Base. Portal’s $55 billion in all-time volume across 1 million+ users demonstrates its proven track record for secure asset transfers. Portal is powered by Wormhole's battle-tested infrastructure, which has facilitated over $68 billion in multichain transfers across 1+ billion messages. This provides the security and reliability required for institutional-scale liquidity on Base.
