Introducing HyperSDK: A Foundation for the Fastest Blockchains of the Future

Validated Project

Introducing HyperSDK, the first framework for building high performance Virtual Machines from scratch on Avalanche, providing developers a foundation to build the fastest blockchains in the world, out-of-the-box.

Creating custom Virtual Machines (VMs) is one of the most powerful ways to build on Avalanche. HyperSDK is designed to simplify and accelerate custom VM development, making it safer and easier to launch your own optimized blockchain.

By abstracting away common runtime complexities, HyperSDK provides industry-leading performance and empowers builders to focus on customizations that matter to them. For example, an operator can launch an on-chain video game with the flexibility of fine tuning the architecture for better gameplay, knowing that HyperSDK will execute their transactions quickly and efficiently behind-the-scenes.

HyperSDK is structured so that developers can plug-into a lightning fast execution environment without writing massive amounts of code from scratch, reducing the time it takes to build your own blockchain runtime from many months to just a few days.

For a detailed outline of all of HyperSDK’s features and performance optimizations, visit the GitHub Repo.

HyperVMs and HyperChains

Blockchains built with HyperSDK are called HyperChains and can be adapted for any function the developer wishes. From NFT marketplaces to DeFi protocols, HyperSDK ushers in a new era for Avalanche builders to express their full creativity. A demo of the first HyperVM, IndexVM, can be found here.

Though still raw and evolving, HyperSDK represents the next step in empowering crypto-native developers with open source blockchain technology. With this launch, builders can collaborate on and experiment with building the next generation of high-performance, interconnected, optimized blockchains.

Build With Us

HyperSDK is a major milestone in the Avalanche vision of creating a seamlessly interconnected web of highly optimized blockchains. But this is just the beginning. The infrastructure for the decentralized economy is being built everyday by passionate open-source developers across the planet.

No matter if you are an engineer, tinkerer or just an enthusiast, we hope you will join us in this exciting journey to build the future of custom Virtual Machines and unlock the performance necessary to tokenize the world.

The HyperSDK public devnet will launch publicly in the near future with native Avalanche Warp Messaging support. Developers that want to participate can prepare by joining the HyperSDK Discord, Builders Discussion and GitHub Repo.

For details about upcoming community calls hosted by Ava Labs Head of Engineering Patrick O’Grady, follow Avalanche on Twitter. For questions about how to create your own blockchain on Avalanche, contact the AvaStudios team.

Disclaimer: HyperSDK is considered an ALPHA software and is not yet safe to use in production. The framework is under active development and may change over the coming months as its modules are optimized and audited.

  • Two Departments: Support for Reinsurance Institutions to Increase Capital and Issue Supplementary Capital Tools

    On July 7, the National Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau and the Shanghai Municipal Government released several measures to accelerate the construction of the Shanghai International Reinsurance Center. Among these measures, they proposed to enhance the quality and efficiency of the reinsurance industry, support reinsurance institutions in increasing capital and expanding shares, and issuing supplementary capital tools to improve the capacity for internal capital accumulation and external capital supplementation, thereby strengthening the reinsurance industry's capabilities. The initiative aims to guide the insurance industry to focus on major national projects, strategic emerging industries, and livelihood security, consolidating insurance and reinsurance underwriting capabilities to enhance risk protection levels. It also supports reinsurance institutions in leveraging their professional technical advantages to assist the insurance industry in reducing risk.

  • Sources: Saudi Arabia Plans to Expand Oil Pipeline to Red Sea, Increasing Capacity by 2 Million Barrels Daily to Bypass Strait of Hormuz

    On July 7, five informed sources revealed that Saudi Arabia is considering expanding the crude oil pipeline capacity to its western coast on the Red Sea, allowing Saudi Arabia and its neighbors to transport more oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This east-west pipeline, built in the early 1980s, has gained strategic importance since the outbreak of the Iran war in February and the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The pipeline can deliver up to 7 million barrels of crude oil per day to the Red Sea port. The CEO of Saudi Aramco stated in May that approximately 2 million barrels are supplied to west coast refineries, while about 5 million barrels are for export. Sources indicate that Saudi Arabia is in preliminary discussions with some neighboring countries regarding the pipeline expansion, aiming to add about 2 million barrels of pipeline capacity per day. It remains unclear whether Aramco's planned expansion involves upgrading existing infrastructure or constructing new pipelines. One source mentioned that the expansion plan also includes a smaller refined oil pipeline. Two sources indicated that the expansion scale could range from 1 million to 2 million barrels per day, with refined oil also being considered. Another source stated that the project would take several years and cost billions of dollars, requiring adjustments to Saudi crude pricing mechanisms.

  • Citi: Tencent's WorkBuddy Gains Momentum, Maintains 'Buy' Rating

    On July 7, Citi released a research report stating that, according to the latest industry data, Tencent's AI agent product WorkBuddy has reached 20 million monthly active users (MAU) and over 13 million daily active users (DAU), with a DAU/MAU ratio between 65% and 75%. Considering the product has only been launched for a few months, user stickiness and daily engagement are performing strongly. Citi quoted Tencent's management as saying that in terms of daily active users, Tencent is leading its Chinese peers in the deployment of AI agents. Early user data reflects strong natural growth for both CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy, with high retention rates. Early users are interacting with the AI agents for long durations and with high frequency, creating a positive feedback loop. It is expected that AI products will become a key revenue source for Tencent Cloud. The firm believes that WorkBuddy's success demonstrates the strength of Tencent's ecosystem, the synergy between various productivity tools, and users' trust in Tencent's products and security. Citi maintains a 'Buy' rating on Tencent with a target price of HKD 763 unchanged.
