Hyperweb Releases Whitepaper Detailing Full-Stack TypeScript Platform for Developing Blockchain Applications

From Hyperweb’s Interchain JavaScript Hub, smart contracts will execute across chains, powered by the Hyperweb Virtual Machine (HVM)

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperweb, an end-to-end TypeScript ecosystem for building decentralized applications, today announced the release of its whitepaper outlining a new blockchain development platform that enables JavaScript developers to create onchain applications using familiar tools. It details the Hyperweb Virtual Machine, which enables developers to execute TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript.

The Hyperweb Virtual Machine (HVM) brings JavaScript onchain. Currently, while there are only about 24,000 programmers who specialize in blockchain development, approximately 20 million developers use JavaScript to build websites and applications. Technical barriers have limited innovation in decentralized applications, particularly the necessity of learning arcane web3-only programming languages. Hyperweb addresses this gap by allowing developers to use TypeScript to build blockchain applications.

The HVM further ushers in a new era of cross-chain smart contracts. Just as JavaScript can run on virtually any website in web2, with Hyperweb it can run across blockchains. This is an entirely new paradigm in decentralized computing whereby developers can write smart contracts in a single language designed to execute across blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos. Hyperweb will serve as the Interchain JavaScript Hub and will enable developers to control actions on other chains, providing a new developer experience for simple cross-chain development.

The Hyperweb platform builds on a successful collaboration between Confio and Hyperweb (formerly Cosmology), two of the primary teams behind the interchain ecosystem. Confio, led by Managing Director Simon Warta, developed and maintains CosmWasm, a smart contract platform that currently powers over 100 blockchain networks. Hyperweb’s development tools and infrastructure support over 200 blockchain networks. Both teams’ products are foundational for multi-billion-dollar market cap giants like dYdX, Celestia, and Osmosis, which process billions of dollars of transactions monthly. This comprehensive coverage, from client-side tools to smart contracts, has established both companies as foundational builders in the blockchain space.

Dan Lynch, founder of Hyperweb, explains:
“Our years-long work developing the tooling for the interchain has enabled thousands of developers to create applications processing billions of dollars of value. The Hyperweb whitepaper outlines how we’re applying these lessons to create a more accessible blockchain developer experience.”

Simon Warta, Managing Director of Confio and Maintainer of CosmWasm, adds:
“Our experience building CosmWasm and seeing its adoption across major blockchain networks has shown us the challenges of building a robust VM as well as a flourishing ecosystem. The Hyperweb Virtual Machine (HVM) builds on these insights to create a streamlined experience for JavaScript developers.”

The whitepaper’s authors include:

Dan Lynch, founder of Hyperweb, founder of Brandcast (acquired by TIME)Simon Warta, Managing Director of Confio and Maintainer of CosmWasm, the de facto smart contracting framework for the interchain.Jeet Raut, former Ecosystem lead at Agoric and co-founder of Behold.aiAnmol Yadav, inventor of Starship, former Persistence engineer, IIT alumJovonni Pharr, former security at Certik, director of blockchain at Coreum, protocol engineering at 3Box Labs, R&D at State Farm, and developer relations engineering at Agoric

The platform integrates with other blockchain systems through the Cosmos SDK, enabling general message passing between different blockchain networks. This builds on the extensive infrastructure previously developed by the Confio and Hyperweb teams, which currently supports hundreds of blockchain networks in the interchain ecosystem.

About Hyperweb

Hyperweb, formerly Cosmology, is the end-to-end TypeScript blockchain ecosystem that provides best-in-class UI and client-side tooling through its smart contract development environment. By enabling smart contract creation in the most popular development language on the planet, Hyperweb significantly lowers the barrier to entry for the 20 million+ JavaScript developers worldwide.

Hyperweb’s Interchain JavaScript Stack includes essential components like InterchainJS, Interchain Kit, Telescope, and Starship, all designed to streamline blockchain development across hundreds of networks. These tools have democratized access to blockchain technology, inspiring developers to craft innovative, user-centric solutions instead of wrestling with technical complexities.

Hyperweb redefines software creation with the “printing press” for code, democratizing development and elevating developers to work on a higher conceptual plane. Through this democratized approach, our developer tools for Web2, Web3, and AI have amassed over 40 million downloads. Our Web3 suite supports 200+ blockchains, while LaunchQL, our database toolkit, powers 2M+ databases for industry leaders like Supabase and Neon DB. Founder Dan Lynch brings two decades of expertise in launching successful no-code ventures, raising over $120M and serving Fortune 100 brands. His no-code website builder, Brandcast, was acquired by TIME.

Eqvista Launches Company-Sponsored Tender Offers, Expanding Private Market Liquidity Capabilities

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
