HyperChain in 2026: Shipping a Rollup-native Web3 UX
February 2, 2026
HyperChain exploded in early 2026 with sub-second optimistic confirmations and zero-gas onboarding. I took that hype and shipped a full-stack experience that converts normies into power users without dumping a seed phrase on them.
1. Walletless Sign-In with Passkeys
- Registered a WebAuthn passkey as soon as the user hits
/enter. - Stored the resulting attestation inside an encrypted Supabase row, tied to a HyperChain smart session.
- Issued a non-transferable
OnboardedSoulNFT so on-chain actions can skip extra KYC.
2. Intent Router for Swaps
The front-end never calls AMM contracts directly. Instead, I stream user intents into a TypeScript service that evaluates liquidity and MEV risk.
import { buildIntent } from "@hyperchain/intent-kit";
export async function routeSwap({ tokenIn, tokenOut, amount }) {
const intent = await buildIntent({ tokenIn, tokenOut, amount, slippageBps: 15 });
const { route, expectedFill } = await fetch("https://intent-router.xaid.in", {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify(intent),
}).then((res) => res.json());
return { route, expectedFill };
}
This lets me aggregate HyperChain’s native DEXs, cross-chain liquidity, and sequencer auctions without exposing users to raw calldata.
3. zkSync’d Analytics Dashboard
Every executed intent streams into a Kafka topic. I mirror it into a ClickHouse cluster, run zk proofs with MatterLabs’ updated zksync-analytics SDK, and render charts in a React dashboard using Tremor.
- Users see slippage trends, gas rebates, and sequencer queue depth.
- Proof outputs give compliance teams cryptographically verifiable summaries.
4. Re-engagement Loop
- Weekly intent recap emails powered by Resend.
- In-app tasks reward users with HyperChain Boosters (on-chain achievements).
- A Telegram mini-app mirrors the portfolio summary, because that’s where crypto alpha still lives.
HyperChain is the first L2 that finally made intents feel native. If you want the starter kit (Next.js + wagmi + HyperChain SDK), join the private drop list at xaid.in/contact.
