Renzo needed a secure, fast-to-market interoperability solution to launch their multichain asset, ezETH, without compromising on sovereignty or autonomy over the assets issued. They wanted to support EVM as well as Solana to reach the widest possible market, and to use a non-standard security scheme for multi-chain issuance.

Hyperlane’s core development team delivered a Managed Deployment, leveraging their deep expertise in Hyperlane’s contracts and architecture to assemble a customized implementation of Hyperlane asset issuance for the Renzo team, within weeks. ezETH is issued as a Hyperlane Warp Asset (HWA) running on Hyperlane Warp Routes (HWR) across multiple chains, to preserve composability and prevent liquidity fragmentation when moving between EVM and Solana.

To further enhance security—beyond Hyperlane’s pre-audited and widely implemented issuance contracts—Renzo used a discrete, permissioned validator set that required a custom Interchain Security Module (ISMs) to tune protocol security to their exact needs. Each customized element was implemented using Hyperlane's open source code, ensuring Renzo maintained complete control and autonomy while relying on Hyperlane infrastructure.

As of August 2025, Renzo has issued over $1.5B of assets with $2.7B of volume flowing through Hyperlane’s interoperability rails across chains and VMs. Connected by Hyperlane, ezETH is issued on 16 chains with a median issuance latency of 33 seconds, despite traveling among otherwise incompatible virtual machine environments.
