• Cosmology Launches Hyperweb, Intuitive Blockchain Ecosystem

     Cosmology is excited to announce the launch of Hyperweb, a groundbreaking end-to-end TypeScript blockchain ecosystem that empowers developers with best-in-class UI and client-side tooling paired with a TypeScript smart contract development environment.

    Built on Cosmology’s innovative vision for no-chain web development, Hyperweb eliminates the technical barriers that have limited decentralized app development to a niche group of 26,000 active Web3-specific programmers (Electric Capital). Just as Node.js brought JavaScript to the server-side and revolutionized Web2, Hyperweb does the same for Web3. With its UI, client-side tools, and TypeScript-based smart contracts, it seamlessly connects frontend and backend development, enabling builders to deploy on-chain applications using the world’s most popular programming language. This unified approach closes the gap between web and blockchain development, allowing developers to craft both user interfaces and smart contracts in a familiar, accessible environment.

    “Hyperweb allows the 20 million-strong Javascript developer community to easily begin experimenting with the world of decentralized applications, reducing the steep learning curve often associated with blockchain development,” said Dan Lynch, Founder of Cosmology. “Our goal is to make Web3 development as intuitive as building websites in Web2, with a focus on usability and accessibility.”

    What started as a simple innovation for web design laid the foundation for a much bigger vision: empowering developers across multiple digital eras.

    Lynch and Cosmology have a history of simplifying complex web development. In his first ventures, Lynch created drag-and-drop, no-code website builders — tools that transformed how enterprises and small developers alike built online experiences without needing technical expertise.

    The launch of Hyperweb represents the evolution of no-code and low-code with “no-chain,” embracing an ethnographic design approach that caters to Web2 and JavaScript developers. It provides a familiar environment for creating decentralized applications using TypeScript and JavaScript, unlike current blockchain technologies that often require learning esoteric languages.

    The key is shared syntax for the data between the frontend and backend of development. As the first blockchain bringing TypeScript on-chain, Hyperweb empowers web developers to harness composability and censorship resistance using their current skill set and traditional development practices, effectively giving them a new superpower in dApp creation.

    “With Hyperweb we can finally make the web whole again,” added Lynch. “Web3 has existed as a largely isolated ecosystem when its greatest potential lies in augmenting the existing web. On Hyperweb developers from all backgrounds — whether Web1, Web2, or Web3 — can collaborate and innovate.”

    Bringing Hyperweb into existence is Cosmology, a team that includes pioneers who architected and built IBC, the Cosmos SDK, Tendermint, and the Cosmos Hub and Osmosis blockchains. Their expertise in developer experience and tooling for the interchain is central to Hyperweb’s mission.
