# Multichain

## Overview

$HYB is the native token of the Hybrid ecosystem. It is designed to be multichain from the ground up, ensuring that developers, Integrity Node operators, and users have maximum flexibility and deep liquidity across different blockchain networks.

### Supported Chains

$HYB is launching on multiple networks:

* **Base:**\
  The primary liquidity layer for onchain trading, DEX pools, and DeFi integrations. Base offers low fees, high throughput, and deep DeFi composability — making it ideal for broad community trading and staking.
* **BNB Smart Chain:**\
  An additional liquidity and user acquisition layer, leveraging BNB’s massive retail ecosystem. This ensures easy access for millions of users already active on BSC.
* **Arbitrum:**\
  The key product execution layer. This is where Hybrid’s Integrity Nodes operate, where AI agents process and validate data, and where decentralized workloads are anchored and verified.
* **Solana (exploratory):**\
  We are actively exploring bridging to Solana to unlock even more composable agent ecosystems and tap into Solana’s growing DeFi + NFT communities.

### Why Multichain?

This strategy ensures:

✅ **Broad Accessibility:** Users on different networks can hold and use $HYB without friction.\
✅ **Optimized Transaction Environments:** Trading on Base, onboarding via BNB, execution on Arbitrum — each chain is selected for its strengths.\
✅ **Deep Liquidity:** By launching liquidity on multiple chains, we align Hybrid’s incentives with major crypto ecosystems from day one.

### How to Bridge $HYB

$HYB uses **Axelar** for secure cross-chain bridging. This allows you to move your $HYB between Base, BNB Smart Chain, and Arbitrum seamlessly.

To bridge, use Squid Router:
