Over the past few years, Hyperweb (formerly Cosmology) has been at the forefront of building tools for the Cosmos ecosystem, empowering developers to create decentralized applications with ease. Today, we’re excited to announce the next step in this journey: the **Interchain JavaScript Stack**, a reimagining of our core tooling to align with the vision of the Interchain as a truly connected Internet of Blockchains.

## A Unified Suite of Developer Tools

Before we dive into what’s new, let’s look at the full suite of tools Hyperweb has built, and their respective purposes:

- **[Cosmos Kit](https://hyperweb.io/stack/cosmos-kit)**: A wallet adapter simplifying wallet connections for apps using Cosmos-based blockchains.
- **[Create Cosmos App](https://hyperweb.io/stack/create-cosmos-app)**: A starter kit for building Cosmos applications preconfigured with Cosmos Kit, Telescope, and other essential tools.
- **[Telescope](https://hyperweb.io/stack/telescope)**: A TypeScript transpiler that generates SDKs from Cosmos Protobufs.
- **[TSCodegen](https://hyperweb.io/stack/ts-codegen)**: A tool for converting CosmWasm smart contracts into TypeScript libraries.
- **[Chain Registry](https://hyperweb.io/stack/chain-registry)**: A repository of Cosmos chain and asset metadata for easy integration into dApps.
- **[Interchain UI](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchain-kit)**: A cross-framework library of UI components tailored for Cosmos apps with first-class support for React and Vue.
- **[Starship](https://hyperweb.io/stack/starship)**: A unified development environment for spinning up simulated Cosmos ecosystems and running end-to-end tests.

### Special Note on CosmJS

While **CosmJS** was not originally built by us, it played a foundational role in enabling JavaScript-based interaction with Cosmos SDK chains. Originally developed by **Simon Warta and the team at Confio**, CosmJS became the first mainstream JavaScript library in the Cosmos ecosystem, inspiring the entire **Interchain JavaScript Stack**. After inheriting it, we completely rebuilt it from the ground up to improve performance, modularity, and cross-chain support—laying the groundwork for the next generation of signing libraries.

## Rebranding for the Future: The Interchain JavaScript Stack

To reflect the growing role of these tools in enabling cross-chain and cross-ecosystem interoperability, we’ve rebranded key parts of the stack and upgraded their functionality:

- **[CosmJS → InterchainJS](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchainjs)**: Built upon the foundation of CosmJS, but fully re-engineered by Hyperweb to support all blockchains, including Cosmos SDK and EVM networks, with support for EIP712.
- **[Cosmos Kit → Interchain Kit](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchain-kit)**: Expanded to support wallets like Metamask alongside Cosmos wallets like Keplr and Ledger, providing a unified wallet adapter.
- **[Create Cosmos App → Create Interchain App](https://hyperweb.io/stack/create-interchain-app)**: A starter kit to bootstrap cross-chain apps using InterchainJS, Interchain Kit, and Interchain UI.

## What’s New in the Stack?


### Telescope  
[Telescope](https://hyperweb.io/stack/telescope) has undergone a complete overhaul, introducing new capabilities to enhance efficiency, reduce code bloat, and provide a professional development experience. These updates make it a versatile tool for building high-performance applications across the interchain ecosystem.  

#### Key Updates:  
- **Now Supports InterchainJS**: Telescope now generates TypeScript client libraries that are fully compatible with [InterchainJS](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchainjs), enabling seamless multi-chain signing and transaction management.  
- **Expanded State Management Support**: Now supports more state management libraries, including React and Vue for TanStack Query, making it easier to integrate blockchain data with modern frontend frameworks.  
- **Dynamic Helper Methods**: A plugin for generating helper methods dynamically, enabling developers to customize their clients with only the modules they need.  
- **Tree-shaking Capabilities**: Optimized bundle sizes to improve performance and reduce unnecessary code.  
- **Automated Encoding Processes**: Simplifies complex encoding tasks, saving development time and effort.  

This upgrade ensures that developers can integrate Telescope-generated code with the evolving Interchain JavaScript ecosystem while benefiting from improved performance, broader blockchain compatibility, and better frontend state management.

### InterchainJS
[InterchainJS](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchainjs) builds on the foundation of CosmJS but now supports a broader range of blockchains.

#### Key Updates:
- **Adaptability for Multiple Networks**: Makes it easier to integrate with various blockchain ecosystems.
- **Modular and Extensible Client**: Rebuilt the core structure to allow developers to define their own message types and customize their clients with Telescope plugins.
- **Pipeline for Signing and Broadcasting**: Enables a simplified and intuitive transaction flow.
- **Eliminating Redundant Code**: Removed hard-coded helper methods, such as `sendTokens()` and `withdrawRewards()`, enabled by Telescope's code generation capabilities.
- **Removal of `cosmjs-types` Dependency**: Reduced the bundle size by including only essential types like `TxRaw`.

With its adapter pattern, InterchainJS offers universal signing capabilities and better performance, thanks to tree-shaking and reduced bundle sizes.

### Interchain Kit
[Interchain Kit](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchain-kit) extends wallet interoperability, bringing together wallets from both Cosmos and non-Cosmos ecosystems. This allows developers to integrate Metamask, Keplr, and others seamlessly into their applications.

### Create Interchain App
[Create Interchain App](https://hyperweb.io/stack/create-interchain-app) bundles all the tools needed for rapid dApp development. With InterchainJS, Interchain Kit, and prebuilt UI components from the Interchain UI Kit, developers can launch cross-chain applications faster than ever.

### Interchain UI
[Interchain UI](https://hyperweb.io/stack/interchain-ui) continues to be the go-to resource for customizable UI components, now supports both React and Vue.js, ensuring developers across frameworks can build cohesive and scalable dApps.

### Hyperweb Virtual Machine (HVM)
The **[Hyperweb Virtual Machine (HVM)](https://hyperweb.io/stack/hyperweb)** is a universal execution environment that brings **TypeScript and JavaScript** smart contracts on-chain with a **“write once, run everywhere”** approach. By removing barriers imposed by traditional blockchain architectures, HVM allows developers to build decentralized applications using familiar tools while ensuring security, efficiency, and seamless interoperability. Designed for flexibility, HVM abstracts away complexity, making **Web3 development as accessible and scalable as modern web applications**.
