Drip Trade
Drip Trade is the first and leading native NFT marketplace on Hyperliquid, built entirely on-chain and non-custodial from day one. Unlike bridged or wrapped NFT solutions, Drip Trade is purpose-built for Hyperliquid infrastructure, delivering fast, low-cost NFT trading without relying on third-party custodians or off-chain order books. Users can list, buy, and sell NFTs directly from their wallets with full asset sovereignty throughout — no deposits, no intermediaries. The platform fills a critical gap in the Hyperliquid ecosystem by providing a dedicated NFT trading venue that matches the speed and efficiency the chain is known for. Key features include on-chain order matching, collection browsing, rarity and trait filtering, and a streamlined trading interface suited to both newcomers and power users. As the Hyperliquid NFT ecosystem grows and more collections launch on HyperEVM, Drip Trade is positioned as the primary destination for NFT discovery and liquidity. Its native integration ensures traders benefit from near-instant finality and low fees — the same standards that define the broader Hyperliquid experience — making it the natural home for digital collectibles on the network.

Growi HF is a quantitative asset management protocol built natively on Hyperliquid, offering permissionless strategy vaults powered by systematic, risk-adjusted trading algorithms. Designed for both passive investors and active DeFi participants, Growi HF eliminates the complexity of running sophisticated trading algorithms by packaging institutional-grade quant strategies into accessible on-chain vaults. Each vault employs distinct quantitative methodologies — from market-neutral delta strategies to momentum and mean-reversion approaches — all optimized for Hyperliquid's high-performance order book and deep liquidity. Traders benefit from transparent, fully on-chain execution with no hidden fees or centralized custody risks. By deploying directly on Hyperliquid's HyperCore, Growi HF's vaults access ultra-low latency trading infrastructure and some of the tightest spreads in decentralized perpetuals markets. Depositors earn yield proportional to vault performance, while the protocol automatically manages risk parameters including position sizing, drawdown limits, and rebalancing. Growi HF bridges institutional quantitative hedge fund methodology with the open, permissionless architecture of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
