Elixir Protocol
Elixir Protocol is a decentralized liquidity network purpose-built to provide market-making liquidity to order-book exchanges like Hyperliquid. Rather than using AMMs, Elixir allows retail users to deposit assets and earn yield from professional-grade order-book market-making strategies—typically reserved for institutional desks. Elixir's smart order routing places bids and asks near the midpoint on Hyperliquid's order book, capturing the bid-ask spread and distributing proceeds to depositors. This democratizes access to market-making returns while simultaneously deepening liquidity on Hyperliquid's native perp and spot markets. Elixir has partnered with multiple order-book DEXes to become a cornerstone of on-chain market making, and its integration with Hyperliquid creates a two-sided value proposition: retail yield for depositors and improved liquidity for all Hyperliquid traders. The protocol issues deUSD, a synthetic stablecoin backed by market-making positions.

Euler Finance is a modular lending protocol built on the Ethereum Vault Connector (EVC), enabling permissionless creation of isolated lending markets with customizable risk parameters. Unlike monolithic lending protocols, Euler v2 allows any token to be listed in a vault with fine-grained control over collateral factors, interest rate models, and liquidation logic. As HyperEVM adoption grows, Euler's architecture is well-suited to support the long-tail of Hyperliquid spot tokens as borrowable and collateralizable assets. Its EVC enables complex vault interactions—like using yield-bearing positions as collateral—that unlock advanced DeFi strategies. Euler's emphasis on security, with multiple audits and a sophisticated risk framework, makes it a strong fit for protocols building sophisticated credit markets on Hyperliquid. The protocol returned stronger than ever after its v1 incident, with v2's modular design learned from that experience.

Ecosystem Integration
Elixir Protocol
Elixir Protocol operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
Euler Finance
Euler Finance operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
Both protocols share the same layer, maximizing composability potential.
