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.

Privy is an embedded wallet and authentication infrastructure provider that enables HyperEVM developers to offer seamless, non-custodial wallet creation to users via email, phone, or social accounts. Unlike traditional wallet connect flows that require users to have MetaMask installed, Privy provisions in-app wallets using secure key management—allowing users to interact with HyperEVM DeFi protocols without any prior crypto experience. Privy's React SDK integrates in minutes and handles all key storage, recovery, and session management, while developers retain full control over the user experience. For NFT platforms, trading terminals, and DeFi frontends on HyperEVM, Privy dramatically lowers the onboarding barrier and increases conversion rates. Its cross-app wallets feature allows users to carry their Privy wallet identity across multiple HyperEVM applications with a single sign-on, creating a cohesive multi-app experience within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
