Euler Finance
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.
Visit websiteHyperliquid Spot
Hyperliquid's native spot order book is the on-chain spot trading layer of the Hyperliquid L1, enabling permissionless listing and trading of tokens through the HIP-1 and HIP-2 token standards. Unlike AMM-based spot trading, Hyperliquid Spot uses a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) with 200k orders per second throughput, delivering CEX-equivalent matching engine performance for spot assets. HIP-1 provides the fungible token standard analogous to ERC-20, while HIP-2 governs hyperliquidity provision—requiring token deployers to seed initial order book liquidity. Tokens launched through this mechanism trade natively on Hyperliquid's CLOB alongside the perp markets, creating a unified liquidity environment. The native spot DEX has become the go-to venue for launching and trading Hyperliquid-native tokens like PURR, HYPE, and the growing list of HyperEVM-native project tokens, with billions in cumulative spot trading volume demonstrating strong adoption.

Ecosystem Integration
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.
Hyperliquid Spot
Hyperliquid Spot 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.
