Gamma Strategies
Gamma Strategies is an active liquidity management protocol for concentrated liquidity AMMs, automating the complex position management required by Uniswap v3-style pools. By continuously rebalancing LP positions within optimal price ranges, Gamma maximizes fee revenue while minimizing impermanent loss compared to passive LPing. On HyperEVM, where new AMMs with concentrated liquidity mechanics are launching, Gamma provides vault-based LP management that removes the technical burden from retail liquidity providers. Users simply deposit token pairs into Gamma vaults and receive automatically managed LP positions. With support for both symmetric and asymmetric liquidity strategies, Gamma is the go-to solution for sophisticated LP management on HyperEVM DEXes. Its passive income model makes DeFi liquidity provision accessible to users who want exposure to trading fee yields without the constant active management that concentrated liquidity pools require.

LayerZero is the leading omnichain interoperability protocol, and its integration with Hyperliquid — branded as Hyperbridge — connects HyperEVM to over 70 blockchain networks. Cross-chain interoperability is one of DeFi's most persistent challenges: assets and liquidity are siloed across ecosystems, forcing users to navigate complex and risky bridging flows. LayerZero solves this through its Ultra Light Node architecture, which uses decentralized oracles and relayers to pass arbitrary messages between chains with strong security guarantees — without requiring full node validation on every connected chain. Hyperbridge brings this infrastructure to HyperEVM, enabling native cross-chain token transfers, messaging, and protocol integrations with Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Solana, and dozens of other networks. For Hyperliquid's DeFi ecosystem, this unlocks the ability to import liquidity from other chains into HyperEVM protocols, launch omnichain tokens that exist natively across multiple networks simultaneously, and build cross-chain applications that tap Hyperliquid's high-performance execution environment. LayerZero's battle-tested infrastructure, securing billions in cross-chain value, provides the security foundation Hyperliquid's ecosystem needs to connect with the broader crypto world.

Ecosystem Integration
Gamma Strategies
Gamma Strategies operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
LayerZero
LayerZero 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.
