Overview

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.

Volmex

Volmex Finance is the leading protocol for crypto volatility products, offering on-chain implied volatility indices and derivatives. Their flagship products — BVIV (Bitcoin Implied Volatility Index) and EVIV (Ethereum Implied Volatility Index) — give traders a standardized way to hedge or speculate on market volatility, similar to how TradFi investors use the VIX. Volmex integrated with Hyperliquid via HIP-3, bringing perpetual volatility trading directly to the platform's high-performance order book. This allows Hyperliquid users to take long or short positions on crypto volatility without leaving the ecosystem. BVIV and EVIV are derived from options market data across major venues, providing transparent and manipulation-resistant benchmarks. For portfolio managers, volatility products serve as powerful hedging tools — when markets crash, volatility spikes, making BVIV/EVIV longs an effective hedge against spot or perp losses. Volmex's integration represents a significant step in bringing sophisticated TradFi-grade instruments to DeFi, deepening Hyperliquid's product suite beyond directional perpetuals and giving traders a complete toolkit to express volatility views and manage risk across all market conditions.
