Overview
Growi HF
Growi HF is a quantitative asset management protocol built natively on Hyperliquid, offering permissionless strategy vaults powered by systematic, risk-adjusted trading algorithms. Designed for both passive investors and active DeFi participants, Growi HF eliminates the complexity of running sophisticated trading algorithms by packaging institutional-grade quant strategies into accessible on-chain vaults. Each vault employs distinct quantitative methodologies — from market-neutral delta strategies to momentum and mean-reversion approaches — all optimized for Hyperliquid's high-performance order book and deep liquidity. Traders benefit from transparent, fully on-chain execution with no hidden fees or centralized custody risks. By deploying directly on Hyperliquid's HyperCore, Growi HF's vaults access ultra-low latency trading infrastructure and some of the tightest spreads in decentralized perpetuals markets. Depositors earn yield proportional to vault performance, while the protocol automatically manages risk parameters including position sizing, drawdown limits, and rebalancing. Growi HF bridges institutional quantitative hedge fund methodology with the open, permissionless architecture of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Visit websiteTrade.xyz (HyperUnit)
Trade.xyz, developed by HyperUnit, made history as the first protocol to acquire a HIP-3 ticker on Hyperliquid, securing the XYZ100 listing. The platform enables 24/7 trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs — assets that traditional markets restrict to weekday trading hours. By bringing equities like Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and major ETFs on-chain, Trade.xyz solves a fundamental problem: global investors, particularly those outside the US, face geographic restrictions and time-zone barriers when accessing US stock markets. On Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book, tokenized equities benefit from near-instant settlement, deep liquidity, and the same seamless trading experience as crypto perpetuals. The XYZ100 ticker functions as an index exposure product, giving users diversified equity exposure in a single position. Tokenization is handled in a trust-minimized manner, ensuring price fidelity with underlying assets. Trade.xyz represents the convergence of TradFi and DeFi — crypto-native infrastructure meeting traditional asset classes — and is a flagship demonstration of what Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard enables for real-world asset trading at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
