Hyperliquid Names
Hyperliquid Names is an on-chain domain naming service for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, enabling users to register human-readable .hl domains that map to wallet addresses and on-chain identities. Similar to ENS on Ethereum, Hyperliquid Names solves a fundamental UX problem: cryptographic wallet addresses are long, error-prone hex strings that are nearly impossible to remember or share reliably. With a .hl domain, you can send assets to alice.hl instead of a 42-character address — dramatically improving usability and reducing the risk of costly transfer errors. Domains are registered on-chain, ensuring ownership is trustless and censorship-resistant — no central authority can revoke your name. Beyond simple address resolution, .hl domains can store metadata such as social profiles, website links, and avatar images, serving as a portable on-chain identity layer across Hyperliquid applications. As the ecosystem expands with wallets, DEXs, trading interfaces, and social apps, a unified naming layer becomes essential infrastructure for user experience. Early adopters can claim short premium names before they become scarce, and a secondary market for valuable .hl domains is already forming among ecosystem participants.
Visit websiteLiquidSwap
LiquidSwap, built by Liquid Labs, is a DEX aggregator on the Hyperliquid ecosystem that routes swaps across both HyperEVM decentralized exchanges and HyperCore's native order-book liquidity to guarantee users the best available price for every trade. Most DeFi aggregators operate within a single execution layer, but LiquidSwap's cross-layer architecture bridges the gap between HyperEVM's AMM-based DEXs and HyperCore's high-performance central limit order book — giving traders unified, one-click access to the deepest combined liquidity pool in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Smart routing logic splits and sizes orders across multiple venues when beneficial, reducing price impact on larger trades and consistently capturing better execution than any single DEX could provide. Liquid Labs designed LiquidSwap to serve as the default swap infrastructure layer for HyperEVM users, abstracting away the complexity of choosing between trading venues, managing slippage, and navigating the boundary between execution environments. The result is a seamless, low-friction trading experience that competes on both price and speed — well-suited to a chain where ultra-low latency and high throughput are first-class features of the underlying architecture.

Key Differences
Layer Architecture
Hyperliquid Names operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1), while LiquidSwap runs on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). This affects composability, transaction speed, and the types of integrations each protocol supports.
Category Focus
Hyperliquid Names is focused on wallets & account abstraction, while LiquidSwap targets decentralized exchanges. They serve different user needs within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Unique Features
Hyperliquid Names is distinguished by: domains, identity, naming, ENS-style. LiquidSwap stands out with: DEX-aggregator, routing, cross-layer.
When to Use Each
Choose Hyperliquid Names if you...
- ✓Want a wallets & account abstraction solution on HyperEVM
- ✓Need features like domains and identity
- ✓Need: .hl domain names for the Hyperliquid ecosystem
Choose LiquidSwap if you...

Ecosystem Integration
Hyperliquid Names
Hyperliquid Names operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1). As a HyperEVM protocol, it can compose with other EVM-based DeFi primitives and leverage smart contract flexibility.
LiquidSwap
LiquidSwap operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
