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 websiteLooped HYPE
Looped HYPE is a recursive liquid staking protocol on HyperEVM that amplifies staking yield on HYPE tokens through automated leverage loops. Instead of earning simple base staking returns, users deposit HYPE or liquid-staked HYPE derivatives (such as kHYPE or stHYPE), which the protocol loops through a borrow-deposit cycle: staked assets serve as collateral to borrow more HYPE, which is restaked — repeating the cycle multiple times to compound exposure. This recursive strategy enables effective yield exposure of 3x to 15x the base staking APR, without requiring users to manually manage individual loan positions, monitor collateral ratios, or handle rebalancing themselves. Looped HYPE handles health monitoring, automatic rebalancing, and reward compounding entirely on-chain, abstracting the complexity of leveraged staking into a single deposit experience. The protocol integrates natively with Hyperliquid's liquid staking ecosystem and HyperEVM's lending infrastructure, making it composable with the broader DeFi stack. Looped HYPE is designed for yield-maximizing HYPE holders who want meaningful capital efficiency and amplified staking returns without giving up the underlying security of Hyperliquid's proof-of-stake layer.

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.
Looped HYPE
Looped HYPE 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.
Both protocols share the same layer, maximizing composability potential.
