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 websiteMountain Protocol
Mountain Protocol is the issuer of USDM, a regulated, yield-bearing stablecoin backed by short-term US Treasury bills that automatically passes through Treasury yields to holders on a daily rebasing basis. Unlike traditional stablecoins that capture yield for issuers, USDM distributes approximately 4-5% APY directly to holders simply by holding the token—making it a compelling alternative to USDC and USDT in the HyperEVM ecosystem. As HyperEVM lending protocols and yield vaults integrate USDM as a base asset, Hyperliquid traders can earn real-world Treasury yields on their idle stablecoin balances between trades. Mountain Protocol operates under regulatory oversight and maintains full reserve attestations, providing institutional-grade compliance for DeFi protocols that need to satisfy regulatory requirements when deploying RWA-backed assets on Hyperliquid. USDM's daily rebasing model ensures yield accrues automatically without requiring any user action.

Key Differences
Layer Architecture
Hyperliquid Names operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1), while Mountain Protocol 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 Mountain Protocol targets rwa perps. They serve different user needs within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
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 Mountain Protocol if you...
- ✓Want a rwa perps solution on Multi-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.
Mountain Protocol
Mountain Protocol operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
