Overview

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.

Timeswap

Timeswap is a fully decentralized, oracle-free lending and borrowing protocol deployed on HyperEVM. It solves one of DeFi's most persistent structural problems: the fragility of oracle-dependent liquidation systems, which expose borrowers to cascading liquidations during volatile markets. Timeswap replaces this model with a novel three-variable AMM — balancing principal, interest, and collateral — that allows lenders and borrowers to set their own terms without relying on external price feeds. Borrowers deposit collateral and select a maturity date; if the loan is repaid before maturity, they reclaim their collateral in full. If not, the collateral transfers to lenders — creating a liquidation-free experience where the worst-case outcome is transparent and defined upfront. This design makes Timeswap uniquely well-suited for long-tail and volatile assets that oracle-dependent protocols cannot safely list. On HyperEVM, Timeswap gains access to Hyperliquid's deep liquidity, active trader community, and expanding DeFi ecosystem, enabling it to serve assets native to the chain. For yield seekers, it offers fixed-rate lending with clearly defined risk parameters; for borrowers, it removes the anxiety of unexpected liquidation.
