Hyperliquid Names vs Trail of Bits

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.

Trail of Bits

Trail of Bits is one of the most respected cybersecurity research and consulting firms in the blockchain space, providing world-class smart contract audits and security research for protocols building on HyperEVM and other EVM chains. With an interdisciplinary team including cryptographers and EVM experts, Trail of Bits applies rigorous static analysis, fuzzing with Echidna, formal verification with Manticore, and manual code review to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools miss. Trail of Bits has audited some of the most complex protocols in DeFi, including cryptographic libraries, cross-chain bridges, and lending protocols—all relevant to the infrastructure being built on Hyperliquid. Their public security research and open-source tooling (Slither, Echidna, Medusa) benefit the entire HyperEVM developer community beyond their paid audit clients, raising the security baseline of the entire ecosystem through freely available tools and research.
