HyperLaunch
HyperLaunch is a permissionless NFT and token launchpad native to the HyperEVM ecosystem, enabling projects to launch collections, conduct fair sales, and build communities directly on Hyperliquid's blockchain. HyperLaunch's launchpad framework supports multiple sale mechanisms including Dutch auctions, whitelist mints, and bonding curve launches—giving project teams flexibility in how they distribute tokens and NFTs to their communities. Integrated with Hyperliquid's native spot order books, HyperLaunch-launched NFTs and tokens can immediately begin trading on Hyperliquid's market infrastructure without needing additional DEX listings. The platform's built-in royalty enforcement and creator royalty splits ensure sustainable economics for HyperEVM creative projects. As Hyperliquid's NFT ecosystem matures, HyperLaunch serves as the primary infrastructure for bootstrapping new community projects and token launches within the Hyperliquid universe, lowering barriers for builders to access the ecosystem's growing user base.
Visit websitePendle Finance
Pendle Finance is a yield-trading protocol that tokenizes future yield, allowing users to trade, hedge, and speculate on yield movements. By wrapping yield-bearing assets into Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT), Pendle enables fixed-rate borrowing through PT purchases and leveraged yield exposure through YT. As HyperEVM generates its own yield-bearing primitives—from liquid staking (stHYPE, LHYPE) to lending receipts—Pendle creates a yield marketplace where Hyperliquid users can lock in fixed returns or maximize yield exposure. Pendle's specialized AMM is calibrated for yield curves, minimizing impermanent loss for LPs while offering attractive fee income. The protocol has amassed billions in TVL on Ethereum and Arbitrum, and its expansion to HyperEVM brings sophisticated fixed-income tools to the Hyperliquid DeFi stack. For yield-seeking Hyperliquid participants, Pendle offers the ability to convert uncertain variable yields into predictable fixed returns.
