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.

Tempest Finance is a yield vault protocol native to the HyperEVM ecosystem, offering automated strategies for Hyperliquid users to earn passive income on their assets. Tempest deploys capital into optimized DeFi strategies spanning liquidity provision, lending, and perps trading—all within the Hyperliquid network. Its vaults abstract away the complexity of multi-protocol yield farming, allowing users to access diversified yield with a single deposit. Tempest's strategy engine dynamically allocates capital based on current yields, gas costs, and risk-adjusted returns, continuously rebalancing to maintain optimal performance. With a focus on native HyperEVM integrations and composability with Hyperliquid's spot and perp markets, Tempest is emerging as a core yield layer for HYPE holders and Hyperliquid DeFi participants who want to put their assets to work without active management or deep technical knowledge of multi-protocol interactions.
