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 websiteThe Graph
The Graph is the decentralized indexing protocol for blockchain data, enabling HyperEVM developers to build and deploy Subgraphs—open APIs that index, transform, and serve on-chain data via GraphQL. Rather than building custom indexing infrastructure, HyperEVM protocol teams can define their data schema and indexing logic in a Subgraph manifest, and The Graph's decentralized network of Indexers handles the computation and data serving. This dramatically accelerates frontend development for Hyperliquid DeFi dApps that need historical and real-time on-chain data without running centralized backend infrastructure. Subgraph data is trustless and cryptographically verifiable, making it appropriate for decentralized applications that want to maintain censorship-resistance. The Graph's GRT token incentivizes high-quality, reliable data indexing, ensuring HyperEVM Subgraphs remain continuously available and accurate for users and developers building on Hyperliquid's smart contract ecosystem.

Ecosystem Integration
HyperLaunch
HyperLaunch operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
The Graph
The Graph operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
Both protocols share the same layer, maximizing composability potential.
