Overview

Liminal logo

Liminal

Liminal is a DeFi yield protocol built on Hyperliquid that converts perpetual futures funding rates into structured, market-neutral on-chain yield. Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book consistently generates some of the most competitive and persistent funding rates in crypto — Liminal harvests this yield and delivers it to depositors without requiring them to take any directional market risk. Users deposit capital which the protocol deploys into delta-neutral funding rate strategies: simultaneously holding spot positions with corresponding perpetual shorts (or vice versa), capturing funding payments while remaining price-agnostic throughout market cycles. This approach generates real, sustainable yield that is genuinely market-neutral — not dependent on inflationary token emissions or external subsidies. Liminal is purpose-built for Hyperliquid, leveraging the chain's native perpetuals infrastructure, ultra-low latency execution, and deep liquidity to maximize funding capture efficiency. The result is a compelling yield product for stablecoin holders, institutions, and risk-averse DeFi participants who want exposure to Hyperliquid's trading ecosystem without taking on price volatility.

Purrswap

Purrswap is a native DEX on HyperEVM, incubated by Abracadabra DAO and built on a licensed implementation of MIMswap's Proactive Market Maker (PMM) algorithm. Unlike traditional constant-product AMMs, PMM actively adjusts its price curve based on external reference prices, concentrating liquidity near the current market price and dramatically reducing slippage for both stablecoin and volatile-asset trading pairs. Purrswap inherits Abracadabra DAO's deep DeFi expertise — the team behind the MIM stablecoin and the original MIMswap protocol on Ethereum — bringing battle-tested, audited smart contract architecture to the Hyperliquid ecosystem. By deploying natively on HyperEVM, Purrswap benefits from Hyperliquid's high-throughput EVM execution environment, low transaction fees, and tight integration with the broader Hyperliquid DeFi stack including HyperCore's perpetual order book. The PMM model makes Purrswap particularly capital-efficient for stablecoin swaps and correlated-asset pairs where tight spreads and minimal impermanent loss are critical for LPs. As a community-aligned project incubated by one of DeFi's most recognized DAOs, Purrswap represents a meaningful bridge between the established Abracadabra ecosystem and Hyperliquid's rapidly growing on-chain economy.
