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.
Visit websiteSafe Wallet
Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) is the industry-standard multi-signature smart account protocol, deployed on HyperEVM for DAOs, protocols, and teams that require shared treasury management and governance security. Safe smart accounts require M-of-N approval from designated signers before executing transactions, preventing single points of failure in protocol treasury management. For Hyperliquid ecosystem protocols managing significant TVL, Safe provides battle-tested smart account infrastructure with support for spending policies, transaction batching, and module-based extensibility. Safe's ecosystem includes integrations with hardware wallets, mobile apps, and governance tools—enabling comprehensive secure operations for on-chain teams. With over 00B in assets secured historically and an extensive security audit record, Safe is the default choice for any Hyperliquid project that handles collective funds or needs robust multi-party governance over protocol upgrades and treasury operations.

Ecosystem Integration
Liminal
Liminal operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1). As a HyperEVM protocol, it can compose with other EVM-based DeFi primitives and leverage smart contract flexibility.
Safe Wallet
Safe Wallet operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
