Looped HYPE
Looped HYPE is a recursive liquid staking protocol on HyperEVM that amplifies staking yield on HYPE tokens through automated leverage loops. Instead of earning simple base staking returns, users deposit HYPE or liquid-staked HYPE derivatives (such as kHYPE or stHYPE), which the protocol loops through a borrow-deposit cycle: staked assets serve as collateral to borrow more HYPE, which is restaked — repeating the cycle multiple times to compound exposure. This recursive strategy enables effective yield exposure of 3x to 15x the base staking APR, without requiring users to manually manage individual loan positions, monitor collateral ratios, or handle rebalancing themselves. Looped HYPE handles health monitoring, automatic rebalancing, and reward compounding entirely on-chain, abstracting the complexity of leveraged staking into a single deposit experience. The protocol integrates natively with Hyperliquid's liquid staking ecosystem and HyperEVM's lending infrastructure, making it composable with the broader DeFi stack. Looped HYPE is designed for yield-maximizing HYPE holders who want meaningful capital efficiency and amplified staking returns without giving up the underlying security of Hyperliquid's proof-of-stake layer.

Gamma Strategies is an active liquidity management protocol for concentrated liquidity AMMs, automating the complex position management required by Uniswap v3-style pools. By continuously rebalancing LP positions within optimal price ranges, Gamma maximizes fee revenue while minimizing impermanent loss compared to passive LPing. On HyperEVM, where new AMMs with concentrated liquidity mechanics are launching, Gamma provides vault-based LP management that removes the technical burden from retail liquidity providers. Users simply deposit token pairs into Gamma vaults and receive automatically managed LP positions. With support for both symmetric and asymmetric liquidity strategies, Gamma is the go-to solution for sophisticated LP management on HyperEVM DEXes. Its passive income model makes DeFi liquidity provision accessible to users who want exposure to trading fee yields without the constant active management that concentrated liquidity pools require.

Key Differences
Layer Architecture
Looped HYPE operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1), while Gamma Strategies runs on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). This affects composability, transaction speed, and the types of integrations each protocol supports.
When to Use Each
Choose Looped HYPE if you...
- ✓Want a yield & vaults solution on HyperEVM
- ✓Need features like leveraged-staking and yield
- ✓Need: Recursive liquid staking — 3x to 15x looped yield on HYPE
Choose Gamma Strategies if you...

Ecosystem Integration
Looped HYPE
Looped HYPE 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.
Gamma Strategies
Gamma Strategies operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
