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.
Visit websitePurrswap
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.

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.
Purrswap
Purrswap 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.
Both protocols share the same layer, maximizing composability potential.
