Mizu
Mizu Labs is an automated yield aggregator protocol deployed on HyperEVM, Hyperliquid's EVM-compatible smart contract layer. Designed for ETH and BTC holders seeking to maximize returns within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, Mizu issues liquid wrapper tokens — hypeETH and hypeBTC — representing bridged assets that are continuously deployed across the highest-yielding HyperEVM protocols. Under the hood, Mizu automates liquidity routing into established platforms including HyperLend, HypurrFi, Felix, and Harmonix, compounding rewards and rebalancing positions without requiring manual intervention from depositors. This set-and-forget approach makes Mizu ideal for users who want exposure to HyperEVM's rich DeFi landscape — spanning lending markets, stablecoin minting, and structured yield products — without the overhead of active position management. By aggregating liquidity from many depositors, Mizu accesses yield opportunities at scale that would be inefficient for individual wallets. The protocol participates in points programs across its integrated protocols, passing accumulated rewards back to hypeETH and hypeBTC holders. As HyperEVM matures as a composable DeFi layer beneath Hyperliquid's core trading infrastructure, Mizu Labs positions itself as the primary yield optimization engine for bridged capital seeking productive, automated deployment.

Growi HF is a quantitative asset management protocol built natively on Hyperliquid, offering permissionless strategy vaults powered by systematic, risk-adjusted trading algorithms. Designed for both passive investors and active DeFi participants, Growi HF eliminates the complexity of running sophisticated trading algorithms by packaging institutional-grade quant strategies into accessible on-chain vaults. Each vault employs distinct quantitative methodologies — from market-neutral delta strategies to momentum and mean-reversion approaches — all optimized for Hyperliquid's high-performance order book and deep liquidity. Traders benefit from transparent, fully on-chain execution with no hidden fees or centralized custody risks. By deploying directly on Hyperliquid's HyperCore, Growi HF's vaults access ultra-low latency trading infrastructure and some of the tightest spreads in decentralized perpetuals markets. Depositors earn yield proportional to vault performance, while the protocol automatically manages risk parameters including position sizing, drawdown limits, and rebalancing. Growi HF bridges institutional quantitative hedge fund methodology with the open, permissionless architecture of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
