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.
Visit websiteLiquidSwap
LiquidSwap, built by Liquid Labs, is a DEX aggregator on the Hyperliquid ecosystem that routes swaps across both HyperEVM decentralized exchanges and HyperCore's native order-book liquidity to guarantee users the best available price for every trade. Most DeFi aggregators operate within a single execution layer, but LiquidSwap's cross-layer architecture bridges the gap between HyperEVM's AMM-based DEXs and HyperCore's high-performance central limit order book — giving traders unified, one-click access to the deepest combined liquidity pool in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Smart routing logic splits and sizes orders across multiple venues when beneficial, reducing price impact on larger trades and consistently capturing better execution than any single DEX could provide. Liquid Labs designed LiquidSwap to serve as the default swap infrastructure layer for HyperEVM users, abstracting away the complexity of choosing between trading venues, managing slippage, and navigating the boundary between execution environments. The result is a seamless, low-friction trading experience that competes on both price and speed — well-suited to a chain where ultra-low latency and high throughput are first-class features of the underlying architecture.

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