Overview

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.

Timeswap

Timeswap is a fully decentralized, oracle-free lending and borrowing protocol deployed on HyperEVM. It solves one of DeFi's most persistent structural problems: the fragility of oracle-dependent liquidation systems, which expose borrowers to cascading liquidations during volatile markets. Timeswap replaces this model with a novel three-variable AMM — balancing principal, interest, and collateral — that allows lenders and borrowers to set their own terms without relying on external price feeds. Borrowers deposit collateral and select a maturity date; if the loan is repaid before maturity, they reclaim their collateral in full. If not, the collateral transfers to lenders — creating a liquidation-free experience where the worst-case outcome is transparent and defined upfront. This design makes Timeswap uniquely well-suited for long-tail and volatile assets that oracle-dependent protocols cannot safely list. On HyperEVM, Timeswap gains access to Hyperliquid's deep liquidity, active trader community, and expanding DeFi ecosystem, enabling it to serve assets native to the chain. For yield seekers, it offers fixed-rate lending with clearly defined risk parameters; for borrowers, it removes the anxiety of unexpected liquidation.
