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.
Visit websiteTrade.xyz (HyperUnit)
Trade.xyz, developed by HyperUnit, made history as the first protocol to acquire a HIP-3 ticker on Hyperliquid, securing the XYZ100 listing. The platform enables 24/7 trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs — assets that traditional markets restrict to weekday trading hours. By bringing equities like Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and major ETFs on-chain, Trade.xyz solves a fundamental problem: global investors, particularly those outside the US, face geographic restrictions and time-zone barriers when accessing US stock markets. On Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book, tokenized equities benefit from near-instant settlement, deep liquidity, and the same seamless trading experience as crypto perpetuals. The XYZ100 ticker functions as an index exposure product, giving users diversified equity exposure in a single position. Tokenization is handled in a trust-minimized manner, ensuring price fidelity with underlying assets. Trade.xyz represents the convergence of TradFi and DeFi — crypto-native infrastructure meeting traditional asset classes — and is a flagship demonstration of what Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard enables for real-world asset trading at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
