Pendle Finance
Pendle Finance is a yield-trading protocol that tokenizes future yield, allowing users to trade, hedge, and speculate on yield movements. By wrapping yield-bearing assets into Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT), Pendle enables fixed-rate borrowing through PT purchases and leveraged yield exposure through YT. As HyperEVM generates its own yield-bearing primitives—from liquid staking (stHYPE, LHYPE) to lending receipts—Pendle creates a yield marketplace where Hyperliquid users can lock in fixed returns or maximize yield exposure. Pendle's specialized AMM is calibrated for yield curves, minimizing impermanent loss for LPs while offering attractive fee income. The protocol has amassed billions in TVL on Ethereum and Arbitrum, and its expansion to HyperEVM brings sophisticated fixed-income tools to the Hyperliquid DeFi stack. For yield-seeking Hyperliquid participants, Pendle offers the ability to convert uncertain variable yields into predictable fixed returns.

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.
