Overview

Pendle Finance logo

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.

RedStone

RedStone is a modular blockchain oracle network that has become the dominant oracle solution on Hyperliquid, operating under the HyperStone brand for the ecosystem. Oracles are critical infrastructure — they provide smart contracts with real-world price feeds, enabling DeFi lending, derivatives, and synthetic assets to function correctly. RedStone's architecture is uniquely well-suited to Hyperliquid's high-performance environment: rather than pushing price updates to the chain on every tick (a costly approach), RedStone uses a pull-based model where data is fetched on-demand and cryptographically verified on-chain, dramatically reducing costs while maintaining freshness and accuracy. Securing approximately 99.5% of oracle-protected value on Hyperliquid, HyperStone feeds power a wide range of DeFi protocols on HyperEVM — from lending markets to perpetual protocols and yield vaults. RedStone aggregates price data from dozens of sources, applying outlier filtering and cryptographic attestation to ensure data integrity. With support for hundreds of assets and sub-second update latency, HyperStone gives Hyperliquid's DeFi ecosystem enterprise-grade price feeds, enabling complex financial products to be built with confidence in the underlying data infrastructure.
