Privy
Privy is an embedded wallet and authentication infrastructure provider that enables HyperEVM developers to offer seamless, non-custodial wallet creation to users via email, phone, or social accounts. Unlike traditional wallet connect flows that require users to have MetaMask installed, Privy provisions in-app wallets using secure key management—allowing users to interact with HyperEVM DeFi protocols without any prior crypto experience. Privy's React SDK integrates in minutes and handles all key storage, recovery, and session management, while developers retain full control over the user experience. For NFT platforms, trading terminals, and DeFi frontends on HyperEVM, Privy dramatically lowers the onboarding barrier and increases conversion rates. Its cross-app wallets feature allows users to carry their Privy wallet identity across multiple HyperEVM applications with a single sign-on, creating a cohesive multi-app experience within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Visit websiteHyperliquid Spot
Hyperliquid's native spot order book is the on-chain spot trading layer of the Hyperliquid L1, enabling permissionless listing and trading of tokens through the HIP-1 and HIP-2 token standards. Unlike AMM-based spot trading, Hyperliquid Spot uses a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) with 200k orders per second throughput, delivering CEX-equivalent matching engine performance for spot assets. HIP-1 provides the fungible token standard analogous to ERC-20, while HIP-2 governs hyperliquidity provision—requiring token deployers to seed initial order book liquidity. Tokens launched through this mechanism trade natively on Hyperliquid's CLOB alongside the perp markets, creating a unified liquidity environment. The native spot DEX has become the go-to venue for launching and trading Hyperliquid-native tokens like PURR, HYPE, and the growing list of HyperEVM-native project tokens, with billions in cumulative spot trading volume demonstrating strong adoption.
