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 websiteSilo Finance
Silo Finance is an isolated lending market protocol where each asset gets its own lending silo, ensuring that a compromise in one market cannot cascade to others. By pairing each asset with a bridge asset (ETH or stablecoins), Silo achieves risk isolation while maintaining capital efficiency for borrowers. This architecture is particularly valuable on HyperEVM where newer Hyperliquid spot tokens carry varying risk profiles. Silo v2 introduces permissionless market creation with configurable interest rate models and liquidation mechanisms, enabling any project to deploy a lending market for their token on Hyperliquid. The protocol's battle-tested security model and isolation-first design make it attractive for long-tail asset markets that larger monolithic protocols cannot safely support. Silo's architecture allows the Hyperliquid ecosystem to support lending for any HIP-1 token without threatening the security of other markets.
