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 websiteSolv Protocol
Solv Protocol is a decentralized yield layer for Bitcoin, offering SolvBTC, a yield-bearing BTC wrapper that generates returns from institutional-grade Bitcoin strategies including options selling, delta-neutral lending, and algorithmic market-making. By wrapping BTC into SolvBTC, holders earn Bitcoin-denominated yield without selling their BTC exposure, enabling idle Bitcoin to work productively within DeFi ecosystems including HyperEVM. The protocol was founded in 2020 and has grown to become one of the largest Bitcoin yield infrastructure providers in DeFi, with billions in assets under management deployed across Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Mantle, and other EVM-compatible chains. SolvBTC maintains a 1:1 BTC peg backed by on-chain reserves and institutional custodians, with Merkle proofs and audited smart contracts ensuring full transparency of underlying holdings. Solv yield strategies are powered by its Bitcoin Reserve ecosystem, which aggregates BTC collateral into a diversified set of revenue-generating strategies. These include options vaults selling covered calls and cash-secured puts on BTC, lending pools where BTC is deployed to institutional borrowers, and liquidity provision to market makers on centralized and decentralized venues. The result is a competitive annualized yield paid out in BTC, typically ranging from 5-15% APY depending on market conditions. For the Hyperliquid ecosystem, SolvBTC provides a critical piece of infrastructure enabling BTC holders to bring capital into HyperEVM DeFi without sacrificing Bitcoin exposure. As HyperEVM lending protocols, yield vaults, and trading infrastructure mature, SolvBTC serves as a productive yield-bearing BTC collateral asset deployable across Hyperliquid-native DeFi strategies. SolvBTC.BBN extends the yield stack further by incorporating Bitcoin staking through the Babylon protocol, adding additional yield from Bitcoin emerging role in the broader crypto ecosystem. Solv targets both retail BTC holders seeking passive yield without TradFi intermediaries, and institutional participants looking for on-chain, transparent BTC yield solutions with auditable strategies and non-custodial asset management.
