Overview

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.

Trade.xyz (HyperUnit)

Trade.xyz, developed by HyperUnit, made history as the first protocol to acquire a HIP-3 ticker on Hyperliquid, securing the XYZ100 listing. The platform enables 24/7 trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs — assets that traditional markets restrict to weekday trading hours. By bringing equities like Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and major ETFs on-chain, Trade.xyz solves a fundamental problem: global investors, particularly those outside the US, face geographic restrictions and time-zone barriers when accessing US stock markets. On Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book, tokenized equities benefit from near-instant settlement, deep liquidity, and the same seamless trading experience as crypto perpetuals. The XYZ100 ticker functions as an index exposure product, giving users diversified equity exposure in a single position. Tokenization is handled in a trust-minimized manner, ensuring price fidelity with underlying assets. Trade.xyz represents the convergence of TradFi and DeFi — crypto-native infrastructure meeting traditional asset classes — and is a flagship demonstration of what Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard enables for real-world asset trading at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
