Purrswap
Purrswap is a native DEX on HyperEVM, incubated by Abracadabra DAO and built on a licensed implementation of MIMswap's Proactive Market Maker (PMM) algorithm. Unlike traditional constant-product AMMs, PMM actively adjusts its price curve based on external reference prices, concentrating liquidity near the current market price and dramatically reducing slippage for both stablecoin and volatile-asset trading pairs. Purrswap inherits Abracadabra DAO's deep DeFi expertise — the team behind the MIM stablecoin and the original MIMswap protocol on Ethereum — bringing battle-tested, audited smart contract architecture to the Hyperliquid ecosystem. By deploying natively on HyperEVM, Purrswap benefits from Hyperliquid's high-throughput EVM execution environment, low transaction fees, and tight integration with the broader Hyperliquid DeFi stack including HyperCore's perpetual order book. The PMM model makes Purrswap particularly capital-efficient for stablecoin swaps and correlated-asset pairs where tight spreads and minimal impermanent loss are critical for LPs. As a community-aligned project incubated by one of DeFi's most recognized DAOs, Purrswap represents a meaningful bridge between the established Abracadabra ecosystem and Hyperliquid's rapidly growing on-chain economy.
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.

Ecosystem Integration
Purrswap
Purrswap operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1). As a HyperEVM protocol, it can compose with other EVM-based DeFi primitives and leverage smart contract flexibility.
Hyperliquid Spot
Hyperliquid Spot operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
