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.

HypurrScan is the dedicated block explorer and analytics platform for Hyperliquid's Layer 1 blockchain, offering comprehensive visibility into the network's on-chain activity. Analogous to Etherscan for Ethereum, HypurrScan is purpose-built for Hyperliquid's unique architecture — a high-performance consensus layer that powers fully on-chain perpetual futures and spot order books with sub-second finality. The explorer provides real-time and historical tracking of transactions, wallet addresses, token balances, TWAP (time-weighted average price) executions, and HIP-1 token auction prices. Users can drill into individual accounts to view their full trading history, open positions, and asset holdings across both spot and perpetuals markets. HypurrScan also surfaces network-level statistics including validator activity, block production data, and ecosystem metrics essential for researchers, traders, and developers building on Hyperliquid L1. As the Hyperliquid ecosystem has scaled — with billions in daily trading volume and hundreds of perpetual markets — HypurrScan has become an indispensable transparency tool. Its dashboard aggregates the most critical L1 data into a single interface optimized for both casual users and power analysts navigating the HYPE ecosystem.
