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.

LiquidSwap, built by Liquid Labs, is a DEX aggregator on the Hyperliquid ecosystem that routes swaps across both HyperEVM decentralized exchanges and HyperCore's native order-book liquidity to guarantee users the best available price for every trade. Most DeFi aggregators operate within a single execution layer, but LiquidSwap's cross-layer architecture bridges the gap between HyperEVM's AMM-based DEXs and HyperCore's high-performance central limit order book — giving traders unified, one-click access to the deepest combined liquidity pool in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Smart routing logic splits and sizes orders across multiple venues when beneficial, reducing price impact on larger trades and consistently capturing better execution than any single DEX could provide. Liquid Labs designed LiquidSwap to serve as the default swap infrastructure layer for HyperEVM users, abstracting away the complexity of choosing between trading venues, managing slippage, and navigating the boundary between execution environments. The result is a seamless, low-friction trading experience that competes on both price and speed — well-suited to a chain where ultra-low latency and high throughput are first-class features of the underlying architecture.

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.
LiquidSwap
LiquidSwap operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
