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 websiteRedStone
RedStone is a modular blockchain oracle network that has become the dominant oracle solution on Hyperliquid, operating under the HyperStone brand for the ecosystem. Oracles are critical infrastructure — they provide smart contracts with real-world price feeds, enabling DeFi lending, derivatives, and synthetic assets to function correctly. RedStone's architecture is uniquely well-suited to Hyperliquid's high-performance environment: rather than pushing price updates to the chain on every tick (a costly approach), RedStone uses a pull-based model where data is fetched on-demand and cryptographically verified on-chain, dramatically reducing costs while maintaining freshness and accuracy. Securing approximately 99.5% of oracle-protected value on Hyperliquid, HyperStone feeds power a wide range of DeFi protocols on HyperEVM — from lending markets to perpetual protocols and yield vaults. RedStone aggregates price data from dozens of sources, applying outlier filtering and cryptographic attestation to ensure data integrity. With support for hundreds of assets and sub-second update latency, HyperStone gives Hyperliquid's DeFi ecosystem enterprise-grade price feeds, enabling complex financial products to be built with confidence in the underlying data infrastructure.

Key Differences
Layer Architecture
Purrswap operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1), while RedStone runs on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). This affects composability, transaction speed, and the types of integrations each protocol supports.
Category Focus
Purrswap is focused on decentralized exchanges, while RedStone targets oracles. They serve different user needs within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Unique Features
Purrswap is distinguished by: stableswap, Abracadabra, MIMswap. RedStone stands out with: oracle, HyperStone, price-feeds, HIP-3.
Market Timing
RedStone launched first in 2022, giving it a head start. Purrswap entered later in 2025, potentially with the benefit of learning from earlier entrants.
When to Use Each
Choose Purrswap if you...
- ✓Want a decentralized exchanges solution on HyperEVM
- ✓Need features like stableswap and Abracadabra
- ✓Need: First stableswap on HyperEVM — powered by Abracadabra's MIMswap
Choose RedStone if you...
- ✓Want a oracles solution on Multi-Layer

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