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 websiteThe Graph
The Graph is the decentralized indexing protocol for blockchain data, enabling HyperEVM developers to build and deploy Subgraphs—open APIs that index, transform, and serve on-chain data via GraphQL. Rather than building custom indexing infrastructure, HyperEVM protocol teams can define their data schema and indexing logic in a Subgraph manifest, and The Graph's decentralized network of Indexers handles the computation and data serving. This dramatically accelerates frontend development for Hyperliquid DeFi dApps that need historical and real-time on-chain data without running centralized backend infrastructure. Subgraph data is trustless and cryptographically verifiable, making it appropriate for decentralized applications that want to maintain censorship-resistance. The Graph's GRT token incentivizes high-quality, reliable data indexing, ensuring HyperEVM Subgraphs remain continuously available and accurate for users and developers building on Hyperliquid's smart contract ecosystem.

Key Differences
Layer Architecture
Purrswap operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1), while The Graph 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 The Graph targets data apis. They serve different user needs within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
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 The Graph if you...

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