Best for Swaps
Cross-Layer Alternatives

Quick Take

Purrswap First stableswap on HyperEVM — powered by Abracadabra's MIMswap on HyperEVM, while Thetanuts Finance Structured options vaults for yield generation on Hyperliquid assets on Multi-Layer. Both compete in the decentralized exchanges space but operate on different layers, which affects their capabilities and composability.

Based on public data for Purrswap and Thetanuts Finance. Key differentiators: layer deployment, fee structure, liquidity depth, and community adoption. Last reviewed: Mar 2026.

Overview

Purrswap logo

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.

Thetanuts Finance

Thetanuts Finance is a decentralized structured products platform offering options vaults that allow DeFi users to earn yield through covered calls and cash-secured puts. Unlike complex options protocols requiring active management, Thetanuts automates option-writing strategies via weekly vault cycles—depositors simply supply assets and earn premiums from writing options against their holdings. On HyperEVM, Thetanuts brings institutional-grade options strategies to retail Hyperliquid users, letting HYPE and stablecoin holders earn enhanced yield on otherwise idle assets. Its Basic Vaults cover major crypto assets while Strong Vaults offer higher yields for more volatile positions. Thetanuts uses Hyperliquid's deep perpetuals liquidity as the hedge layer for its options vaults, creating a unique integration between structured products and the underlying Hyperliquid derivatives market. As the Hyperliquid ecosystem matures toward a full financial stack, Thetanuts fills a critical gap in the options and structured products layer.
