Overview

Rage Trade logo

Rage Trade

Rage Trade is a multi-chain perpetual aggregator that transforms on-chain derivatives trading by intelligently routing orders across leading protocols including GMX, Synthetix, dYdX, Aevo, and Hyperliquid. Rather than locking traders into a single venue's liquidity and pricing, Rage Trade acts as a smart order router — comparing prices, funding rates, and available incentives in real-time to surface the optimal execution path for every trade. The protocol combines the familiar convenience of centralized exchange interfaces with the transparency and self-custody guarantees of decentralized platforms. Traders no longer need to manually monitor multiple protocols or manage accounts across different chains — Rage Trade unifies the fragmented perpetuals landscape into one seamless experience. Hyperliquid's inclusion as a core routing destination brings unmatched execution speed and capital efficiency to the aggregator. With its native token and growing DeFi integrations, Rage Trade serves both active traders seeking best execution and yield-oriented users looking to capitalize on funding rate differentials and protocol incentives across the multi-chain perpetuals market.

Ambient Finance

Ambient Finance (formerly CrocSwap) is a zero-to-low fee AMM DEX built as a single, unified smart contract that supports both traditional constant-product and concentrated liquidity trading. Its unique architecture combines all liquidity pools into one mega-pool contract, dramatically reducing gas costs and enabling more efficient cross-pool arbitrage. Ambient's design is optimized for HyperEVM's high-throughput environment, where gas efficiency and low-latency execution are paramount. Supporting both ambient (passive, full-range) and range (concentrated, active) liquidity positions, Ambient gives LPs flexibility without the complexity of managing Uniswap v3 positions. Its integrated knockout liquidity—essentially on-chain limit orders—bridges the gap between AMM and order-book trading, making Ambient a compelling DEX infrastructure for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The single-contract design minimizes composability risk while maximizing capital efficiency across all trading pairs.
