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.

Valantis

Valantis is a modular decentralized exchange protocol deployed on HyperEVM, designed to give liquidity providers and protocol developers unprecedented flexibility in how AMMs are constructed and customized. At its core is STEX — a next-generation AMM architecture purpose-built for liquid staking token pools, solving the persistent problem of capital inefficiency and high slippage that plagues standard AMMs when handling correlated or yield-bearing assets. Valantis separates exchange logic into composable modules: sovereign pools, HOT (Hybrid Order Type) AMMs, and pluggable liquidity management strategies — allowing developers to integrate custom pricing curves, fee tiers, and rebalancing logic without forking the entire protocol stack. For liquidity providers, this means substantially better capital efficiency and reduced impermanent loss on correlated pairs. For protocols building on HyperEVM, it means a flexible DEX infrastructure layer that can be tailored to specific tokenomics and use cases. Valantis fits naturally into the Hyperliquid ecosystem by providing foundational trading infrastructure that DeFi primitives — lending markets, derivatives vaults, and yield protocols — depend on for deep, efficient, and programmable liquidity.
