Overview

RedStone

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.

Gauntlet

Gauntlet is a financial risk management and protocol optimization platform that uses agent-based market simulations to stress-test DeFi protocols and optimize their economic parameters. As protocols in the Hyperliquid ecosystem scale their TVL in lending markets and liquidity vaults, Gauntlet's simulation engine models adversarial behaviors, market crashes, and oracle manipulation scenarios to identify parameter configurations that maximize capital efficiency while minimizing insolvency risk. Gauntlet provides ongoing risk management services—continuously updating protocol parameters like liquidation bonuses, borrow caps, and collateral ratios in response to changing market conditions. With a track record managing billions in risk across Aave, Compound, and other top DeFi protocols, Gauntlet brings institutional-grade risk science to the growing Hyperliquid DeFi ecosystem. Protocols that engage Gauntlet signal commitment to sustainable, risk-managed growth rather than aggressive TVL maximization at the expense of security.

Ecosystem Integration

RedStone logo

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.

Gauntlet

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

Both protocols share the same layer, maximizing composability potential.
