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.
Visit websiteThetanuts 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.
