Overview
Safe Wallet
Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) is the industry-standard multi-signature smart account protocol, deployed on HyperEVM for DAOs, protocols, and teams that require shared treasury management and governance security. Safe smart accounts require M-of-N approval from designated signers before executing transactions, preventing single points of failure in protocol treasury management. For Hyperliquid ecosystem protocols managing significant TVL, Safe provides battle-tested smart account infrastructure with support for spending policies, transaction batching, and module-based extensibility. Safe's ecosystem includes integrations with hardware wallets, mobile apps, and governance tools—enabling comprehensive secure operations for on-chain teams. With over 00B in assets secured historically and an extensive security audit record, Safe is the default choice for any Hyperliquid project that handles collective funds or needs robust multi-party governance over protocol upgrades and treasury operations.
Visit websiteTrade.xyz (HyperUnit)
Trade.xyz, developed by HyperUnit, made history as the first protocol to acquire a HIP-3 ticker on Hyperliquid, securing the XYZ100 listing. The platform enables 24/7 trading of tokenized US stocks and ETFs — assets that traditional markets restrict to weekday trading hours. By bringing equities like Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and major ETFs on-chain, Trade.xyz solves a fundamental problem: global investors, particularly those outside the US, face geographic restrictions and time-zone barriers when accessing US stock markets. On Hyperliquid's high-throughput order book, tokenized equities benefit from near-instant settlement, deep liquidity, and the same seamless trading experience as crypto perpetuals. The XYZ100 ticker functions as an index exposure product, giving users diversified equity exposure in a single position. Tokenization is handled in a trust-minimized manner, ensuring price fidelity with underlying assets. Trade.xyz represents the convergence of TradFi and DeFi — crypto-native infrastructure meeting traditional asset classes — and is a flagship demonstration of what Hyperliquid's HIP-3 standard enables for real-world asset trading at any hour of the day, seven days a week.
