Silo Finance
Silo Finance is an isolated lending market protocol where each asset gets its own lending silo, ensuring that a compromise in one market cannot cascade to others. By pairing each asset with a bridge asset (ETH or stablecoins), Silo achieves risk isolation while maintaining capital efficiency for borrowers. This architecture is particularly valuable on HyperEVM where newer Hyperliquid spot tokens carry varying risk profiles. Silo v2 introduces permissionless market creation with configurable interest rate models and liquidation mechanisms, enabling any project to deploy a lending market for their token on Hyperliquid. The protocol's battle-tested security model and isolation-first design make it attractive for long-tail asset markets that larger monolithic protocols cannot safely support. Silo's architecture allows the Hyperliquid ecosystem to support lending for any HIP-1 token without threatening the security of other markets.

go-hyperliquid is a community-developed Golang SDK for the Hyperliquid API, providing idiomatic Go bindings for trading, market data, and account management on Hyperliquid. Built with Go's concurrency model in mind, the SDK leverages goroutines and channels for efficient WebSocket streaming and concurrent order management—making it well-suited for high-throughput trading systems written in Go. The library covers the full Hyperliquid API including REST endpoints for order placement, account queries, and historical data, as well as WebSocket subscriptions for real-time order book updates and trade feeds. With typed request and response structures, comprehensive error handling, and context-aware API calls, go-hyperliquid provides the idiomatic Go developer experience that the Hyperliquid ecosystem previously lacked, enabling the large Go trading infrastructure community to build on Hyperliquid. The SDK has active contributors and is maintained alongside the official Python and Rust SDKs.

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