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.

Tempest Finance is a yield vault protocol native to the HyperEVM ecosystem, offering automated strategies for Hyperliquid users to earn passive income on their assets. Tempest deploys capital into optimized DeFi strategies spanning liquidity provision, lending, and perps trading—all within the Hyperliquid network. Its vaults abstract away the complexity of multi-protocol yield farming, allowing users to access diversified yield with a single deposit. Tempest's strategy engine dynamically allocates capital based on current yields, gas costs, and risk-adjusted returns, continuously rebalancing to maintain optimal performance. With a focus on native HyperEVM integrations and composability with Hyperliquid's spot and perp markets, Tempest is emerging as a core yield layer for HYPE holders and Hyperliquid DeFi participants who want to put their assets to work without active management or deep technical knowledge of multi-protocol interactions.
