Stork Network
Stork is a low-latency, first-party oracle network purpose-built for high-performance DeFi applications like Hyperliquid. Unlike traditional oracle solutions, Stork delivers signed price updates directly to end-users, enabling on-demand data consumption without sacrificing freshness. Designed for derivatives and perpetuals markets where sub-millisecond price accuracy is critical, Stork has become a key infrastructure layer for HyperEVM protocols. Its publisher-agnostic design allows projects to integrate multiple data sources under a unified interface, and its architecture supports hundreds of asset feeds with cryptographic attestation. Stork's emphasis on ultra-low latency makes it ideal for Hyperliquid's high-throughput matching engine, where stale oracle prices can create exploitable arbitrage or unfair liquidations. Projects building options, structured products, or complex derivatives on HyperEVM rely on Stork for the price freshness that underpins safe, capital-efficient protocols.
Visit websiteValantis
Valantis is a modular decentralized exchange protocol deployed on HyperEVM, designed to give liquidity providers and protocol developers unprecedented flexibility in how AMMs are constructed and customized. At its core is STEX — a next-generation AMM architecture purpose-built for liquid staking token pools, solving the persistent problem of capital inefficiency and high slippage that plagues standard AMMs when handling correlated or yield-bearing assets. Valantis separates exchange logic into composable modules: sovereign pools, HOT (Hybrid Order Type) AMMs, and pluggable liquidity management strategies — allowing developers to integrate custom pricing curves, fee tiers, and rebalancing logic without forking the entire protocol stack. For liquidity providers, this means substantially better capital efficiency and reduced impermanent loss on correlated pairs. For protocols building on HyperEVM, it means a flexible DEX infrastructure layer that can be tailored to specific tokenomics and use cases. Valantis fits naturally into the Hyperliquid ecosystem by providing foundational trading infrastructure that DeFi primitives — lending markets, derivatives vaults, and yield protocols — depend on for deep, efficient, and programmable liquidity.

Ecosystem Integration
Stork Network
Stork Network operates on Multi-Layer (spans multiple hyperliquid layers). Spanning multiple layers lets it combine the strengths of each, though integration complexity is higher.
Valantis
Valantis operates on HyperEVM (evm smart contracts on hyperliquid l1). As a HyperEVM protocol, it can compose with other EVM-based DeFi primitives and leverage smart contract flexibility.
