Tempest Finance
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.
Visit websiteHyperliquid Spot
Hyperliquid's native spot order book is the on-chain spot trading layer of the Hyperliquid L1, enabling permissionless listing and trading of tokens through the HIP-1 and HIP-2 token standards. Unlike AMM-based spot trading, Hyperliquid Spot uses a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB) with 200k orders per second throughput, delivering CEX-equivalent matching engine performance for spot assets. HIP-1 provides the fungible token standard analogous to ERC-20, while HIP-2 governs hyperliquidity provision—requiring token deployers to seed initial order book liquidity. Tokens launched through this mechanism trade natively on Hyperliquid's CLOB alongside the perp markets, creating a unified liquidity environment. The native spot DEX has become the go-to venue for launching and trading Hyperliquid-native tokens like PURR, HYPE, and the growing list of HyperEVM-native project tokens, with billions in cumulative spot trading volume demonstrating strong adoption.
