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 websiteThe Graph
The Graph is the decentralized indexing protocol for blockchain data, enabling HyperEVM developers to build and deploy Subgraphs—open APIs that index, transform, and serve on-chain data via GraphQL. Rather than building custom indexing infrastructure, HyperEVM protocol teams can define their data schema and indexing logic in a Subgraph manifest, and The Graph's decentralized network of Indexers handles the computation and data serving. This dramatically accelerates frontend development for Hyperliquid DeFi dApps that need historical and real-time on-chain data without running centralized backend infrastructure. Subgraph data is trustless and cryptographically verifiable, making it appropriate for decentralized applications that want to maintain censorship-resistance. The Graph's GRT token incentivizes high-quality, reliable data indexing, ensuring HyperEVM Subgraphs remain continuously available and accurate for users and developers building on Hyperliquid's smart contract ecosystem.

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