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 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
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.
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.
