Overview

Thetanuts Finance

Thetanuts Finance is a decentralized structured products platform offering options vaults that allow DeFi users to earn yield through covered calls and cash-secured puts. Unlike complex options protocols requiring active management, Thetanuts automates option-writing strategies via weekly vault cycles—depositors simply supply assets and earn premiums from writing options against their holdings. On HyperEVM, Thetanuts brings institutional-grade options strategies to retail Hyperliquid users, letting HYPE and stablecoin holders earn enhanced yield on otherwise idle assets. Its Basic Vaults cover major crypto assets while Strong Vaults offer higher yields for more volatile positions. Thetanuts uses Hyperliquid's deep perpetuals liquidity as the hedge layer for its options vaults, creating a unique integration between structured products and the underlying Hyperliquid derivatives market. As the Hyperliquid ecosystem matures toward a full financial stack, Thetanuts fills a critical gap in the options and structured products layer.

LiquidSwap

LiquidSwap, built by Liquid Labs, is a DEX aggregator on the Hyperliquid ecosystem that routes swaps across both HyperEVM decentralized exchanges and HyperCore's native order-book liquidity to guarantee users the best available price for every trade. Most DeFi aggregators operate within a single execution layer, but LiquidSwap's cross-layer architecture bridges the gap between HyperEVM's AMM-based DEXs and HyperCore's high-performance central limit order book — giving traders unified, one-click access to the deepest combined liquidity pool in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Smart routing logic splits and sizes orders across multiple venues when beneficial, reducing price impact on larger trades and consistently capturing better execution than any single DEX could provide. Liquid Labs designed LiquidSwap to serve as the default swap infrastructure layer for HyperEVM users, abstracting away the complexity of choosing between trading venues, managing slippage, and navigating the boundary between execution environments. The result is a seamless, low-friction trading experience that competes on both price and speed — well-suited to a chain where ultra-low latency and high throughput are first-class features of the underlying architecture.
