Thunderhead
Thunderhead is a liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid that issues LHYPE—a liquid representation of staked HYPE tokens. By staking HYPE through Thunderhead, users receive LHYPE tokens that automatically accrue staking rewards while remaining liquid and usable across HyperEVM DeFi. LHYPE can be used as collateral in lending protocols, deployed into yield strategies, or traded on HyperEVM DEXes without sacrificing staking income. Thunderhead's non-custodial architecture delegates stake across a curated set of Hyperliquid validators, diversifying slashing risk while maximizing validator rewards. As one of the early liquid staking solutions for HYPE, Thunderhead complements existing solutions like Kinetiq and StakedHYPE, contributing to a liquid, capital-efficient staking ecosystem on Hyperliquid. The protocol's governance model allows LHYPE holders to participate in validator selection, ensuring decentralized, community-aligned staking.

Gamma Strategies is an active liquidity management protocol for concentrated liquidity AMMs, automating the complex position management required by Uniswap v3-style pools. By continuously rebalancing LP positions within optimal price ranges, Gamma maximizes fee revenue while minimizing impermanent loss compared to passive LPing. On HyperEVM, where new AMMs with concentrated liquidity mechanics are launching, Gamma provides vault-based LP management that removes the technical burden from retail liquidity providers. Users simply deposit token pairs into Gamma vaults and receive automatically managed LP positions. With support for both symmetric and asymmetric liquidity strategies, Gamma is the go-to solution for sophisticated LP management on HyperEVM DEXes. Its passive income model makes DeFi liquidity provision accessible to users who want exposure to trading fee yields without the constant active management that concentrated liquidity pools require.
