Overview

Timeswap

Timeswap is a fully decentralized, oracle-free lending and borrowing protocol deployed on HyperEVM. It solves one of DeFi's most persistent structural problems: the fragility of oracle-dependent liquidation systems, which expose borrowers to cascading liquidations during volatile markets. Timeswap replaces this model with a novel three-variable AMM — balancing principal, interest, and collateral — that allows lenders and borrowers to set their own terms without relying on external price feeds. Borrowers deposit collateral and select a maturity date; if the loan is repaid before maturity, they reclaim their collateral in full. If not, the collateral transfers to lenders — creating a liquidation-free experience where the worst-case outcome is transparent and defined upfront. This design makes Timeswap uniquely well-suited for long-tail and volatile assets that oracle-dependent protocols cannot safely list. On HyperEVM, Timeswap gains access to Hyperliquid's deep liquidity, active trader community, and expanding DeFi ecosystem, enabling it to serve assets native to the chain. For yield seekers, it offers fixed-rate lending with clearly defined risk parameters; for borrowers, it removes the anxiety of unexpected liquidation.

Sentiment

Sentiment is a next-generation DeFi lending protocol on HyperEVM, designed to give borrowers greater capital flexibility through isolated lending pools and an account-based credit architecture. Traditional lending protocols force users into rigid, overcollateralized positions with global risk parameters that constrain innovation and limit asset diversity. Sentiment breaks this mold by introducing isolated risk environments where each pool operates independently, containing risk exposure without preventing new markets from forming. Borrowers access credit across multiple asset types through a unified account abstraction layer, enabling sophisticated DeFi strategies like leveraged yield farming and cross-protocol composability. Lenders earn yield by supplying assets to pools that match their individual risk appetite. The isolated pool design means new assets can be listed and deprecated without systemic contagion — making Sentiment far more adaptive than monolithic lending markets. On HyperEVM, Sentiment benefits from Hyperliquid's high throughput and low transaction costs, enabling frequent position management that would be prohibitively expensive on mainnet Ethereum. As HyperEVM's DeFi ecosystem expands, Sentiment provides the critical credit infrastructure that traders and protocols depend on for efficient, flexible capital deployment.
