Overview

Timeswap logo

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.

Valantis

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.
