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.
Visit websiteHypurrScan
HypurrScan is the dedicated block explorer and analytics platform for Hyperliquid's Layer 1 blockchain, offering comprehensive visibility into the network's on-chain activity. Analogous to Etherscan for Ethereum, HypurrScan is purpose-built for Hyperliquid's unique architecture — a high-performance consensus layer that powers fully on-chain perpetual futures and spot order books with sub-second finality. The explorer provides real-time and historical tracking of transactions, wallet addresses, token balances, TWAP (time-weighted average price) executions, and HIP-1 token auction prices. Users can drill into individual accounts to view their full trading history, open positions, and asset holdings across both spot and perpetuals markets. HypurrScan also surfaces network-level statistics including validator activity, block production data, and ecosystem metrics essential for researchers, traders, and developers building on Hyperliquid L1. As the Hyperliquid ecosystem has scaled — with billions in daily trading volume and hundreds of perpetual markets — HypurrScan has become an indispensable transparency tool. Its dashboard aggregates the most critical L1 data into a single interface optimized for both casual users and power analysts navigating the HYPE ecosystem.
