Volmex
Volmex Finance is the leading protocol for crypto volatility products, offering on-chain implied volatility indices and derivatives. Their flagship products — BVIV (Bitcoin Implied Volatility Index) and EVIV (Ethereum Implied Volatility Index) — give traders a standardized way to hedge or speculate on market volatility, similar to how TradFi investors use the VIX. Volmex integrated with Hyperliquid via HIP-3, bringing perpetual volatility trading directly to the platform's high-performance order book. This allows Hyperliquid users to take long or short positions on crypto volatility without leaving the ecosystem. BVIV and EVIV are derived from options market data across major venues, providing transparent and manipulation-resistant benchmarks. For portfolio managers, volatility products serve as powerful hedging tools — when markets crash, volatility spikes, making BVIV/EVIV longs an effective hedge against spot or perp losses. Volmex's integration represents a significant step in bringing sophisticated TradFi-grade instruments to DeFi, deepening Hyperliquid's product suite beyond directional perpetuals and giving traders a complete toolkit to express volatility views and manage risk across all market conditions.

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.

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.
