Gauntlet

Gauntlet is a financial risk management and protocol optimization platform that uses agent-based market simulations to stress-test DeFi protocols and optimize their economic parameters. As protocols in the Hyperliquid ecosystem scale their TVL in lending markets and liquidity vaults, Gauntlet's simulation engine models adversarial behaviors, market crashes, and oracle manipulation scenarios to identify parameter configurations that maximize capital efficiency while minimizing insolvency risk. Gauntlet provides ongoing risk management services—continuously updating protocol parameters like liquidation bonuses, borrow caps, and collateral ratios in response to changing market conditions.

Analytics and data platforms are crucial for understanding the Hyperliquid ecosystem — from tracking whale movements and funding rate trends to monitoring protocol TVL. Gauntlet contributes to this category that helps traders make informed decisions. With HyperCore's transparent on-chain order book and HyperEVM's growing DeFi activity, there is rich data to analyze across the entire Hyperliquid stack.
