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.

Decentralized exchanges on Hyperliquid benefit from a structural advantage no other L1 offers: shared order book liquidity with HyperCore's native perp exchange. Valantis operates in this space where AMMs and swap protocols provide the spot liquidity that the rest of the ecosystem depends on — from LST trading to token launches and long-tail asset price discovery. Sub-second block times make the trading experience comparable to centralized exchanges.
