Imagine DeFi apps with access to liquidity, near-instant finality, and integrated spot and perpetual order books within a unified ecosystem.
HyperEVM makes this possible on @HyperliquidX.
🧵
The full Hyperliquid report dives much deeper. Here's the full breakdown.
1/ Since the airdrop, Hyperliquid has grown from 6% to around 67% of the perp DEX market.
Cumulative inflows have hit a new ATH of $2.42B, highlighting Hyperliquid's impressive growth after the points farming era.
This demonstrates Hyperliquid's ability to retain and grow market share without future incentives.
2/ One goal of Hyperliquid is to expand to an EVM-compatible chain. As an extension of this, Hyperliquid has launched HyperEVM.
HyperEVM integrates Ethereum’s Virtual Machine directly into Hyperliquid’s high-performance L1, allowing apps to leverage native liquidity.
3/ HyperEVM’s dual-block architecture features frequent small blocks every 2 seconds for rapid transactions and larger blocks every minute for complex operations.
For users, this means fast confirmations for both simple and complex transactions.
4/ Powered by HyperBFT (HotStuff-based consensus), HyperEVM achieves instant transaction finality (~0.2 sec) which outperforms most EVM-compatible chains.
Unlike probabilistic finality models, HyperBFT ensures transactions are final as soon as validators reach consensus—eliminating reorg risks and improving UX.
5/ HyperEVM Adoption
• Approximately 30k accounts have been created to date
• Around 16k active users weekly
• Ranks 10th among EVM chains for fees generated over the past 7 days (Source: Nansen)
Growth has been modest so far due to the novelty of HyperEVM which could change as more functionality is added.
6/ Token Burns
The HyperEVM gas model burns transaction fees which creates deflationary pressure on HYPE.
This model strengthens tokenomics and aligns incentives across the ecosystem.
7/ HyperEVM ecosystem is growing with projects like:
@felixprotocol: Developing a mobile app to help onboard newcomers to HL and HyperEVM DeFi.
@hlnames: HL naming service similar to ENS
@hyperunit: Enables non-native asset issuance through a lock-and-mint bridging system.
@hypurrfi: Money market protocol on HyperEVM.
@HyperSwapX: AMM that has crossed $1M in TVL.
8/ Challenges
There are some challenges with HyperEVM worth noting.
• Success shifts from HL's core team to third-party devs which raises execution risk.
• Competition is strong which could make it difficult to attract high-caliber teams compared to Monad, MegaETH, Initia.
• Limited primitive apps remain beyond the existing perps & spot DEX.

AI has blurred the lines of IP ownership. @StoryProtocol thinks blockchain can fix it.
Meet the first IP blockchain reshaping creativity and royalties for the digital age.
🧵
Our full Story report dives much deeper into use cases, infrastructure, and more. Here is the full breakdown.
1/ Traditional IP systems depend on centralized registries and manual enforcement, too slow to track millions of AI-generated works created daily.
General-purpose blockchains aren't optimized either, lacking native support for complex royalty splits and embedding licensing terms into creative assets.
Hyperliquid just dodged a $13.5M bullet—but it exposed a critical flaw in decentralized trading.
Here's how one trader almost broke the system and how we can stop it from happening again.
🧵
1/ An attacker opened a large short position on JELLY, then artificially pumped its spot price, forcing liquidation.
This pushed an unrealized $13.5M loss onto Hyperliquid’s liquidity pool (HLP), as the oracle price spiked from $0.0095 to ~$0.50 per token.
2/ Hyperliquid intervened by delisting JELLY perps and force-settling positions at the original price of $0.0095, protecting HLP and leaving the attacker at a loss.
But rather than just reacting, what steps can Perp DEXs take to mitigate future risks?
AI agents are evolving from simple assistants to fully autonomous entities.
@ElizaOS is leading this shift by giving agents the ability to manage funds and operate businesses in Web3.
Here’s how ElizaOS v2 is shaping the future of AI-powered economies.
🧵
1/ AI Independence
ElizaOS started as an AI framework focused on Web3 automation. While v1 enabled AI agents to interact with smart contracts and blockchain data, v2 takes a major leap forward.
AI agents have moved on from simple commands—they’re independently managing workflows, businesses, and financial strategies.
2/ Architectural Upgrades
• Modular Core Framework: Developers can customize AI agents without modifying the core to make deployments more scalable.
• Unified Abstraction Layer: AI agents now handle multi-chain assets seamlessly.
• Event-Driven Architecture: AI agents can react to real-time data, making them more efficient in handling DeFi, governance, and logistics.
These improvements give AI more flexibility, planning capabilities, and the ability to execute more complex tasks.
Imagine an ecosystem where rollups are truly interconnected—sharing liquidity, messaging, and infrastructure without barriers.
@initia is making that future a reality.
🧵
1. Appchains Have Struggled
Appchains are expensive and time consuming to maintain. They require validators, block explorers, wallet integrations, and dev ops.
RaaS solutions (e.g., Caldera, Conduit) offer basic infra but lack key ecosystem components.
2. Initia fixes this by developing a fully integrated ecosystem to ensure rollups can interact seamlessly.
It offers:
• Standardized cross-rollup communication via IBC & LayerZero
• Single Slot Finality for low-latency confirmations
• Gas abstraction via JIT—pay gas with any token
• Native USDC via Noble & Circles CCTP
• Full ecosystem ready before mainnet
• Developer-friendly AgnosticVMs & Opinionated Rollup Framework
AI agents are no longer just experiments. To succeed in real-world applications, they need a framework built for scale and performance.
How does @arcdotfun compare to the competition? Let’s take a look.
🧵
1/ Arc is a Rust-Based Agent platform designed for speed, reliability, and security.
Through hardware-level execution speeds, built in protection against memory errors, and secure concurrency, Arc is able to enhance reliability and scalability for demanding apps in finance, healthcare, and real-time systems.
2/ Arc's architecture allows it to excel in areas where Eliza & ZerePy fall short. Arc's decentralized workflow supports trustless, low-latency operations that are ideal for apps like DeFi arbitrage agents.
Arc's real-time performance ensures sub-millisecond latency for applications like robotics, autonomous vehicles, and IoT systems.
