1/ Welcome to Hyperliquid

In the past 10 days, with HYPE nearly reaching $40, Hyperliquid has gained nearly 70,000 or +10% new users.

To all new users making their first journey into Hyperliquid with this recent ATH, what are we building here, and what does the opportunity set look like for you? A brief breakdown:Image
2/ You have HYPE, Why?

You may have come to Hyperliquid firstly to buy HYPE, one of the few fundamentals-driven assets in DeFi. The Hyperliquid Assistance Fund has been buying back $1M–$3M of HYPE daily. Meanwhile, HYPE staking powers Hyperliquid’s proof-of-stake consensus (HyperBFT) and unlocks trading fee discounts for large stakers, adding utility and demand.

These dynamics have driven over $784M in HYPE buybacks, $13.3B staked, and more than $400M liquid-staked so far.
3/ What is to come for Hyperliquid?

On May 2, 2025, Hyperliquid announced HIP-3, a proposal to enable builder-deployed perpetuals markets. This follows a series of major expansions: the launch of PURR in early 2024 brought user-listed spot assets via ticker auctions, and by early 2025, Hyperliquid began supporting majors like BTC, ETH, and SOL through @hyperunit.

HIP-3 will also introduce the ability to have new collateral types for perps, one potential collateral asset bring USDhl, a fiat-backed stablecoin built for Hyperliquid. USDhl uses treasury yield to buy back HYPE, distributing it to users who LP, lend, or otherwise engage with USDhl across the ecosystem. Just a couple glimpses into what is to come.
4/ To All 70,000 new .HLs, Welcome

For those looking for a more bespoke experience on Hyperliquid or still unsure of where to go next, feel free to send a DM–our team at Felix has been building on Hyperliquid for almost a year now, and we are happy to help you get set up directly based on your desires regarding yield, liquidity, etc.

1/ We're excited to push the Hyperliquid ecosystem forward by contributing to HUSD.

In any DeFi ecosystem, fiat stablecoins are indispensable. They serve as the base asset for liquidity provision, a unit of account for lending and borrowing, and the foundation for more complex financial primitives.Image
2/ The need for a fiat stable

Without a unified fiat stable, Hyperliquid relies on bridged USDC on HyperCore (the orderbook environment) and relies on CDP stablecoins on the EVM (which work suboptimally without being paired with an EVM fiat stable).

We've experienced the pain point as we roll out feUSD.
3/ Adoption across the EVM

To start, HUSD will be paired feUSD on Curve. Furthermore, it will proliferate across our money markets and other HyperEVM money markets.

With time and sufficient community buy-in, HUSD can integrate more deeply with HyperCore’s operations.

1/ It’s finally time for Felix public mainnet. The feUSD mint cap will be lifted to 5M feUSD on Tuesday, April 8 at 12:00PM UTC.

Felix underwent a staged mainnet roll out over the past weeks. The team has been slowly scaling up feUSD to ensure the stable growth of the system.
- We witnessed five successful liquidations and two redemptions
- There is currently 1.5 million feUSD minted
- There are currently 34 borrow positions open
- feUSD/USDC is live on the spot orderbookImage
2/ Risk-on Use Cases

feUSD has been used for the following “risk-on” use cases:
- Mint feUSD against HYPE to long more HYPE via perps
- Mint feUSD to run an HLP carry trade, taking advantage of the low borrow cost on Felix
- Mint feUSD to leverage loop HYPE on HyperEVM
3/ Risk-off Use Cases

And the following “risk-off” use cases:
- Buy feUSD to deposit into Felix Stability Pools
- Buy/Mint feUSD in order to LP in AMM pools

For users looking to more clearly understand the risk profile of each of these use cases or to create tailored strategies, please reach out to Felix via DM.

1/ The Felix Protocol Security System

With HyperEVM mainnet top of mind, we'd like to share the major steps we are taking to secure the Felix protocol and bring feUSD, our CDP stablecoin product, to HyperEVM. Full paper linked below. Image
2/ Lazarus, DPRK, and the Dark Forest

DeFi can be a dark forest, and protocol security always remains table stakes. Blackhats never rest, and we don't either - security audits, monitoring, internal reviews, and more are all part of our security approach so that users can rest easy with their funds.
3/ Our Security Standard

From day one at Felix, our focus has been building security-first solutions that directly address the risks of DeFi. Much of the Felix engineering team consists of previous auditors, particularly from @threesigmaxyz.

Oracle manipulations, flash loan attacks, admin control exploits - we've studied these attack vectors deeply and know what to look out for.

1/ Today, Felix emerges from stealth.

We sit at a critical juncture for Hyperliquid. The opportunity is clear: to stand on the shoulders of the disruptors that came before, and become the on-chain financial system for everything.

Our mission is to accelerate @HyperliquidX L1. We’re building feUSD, the first Hyperliquid-native stablecoin.Image
2/ Introducing feUSD

feUSD is the cornerstone of the Felix DeFi suite. It enables users to borrow against majors (ETH, BTC, HYPE, etc.) and unlock liquidity for more use cases. Given its unique CDP architecture, Felix can offer the best rates for borrowers.

feUSD itself serves as a censorship-resistant stablecoin complete with sustainable native yield.Image
3/ Security and risk management come first

We have received an exclusive license from Liquity AG for the right to repurpose and deploy @liquityprotocol V2 on HyperEVM. This allows us to build off of their existing work and come to market with a thoroughly audited product.

Furthermore, we are working closely with security & risk partners @threesigmaxyz @anthiasxyz - and actively conducting early testing with the power users at @hyperactive_cap. We’re excited to share more soon.
