All Routes lead to Hyperliquid

3 min read1 day ago

Introduction

At Router we focus on speed of execution, reliability and UX with the transparency of decentralized finance (DeFi). Building on Hyperliquid was always inevitable, so we decided to go all in. Here’s what we built:

The fastest bridge for Hyperliquid. Bridge from over 35 chains in a single step, including non-EVM heavyweights like Sui
Effortless cross-chain staking for $HYPE
Rewards for $HYPE stakers via PURRint from HyperBeat
Acquired a spot ticker for $ROUTE via Dutch Auction
Omnichain tokens for the Hyperliquid Ecosystem
Chain abstraction for every protocol building for HyperEVM
Quality-of-life improvements for testnet bridging, enhancing usability for both users and protocols

Hyperliquid Deposits, Live on Nitro

We’re users first, and know the pain of switching chains, signing extra approvals, gas and unnecessary complexity. So we decided to enhance interoperability for Hyperliquid with Nitro.

Here’s how it works:

Router x HyperBeat

HyperBeat was pivotal in bringing Router to Hyperliquid and we are delighted to announce an exciting flywheel we built together with “the heartbeat of Hyperliquid”.

Bridging fees from Nitro’s Hyperliquid instance will be used to conduct buybacks of $ROUTE on Hyperliquid for distribution to $HYPE stakers via HyperBeat.

$ROUTE Trading Is Coming to Hyperliquid

We successfully acquired the $ROUTE ticker via Hyperliquid’s Dutch Auction mechanism on December 30, 2024. This is the first step towards $ROUTE HyperEVM deployment and trading on Hyperliquid.

Nitro for HyperEVM Testnet

We decided to also offer some quality of life improvements for protocols and users by integrating the HyperEVM testnet into Nitro. With support for HyperEVM mainnet on its launch.

From Sepolia to Arbitrum Sepolia, Fuji, and beyond, users can now transfer and stake testnet funds with validators to secure the network. Protocols can also make their testnet applications cross-chain to improve UX for your test deployments.

Cross-chain Staking, Made Effortless

We believe that staking and deposits should not feel forced, so we’re extending our seamless bridging capabilities to $HYPE Staking and Vault deposits. Soon, staking and liquid staking on Hyperliquid from chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and many more, will be a single click away. Check out what we built with StakeStone to see it in action already.

Another adapter we’re building enables deposits into HLP from any chain. This can be extended to any vault, if you have a vault and want to extend reach out to us on Telegram or Discord.

Chain-abstraction for every HyperEVM

Router Intents framework enables every Hyperliquid project to go multi-chain. Abstracting functionalities like lending, trading, and liquidity provisioning for users — all seamlessly integrated into your protocol. If you want to go global with Router, reach out to us on X, Telegram or Discord!

Fees collected by Router via intent-driven applications on Hyperliquid will also be used to buy back ROUTE tokens directly on Hyperliquid. This fuels growth for both the Hyperliquid and Router ecosystems, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of value.

Omnichain Tokens for the Hyperliquid Ecosystem

Router enables your protocol to extend its tokens to HyperEVM and facilitates the expansion of Hyperliquid-native projects to other chains too. For instance, memecoins listed on Hypurr Fun can seamlessly deploy their tokens to any other chain via Router. This bridges the gaps between isolated ecosystems, allowing tokens to thrive in multiple environments and drive adoption.

Here’s to the start of something extraordinary. Ready to dive in?
