Score history
This rating is re-checked every month. A point is recorded for every check, so a flat line means we looked and nothing moved. Hover anywhere on the chart to see what moved that month, and by how much.
The Problem
HYPE-ecosystem users have no native overcollateralised lending market on Hyperliquid L1, forcing them to bridge assets off-chain to access leverage, looping, or stablecoin liquidity against HYPE-correlated collateral.
The Solution
HyperLend ports the Aave V3 lending architecture to HyperEVM with Hyperliquid-native integrations: a Core Pool for HYPE / stHYPE / kHYPE / stables, isolated pools for tail-risk assets, HyperLoop for leveraged staking yield, and ERC-4626 vaults that bridge collateral into HyperCore for futures positions.
Why it Matters
Single-chain focus on Hyperliquid with deep ecosystem integrations (HyperCore bridge, HLP tokenisation, UTA portfolio margin) — the dominant lending venue on HyperEVM by TVL with no direct Aave/Morpho competitor on the chain.
