The Problem

Hyperliquid's canonical bridge handles only USDC over Arbitrum, leaving BTC, ETH, SOL and other major L1 assets without a native on-ramp to its spot order book and HyperEVM.

The Solution

Unit provides a 2-of-3 MPC Guardian custodial bridge that mints 1:1 backed uAssets (UBTC, UETH, USOL, ...) into HyperCore on receipt of native deposits and burns them on withdrawal back to the user's L1 wallet.

Why it Matters

Only production multi-asset native-deposit infrastructure for Hyperliquid; supports non-EVM L1s (Bitcoin, Solana, Zcash) that EVM-only bridges cannot reach; integrated tightly with Hyperliquid's one-click trading UX.
