The Problem
Liquid staking tokens on generic AMMs are constantly sold below their true redemption value to rebalance pools, leaking profit to arbitrageurs (Loss-Versus-Unstaking). On Hyperliquid, stakers also face a 7-day unbonding queue that locks up liquidity.
The Solution
stHYPE gives HYPE stakers a liquid, yield-bearing token redeemable 1:1 through the native queue, with instant-exit options. The STEX AMM never sells the LST below true value, rebalancing via the native withdrawal queue and putting idle reserves to work in lending markets.
Why it Matters
A LST-specific AMM that structurally eliminates depeg-arbitrage losses, combined with a leading Hyperliquid liquid-staking token, built by an ex-Nethermind team.
