- $2.7M TVL
- $500M cumulative volume
- $2.4M open interest
- 2,500 traders
Backed by: @VitalikButerin + @StaniKulechov + @galaxyhq + @coinbase
Building on their own L2 chain - @risechain, which just launched their native stablecoin - $USDR, 100% backed by US Treasury bills
Already features include:
- AutoYield on collateral
- Portfolio margin
- Fully onchain orderbook perpetuals with CEX like speed + DeFi composability
Currently invite only
DM me - will provide invites to everyone!
Next @HyperliquidX?
Many people say "No second best" and I’m not saying anyone will replace it. But some projects clearly have similar vibes
Today I want to mention @pacifica_fi again, and why it reminds me of HL:
Most noticeable:
- No VC
- Strong team background (@ConstanceWaing previously worked at FTX)
FTX was basically a pioneer that @chameleon_jeff looked up to when building Hyperliquid
But personally, what I also notice is the silent building. Team keeps shipping strong updates (AI Agent, Unified Margin, Vaults added today)
I found HL back in October 2023, almost at the earliest stage and it was the same pattern: update after update, perfectly aligned with what the market needed at the time, but without much hype until a certain point
Now it feels very similar with Pacifica
Also mentioned in the docs that the team eventually plans to build their own blockchain which is something HL did as well
Let’s watch!
