Felix agent security
Over the past 8 months, a series of exploits, multiple likely using frontier AI models to find frontend and smart contract-level vulnerabilities in DeFi apps, have altered the DeFi risk landscape gravely. This has led to a clear re-underwriting of acceptable DeFi risk and yield profiles. To combat this threat, Felix Labs has been putting in place what we are terming for now our agent security system.
Concretely, this means:
• Every code change is reviewed by the latest available frontier models before deployment, alongside our existing audit and human review process.
• Ongoing model-driven review of the deployed Felix codebase and our OpSec processes, re-run as newer models become available.
• Reviews operating alongside our existing monitoring systems covering both system risk and collateral risk.
No security system is a guarantee. However, what this does accomplish is 1) meaningfully raise the cost for a malicious actor and 2) adds a detection layer that improves with every model generation.
Risk and security continue to be our priority #1 at Felix. Offering the best yields to Hyperliquid lenders and the best capital efficiency to borrowers are both key value propositions but secondary if protocol solvency is not first in check. Feel free to reach out if interested in hearing more on our systems.

The benefits of V2 vaults and why we've upgraded to V2
Last week, we went live with Morpho V2 vaults on Felix, upgrading from the Morpho V1 vaults. The V1 vaults remain live and active during the migration process, but what are the benefits of V2? The full benefits will be linked in the tweet below, but here is a overview of two of the key upgrades:
1. New yield sources
Via the new adapter model for V2 vaults, Felix vaults can now lend to other sources of yield for finding the highest risk-adjusted yield for Felix lenders. In the future, this could include other protocols on HyperEVM or HyperCore Earn, letting users find the best yield across Hyperliquid in a passive, risk-managed way
2. More granular risk controls
V2 vaults include more granular risk parameterization and separation including upgrades like allowing for absolute caps and relative caps (e.g. USDC lending to HYPE cap of $10m vs only lending X% of USDC vault supply against any particular asset). V2 vaults also include more role separation across the vault control stack (owner, curator, allocator, and sentinel)
Felix vaults are all non-custodial and deployed with the @Morpho stack. If you’re a lender interested in earning yield on Felix or a current Felix lender with more questions on the upgrade from V1 to V2 vaults, feel free to reach out to us. In order to migrate to V2, just connect your wallet you have a V1 vault position with on the Felix app, and click “Migrate.”
Felix vaults V2 via @Morpho are now live.
The new V2 vaults merge the prior V1 flagship and frontier vaults in order to unify liquidity and allow for a smoother borrower experience on Felix. Frontier vaults may return in the future once more long-tail collateral assets are scaling on Hyperliquid.
