Hyperbeat
Hyperbeat is a native protocol built on the Hyperliquid blockchain ecosystem that aims to scale HyperliquidX, HyperEVM, and the broader Hyperliquid ecosystem through various financial services and infrastructure support.
Overview
Hyperbeat operates as a community-driven protocol within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, focusing on providing infrastructure, liquidity, and support for the blockchain network. The protocol was self-funded and developed by early Hyperliquid users and experienced builders from the Ethereum ecosystem [1]. Hyperbeat positions itself at "the intersection of flawless performance and unwavering conviction," with the stated mission of validating both "blocks and beliefs" until Hyperliquid houses all of finance [2].
The protocol maintains a significant presence in the Hyperliquid ecosystem with a Total Value Locked (TVL) of approximately $42.07 million as of early 2025 [2]. Hyperbeat's operations span multiple areas including node validation, liquidity provision through vaults, treasury management, and ecosystem funding for new protocols building on Hyperliquid.
Key Components
Hyperbeat Validator Node
Hyperbeat operates a Hyperliquid validator node, informally known as 'HyperP2PBeatio,' which was launched in July 2024. The node is run in collaboration with P2P.org and Hypio, contributing to the security and decentralization of the Hyperliquid network [3]. The validator node processes transactions and helps maintain consensus on the Hyperliquid blockchain.
Users can stake HYPE tokens (Hyperliquid's native token) with Hyperbeat's validator to earn rewards while supporting network security. The staking process is facilitated through Hyperbeat's platform, allowing users to participate in network validation without running their own nodes [4].
Hyperbeat Vaults
A core offering of the Hyperbeat protocol is its vault system, which provides liquidity strategies for the HyperEVM ecosystem. These vaults include:
- HYPE Vault - Focused on the network's native token
- UBTC Vault - Bitcoin-related strategies
- HyperETH Vault - Ethereum-related strategies
- HyperBTC Vault - Additional Bitcoin-focused strategies
- HyperUSD Vault - Stablecoin strategies
The vaults were initially launched with a community-run HyperEVM pre-launch vault, operated in collaboration with Veda and Mizu. These vaults serve as liquidity pools that help maintain market efficiency within the Hyperliquid ecosystem while generating returns for participants [6].
Treasury Operations (Hyperstrategy)
Hyperbeat conducts treasury operations under the name "Hyperstrategy" in collaboration with Hypio. Through various revenue streams, Hyperbeat accumulates HYPE tokens and other ecosystem tokens, which are then used to provide funding to protocols building on Hyperliquid [1].
This treasury management approach allows Hyperbeat to support the growth of the Hyperliquid ecosystem while maintaining reserves for future development and expansion. The treasury also serves as a stability mechanism for the protocol during market volatility.
Ecosystem Support
Beyond its core financial services, Hyperbeat provides funding and go-to-market support for new protocols building on Hyperliquid. This initiative aims to foster innovation and expand the utility of the Hyperliquid blockchain [1].
Hyperbeat explicitly mentions supporting HyperliquidX and El Jefe with rewards, ecosystem investments, treasury management, and community infrastructure development [2].
Technical Infrastructure
Hyperbeat maintains a public RPC (Remote Procedure Call) node at "hl-mainnet.rpc.p2p.world/evm" that allows developers and users to interact with the Hyperliquid blockchain [2]. This infrastructure element is crucial for enabling decentralized applications to communicate with the blockchain.
The technical design of Hyperbeat's vaults is documented in their official documentation, providing transparency about how the protocol manages user funds and executes its strategies [7].
Community and Governance
Hyperbeat emphasizes community alignment in its operations. The protocol maintains active communication channels including:
- A blog for updates and educational content;
- Documentation for technical details;
- Social media presence on X (formerly Twitter);
- A Telegram community channel.
The protocol's governance structure is not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, but the emphasis on community suggests some form of community input into protocol decisions.
Team
Hyperbeat was created by early Hyperliquid users and experienced builders from the Ethereum ecosystem. The team describes itself as "born from the trenches and entirely self-funded" [1]. Specific team members are referred to as "core contributors" in the documentation structure, though individual identities are not prominently featured in the available materials [8].
The protocol operates in collaboration with several partners including:
- P2P.org and Hypio for validator node operations;
- Veda and Mizu for vault operations;
- Hypio for treasury management.
Relationship with Hyperliquid
Hyperbeat is built specifically for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, which is described as "the evolution of finance" that aims to house "all of finance" on a single platform [2]. Hyperliquid itself is building a comprehensive financial stack that includes:
- Native token ledger;
- Spot order book;
- Built-in oracle;
- Perpetual futures trading.
Hyperbeat positions itself as "the heartbeat of Hyperliquid," suggesting a core supporting role in the broader ecosystem rather than a competing protocol [2].
Hyperbeat maintains a dedicated section for audits in its documentation, indicating a commitment to security and transparency [9]. However, specific details about completed audits, findings, or security measures are not prominently featured in the available materials. [12] [13]
