what's HyENA?
HyENA is a decentralized perpetual trading platform built on the Hyperliquid blockchain, enabling 24/7 trading of any asset with maximum capital efficiency. It uniquely uses USDe as collateral, allowing traders to earn native yield while providing leveraged positions, and flips traditional perp mechanics by incentivizing long positions through rewards. The platform leverages Hyperliquid's infrastructure, including HIP-3 for revenue sharing, and integrates with Ethena's synthetic dollar ecosystem. Features like builder codes and high-leverage trading make it suitable for advanced DeFi users seeking optimized capital deployment and passive rewards on collateral.

HyENA perpetuals are now available on Based Mobile App with four trading pairs: BTC, ETH, HYPE, and SOL.
Delta-neutral strategies across platforms yield 30-40% on capital using 6x leverage, with ETH perpetuals showing most consistent positive funding rates over the past 4 days. HIP3 markets remain limited to isolated margin only, creating capital inefficiency, and the platform experiences price lag due to market inefficiency.
Trading volume reaches $130M in four days since launch. The platform confirms 100M HyENA points distribution weekly for 24 weeks with no separate token launch.
HyperEVM's stablecoin supply reaches an all-time high of $152.4m, largely attributed to USDe inflows following the platform's launch, assisted by Native Markets' USDH growth.
Platform captures approximately 5% of HIP-3 perpetual trading volume within 3 days of launch.
The platform offers up to 12% APY on USDe long-sided margin positions and approximately 5% APY on other margin positions.
Within the first 24 hours post-launch, the platform records $23M trading volume ranking #2, onboards 5,000 new active users, reaches $7.8M open interest, and completely fills the $10M HLPe vault allocation. Based Season 2 has 24 days remaining, with expanded HLPe allocations and additional markets planned.
Open Interest steadily increases on the platform with BTC OI averaging 10-30% compared to 2-5% on competitor Variational, while funding rates remain volatile.
HyENA is the only Hyperliquid exchange that does not charge an added builder code fee, attributed to owning the underlying stablecoin.
Platform launches with trading pairs for HYPE, BTC, ETH, and SOL, with Stargate Finance serving as the primary bridging solution for USDe deposits to Hyperliquid and Upshift managing the HLPe vault.
