Why Hyperion?
As a high-performance public chain, Aptos is striving to build the vision of a "global on-chain transaction engine" with advantages of parallel execution, second-level final confirmation, and strong scalability, becoming an important candidate for next-generation infrastructure. However, the reality is that Aptos' early ecosystem still faces typical DeFi pain points:
Liquidity fragmentation with low fund deployment efficiency
Scattered transaction paths with fragmented user experience
Lack of sustainable, structured yield products, resulting in insufficient capital retention willingness
The maturity of on-chain finance cannot be separated from efficient trading, stable liquidity, and a comprehensive yield system. The emergence of Hyperion is precisely to solve these practical pain points and build truly usable and sustainable DeFi infrastructure for the Aptos ecosystem.
How Does Hyperion Reshape Aptos Liquidity?
Hyperion has built a unified, efficient, and composable on-chain financial engine, integrating:
Smart Aggregator: Cross-chain liquidity intelligent routing, supporting multi-hop order splitting, optimizing transaction prices and slippage experience.
Concentrated Liquidity Market (CLMM): Based on the Uniswap v3 model, LPs can provide liquidity within specific price ranges, improving capital efficiency and trading depth.
Directional Liquidity Market (DLMM): Supporting asymmetric and directional strategies, flexibly adapting to volatile assets and dynamic markets.
Open Vault Platform: Strategy providers can freely deploy automated liquidity strategies, allowing ordinary users to participate in efficient yield generation without complicated operations.
This modular architecture breaks the fund fragmentation problem in the traditional DEX isolated pool mode:
Mainstream assets enhance trading depth through CLMM
Volatile assets dynamically adapt liquidity through DLMM
Smart routing opens up cross-chain transaction paths, reducing slippage and operational costs
Vault platform lowers the threshold for strategy participation, achieving yield automation
Ultimately, Hyperion has built a cross-chain shared "unified liquidity map" that provides the optimal execution path for traders and brings sustainable, high-efficiency capital utilization for LPs.
What Has Hyperion Done?
In the past 5 months, under the witness of the Aptos community, Hyperion has proven its value as the core liquidity and financial entry point of Aptos through data and products:
$7.1 billion cumulative trading volume, building Aptos' trading main stage: Since its launch, Hyperion's cumulative transaction amount has exceeded $7.1 billion, steadily ranking as the most active DEX on the Aptos network and among the top ten DEXs globally (by trading volume). Its single-day trading volume peak has repeatedly set new records, with the current daily average trading volume stable between $125 million and $150 million, demonstrating strong user activity and market demand.
$130 million TVL, with capital efficiency and on-chain yield in parallel: Hyperion's current Total Value Locked (TVL) has exceeded $130 million. Through active liquidity strategies, auto-compounding Vault system, and efficient LP solutions, it has created a high-yield, low-threshold, and optimal capital utilization on-chain asset management experience. More importantly, Hyperion has effectively coordinated trading volume and TVL scale, continuously improving the actual usage efficiency of unit funds, ensuring that each liquidity truly serves on-chain trading and ecosystem growth, avoiding capital idleness and inefficient sedimentation.
Top-tier capital endorsement, robust ecosystem foundation: Hyperion has completed strategic financing, led by OKX Ventures, with joint investment from Aptos Foundation, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes), Mirana Ventures, and other top institutions. This is not only a recognition of the team's capabilities but also a high trust in Hyperion's modular DeFi infrastructure vision.
Vault system officially launched, comprehensively upgrading user yield experience. Hyperion Vault now covers:
Auto-compounding mechanism, lowering operational barriers
Highly controllable centralized LP strategies, improving capital utilization efficiency
Multi-asset yield portfolio, enriching investment allocation space. Helping users easily obtain stable yields and reduce on-chain operational complexity.
Building a BTC asset liquidity hub, expanding the Aptos ecosystem boundaries: Through cooperation with OKX, ECHO, and others, Hyperion has become the primary liquidity center for BTC synthetic assets (such as xBTC, aBTC) trading on the Aptos chain. High-quality market depth and smooth trading experience further promote the deep integration of the Aptos ecosystem and BTC assets.
The community is the protagonist of the Hyperion ecosystem. We are continuously strengthening the participation stickiness of Aptos native users through mechanisms like DRIPs, and the Hyperion community has formed a stable user network:
Over 30,000 Discord community members
Over 130,000 Twitter followers
Nearly 950,000 active DRIPs users
Among them, DRIPs, as an on-chain incentive system, effectively enhances user participation and positive ecosystem circulation.
RION and Next Steps
Hyperion has completed product construction from 0 to 1, with user networks and trading ecosystems initially taking shape. We believe that true infrastructure is not just about functionality, but belongs to all those who push its growth.
Therefore, RION and xRION will serve as key pivots, guiding more builders, traders, and community members to deeply participate and co-create the future, while further promoting Hyperion's entry into the next stage:
- RION: Hyperion's native, cryptographically secure, and circulating token, carrying multiple utility functions within the ecosystem, mainly used for supporting transactions, decentralized settlement, and obtaining ecosystem participation qualifications by anchoring with xRION;
- xRION: Governance rights carrier of the Hyperion ecosystem, users can obtain xRION by locking RION, representing governance participation and time commitment, binding users' long-term value
TGE (Token Generation Event) will officially launch in July, after which Hyperion will successively launch:
Advanced Vault strategies, enhancing yield experience
AMM upgrade, optimizing trading efficiency and capital utilization
BTC market expansion, deeply connecting Aptos and mainstream asset networks
Launchpool plan and multi-chain cooperation to incentivize ecosystem co-building
New round of trading competitions, referral incentives, and community expansion activities
Hyperion, Becoming the Financial Foundation of Aptos
5 months, $7.1 billion in transaction volume, $130 million TVL, top-tier institutional support. Hyperion has proven itself to be the most resilient and viable financial infrastructure builder on Aptos.
In the next stage, with the launch of RION, we will continue to improve our product matrix, connect more on-chain assets, release more diverse yield scenarios, and ensure that every participant benefits from Hyperion's development.
The true financial foundation will be a continuously evolving open network. Hyperion hopes to become the connector, amplifier, and community of this network. If you are an Aptos builder, developer, long-term user, or community contributor, we not only welcome your participation but also look forward to building an efficient, transparent, and sustainable on-chain financial world together.
