Why do we need Hyperion?
As a high-performance public chain, Aptos is striving to build the vision of a 'global on-chain trading engine', relying on the technical advantages of parallel execution, second-level final confirmation, and strong scalability, to become an important candidate for the next-generation infrastructure. However, the fact is that the early Aptos ecosystem still faces typical DeFi pain points:
Liquidity fragmentation, low capital deployment efficiency
Scattered trading paths, fragmented user experience
Lack of sustainable and structured yield products, insufficient willingness to accumulate funds
The maturity of on-chain finance relies on efficient trading, stable liquidity, and a complete yield system. The emergence of Hyperion is precisely to solve these practical pain points and establish 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 Aggregation Trading: Cross-chain liquidity smart routing, supporting multi-hop order splitting, optimizing trading prices and slippage experience.
Centralized Liquidity Market (CLMM): Based on the Uniswap v3 model, LPs can provide liquidity in specific price ranges, enhancing capital efficiency and trading depth.
Directional Liquidity Market (DLMM): Supports asymmetric and directional strategies, flexibly responding 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 cumbersome operations.
This modular architecture breaks the funding fragmentation issue under the isolated pool model of traditional DEXs:
Mainstream assets enhance trading depth through CLMM
Volatile assets dynamically adapt liquidity through DLMM
Smart routing opens up the entire chain transaction path, reducing slippage and operational costs
The Vault platform lowers the threshold for strategy participation, achieving automated returns
Ultimately, Hyperion has built a 'unified liquidity map' shared across all chains, providing traders with optimal execution paths and bringing sustainable and efficient capital utilization to LPs.
What has Hyperion done?
In just 5 months, with the joint witness of the Aptos community, Hyperion has demonstrated its value as the core liquidity and financial entry of Aptos through data and products:
$7.1 billion cumulative trading volume, building Aptos trading hub: Since its launch, Hyperion's cumulative trading volume has surpassed $7.1 billion, firmly positioning it as the most active DEX on the Aptos network and one of the top ten DEXs in the entire network (by trading volume). Notably, daily trading volume peaks have repeatedly broken records, with the current daily average trading volume stabilizing in the range of $125 million to $150 million, demonstrating strong user activity and market demand.
$130 million TVL, parallel funding efficiency and on-chain yields: Hyperion's current total locked value (TVL) has surpassed $130 million, creating a high-yield, low-threshold, and optimal capital utilization on-chain asset management experience through active liquidity strategies, automated reinvestment Vault systems, and efficient LP solutions. More importantly, Hyperion effectively coordinates trading volume and TVL scale, continuously improving the actual utilization efficiency of each unit of capital, ensuring that every liquidity truly serves on-chain transactions and ecosystem growth, avoiding idle funds and inefficient accumulation.
Top-tier capital endorsement, robust ecological foundation: Hyperion has completed strategic financing, led by OKX Ventures, with top institutions such as Aptos Foundation, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes), and Mirana Ventures participating in the investment. This not only recognizes the team's capabilities but also reflects a high level of trust in Hyperion's vision for modular DeFi infrastructure.
The Vault system is officially online, and user yield experience has been comprehensively upgraded. Hyperion Vault has covered:
Automated reinvestment mechanism, lowering operational thresholds
Highly controllable centralized LP strategy, enhancing capital utilization efficiency
Multi-asset yield portfolio, enriching investment configuration space. Helping users easily obtain stable returns and reducing the complexity of on-chain operations.
Building a BTC asset liquidity hub, expanding the boundaries of the Aptos ecosystem: Hyperion has become the main liquidity center for trading synthetic assets (such as xBTC, aBTC) on the Aptos chain through partnerships with OKX, ECHO, etc. High-quality market depth and smooth trading experience further promote the deep integration of the Aptos ecosystem with BTC assets.
The community is the main character of the Hyperion ecosystem. We are continuously strengthening the engagement of native Aptos users through mechanisms like DRIPs, and the Hyperion community has now formed a stable user network:
Over 30,000 Discord community members
Over 130,000 Twitter followers
Nearly 950,000 cumulative active DRIPs users
Among them, DRIPs, as an on-chain incentive system, have effectively enhanced user participation and positive ecological cycles.
RION and the next steps
Hyperion has completed the product construction from 0 to 1, and the user network and trading ecosystem have initially taken shape. We believe that true infrastructure is not only about functionality, but also belongs to all those who contribute to its growth.
For this reason, RION and xRION will serve as key hubs, guiding more builders, traders, and community members to participate deeply and co-build the future, while further advancing Hyperion into the next phase:
- RION: The native, cryptographically secure, and tradable token of the Hyperion platform, which undertakes multiple utility functions within the ecosystem, primarily used to support transactions, decentralized settlement, and to anchor xRION for obtaining ecological participation qualifications.
- xRION: The governance token of the Hyperion ecosystem, users can lock RION to obtain xRION, representing governance participation and time commitment, binding users to long-term value
The TGE (Token Generation Event) will officially launch in July, followed by the gradual rollout of Hyperion:
Advanced Vault strategy, enhancing yield experience
AMM upgrade, optimizing trading efficiency and capital utilization
BTC market expansion, deeply connecting Aptos with mainstream asset networks
Launchpool program and multi-chain cooperation, incentivizing ecosystem co-construction
A new round of trading competitions, referral incentives, and community expansion activities
Hyperion will become the financial underpinning of Aptos
In 5 months, $7.1 billion in trading volume, $130 million TVL, top-tier institutional support. Hyperion has already proven itself to be the most resilient and vital financial infrastructure builder on Aptos with data and products.
In the next phase, with the launch of RION, we will continue to improve the product matrix, connect more on-chain assets, release richer yield scenarios, and enable every participant to benefit from Hyperion's development.
The true financial underlying will be a continuously evolving open network. Hyperion hopes to become the connector, amplifier, and community of this network. If you are a builder, developer, long-term user, or community contributor of Aptos, we not only welcome your participation but also look forward to building an efficient, transparent, and sustainable on-chain financial world with you.
