HyENA Officially Launches: Ethena-Backed, USDe-Margined Perp DEX Lands on Hyperliquid

深潮Publicado a 2025-12-10Actualizado a 2025-12-10

Resumen

HyENA, a new perpetual DEX developed by the Based team, has officially launched on Hyperliquid. Supported by the Ethena Foundation, it introduces a novel trading model that allows users to post USDe as margin. A key innovation is that eligible USDe earns up to 12% APY while being used as collateral, enabling traders to generate yield on otherwise idle assets. The platform initially supports perpetual contracts for BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE. It also introduces a new DeFi primitive, HLPe, which consolidates various revenue streams like maker profits and funding rates into a single vault share for greater transparency and capital efficiency. HyENA is one of the first major products built on Hyperliquid's new HIP-3 standard, which allows builders to deploy their own perpetual markets with customizable parameters by staking HYPE. This framework enables faster listing of new trading pairs and innovative incentives while inheriting Hyperliquid's high performance. The Based team, a top builder on Hyperliquid and backed by Ethena, views HyENA as a critical step in establishing USDe as a premier margin asset in decentralized finance, bringing a high-frequency use case from centralized exchanges onchain.

At 9 PM Beijing Time on December 9th, the new Perp DEX — HyENA, developed by the Based team, officially launched on Hyperliquid and supports using USDe as margin. HyENA is supported by the Ethena Foundation and introduces a new trading model to the on-chain perpetual market by enhancing capital efficiency, allowing idle margin assets to continuously earn yields during trading periods.

The launch of HyENA further expands the USDe ecosystem and introduces institutional-grade margin efficiency to the on-chain perpetual market.

More Efficient Perpetual Trading with USDe

HyENA allows users to open perpetual contract positions using USDe as margin/collateral and eligible USDe margin can earn up to 12% APY in the first month after launch. This means that margin assets, which were previously non-yield-bearing, can now continuously generate interest during holding periods, enabling a "trade while earning" experience.

HyENA initially supports four trading pairs: BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE.

This launch also introduces the new DeFi primitive HLPe, which integrates core revenue sources such as market-making yields, trading fees, and funding rates into a single vault certificate, making the yield structure more transparent, composable, and further enhancing capital efficiency.

Powered by HIP-3: Builder-Deployed Perpetual Markets

HyENA is one of the first major products built on Hyperliquid’s latest standard, HIP-3 (Builder-Deployed Perpetuals). Under the HIP-3 framework:

  • Builders need to stake HYPE to obtain market deployment permissions and assume corresponding responsibilities

  • Each DEX (including HyENA) can freely configure market parameters (oracle, leverage, fees, position caps, etc.)

  • Builders can safely pause or settle markets when necessary

  • A unified Dutch auction mechanism ensures fair deployment costs

  • Protocol-level trading fees will be proportionally distributed to the deployer

Leveraging HIP-3, HyENA can list new perpetual trading pairs faster, test more innovative incentive mechanisms, and operate in a transparent, permissionless environment while inheriting the high performance and security of Hyperliquid’s underlying infrastructure.

Supported by Ethena, Developed by a Top Hyperliquid Builder

Based is the development team behind HyENA and is currently the highest-earning Builder in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, having outperformed Phantom. The Ethena Foundation is one of Based’s key investors and views HyENA as a critical step in advancing USDe as a premier margin asset for decentralized exchanges.

Edison Lim, Founder and CEO of Based App:

“HIP-3 opens the door to fully permissionless, builder-owned perpetual markets, and HyENA will be one of the first major markets to fully realize the potential of this standard. By using USDe as core margin, we enable idle collateral to continuously earn yield while users trade, which is a significant step forward for Hyperliquid’s capital efficiency.”

Guy Young, Founder of Ethena:

“Users on centralized exchanges like Bybit and Binance have already shown a preference for using USDe as margin, especially with reward incentives. The launch of HyENA will bring genuine, high-frequency, real-demand use cases for USDe in decentralized scenarios. This is a major milestone in advancing USDe as a primary margin asset for on-chain perpetual markets.”

El Trilema de la Escalabilidad es un Falso Problema

Autor: Billy Gao Traducción: Jiahuan, ChainCatcher El sistema criptográfico más potente de la historia no puede proteger la privacidad de tus fondos. Cada transacción y cada posición se emiten públicamente en la cadena de bloques. La cadena de bloques es esencialmente una computadora compartida, lenta, costosa y sin propietario. Su principal ventaja es que nadie puede evitar que la uses ni engañarte sobre los resultados. La "trilema" tradicional —descentralización, escalabilidad, seguridad— ha sido en gran medida superada, pero no es el principal obstáculo. El problema real son dos defectos de diseño: la legitimidad y la falta de privacidad. La transparencia total en las cadenas públicas no es una característica positiva, es un impuesto que se paga en forma de MEV, front-running y exposición financiera. Los fondos (como las monedas estables) son el caso de uso ideal para la cadena, ya que el registro en el libro mayor es el activo en sí mismo. Sin embargo, el capital institucional y los grandes patrimonios no participan porque no exponen públicamente sus balances. La legitimidad está mejorando con marcos regulatorios, pero la privacidad sigue siendo la gran barrera. La privacidad con cumplimiento normativo demostrable, basada en pruebas criptográficas de conocimiento cero, es la solución. Permite verificar hechos (solvencia, KYC) sin revelar datos subyacentes, combinando privacidad y transparencia necesaria. Esto representa una mejora pura respecto al modelo actual y es el puente para atraer billones en capital hacia la cadena.

Las stablecoins finalmente encuentran rendimientos reales: Un análisis detallado del reaseguro en cadena Re | Diálogo con el fundador de Re, Karan Saroya

Establemente las monedas finalmente encuentran rendimientos reales: Re, una plataforma de reaseguro en cadena, absorbe monedas estables de DeFi y las utiliza como garantía para respaldar a aseguradoras estadounidenses, devolviendo las primas obtenidas a los depositantes en cadena. Actualmente respalda a 35 aseguradoras, con un negocio suscrito de 5 mil millones de dólares, y planea superar los 10 mil millones en siete meses. **Puntos clave:** 1. **Fuente de rendimiento real:** Ofrece a los tenedores de monedas estables un rendimiento anual del 12%-14% o más, proveniente del mercado de reaseguro (un billón de dólares), no correlacionado con los mercados tradicionales. 2. **Eficiencia operativa:** Los contratos inteligentes reemplazan los costosos procesos tradicionales de captación de capital, permitiendo a un equipo pequeño competir con gigantes del sector. 3. **Apalancamiento regulatorio:** Por cada 1 dólar de garantía, se pueden respaldar 5-7 dólares en primas, multiplicando los rendimientos. 4. **Integración con DeFi:** Los depositantes reciben un token que puede reutilizarse en protocolos como Morpho para aumentar aún más el rendimiento. 5. **Token de gobernanza RE:** Inspirado en Lloyd's of London, permite a los poseedores gobernar la dirección del capital y los parámetros del sistema. Re representa un punto de inflexión, conectando el capital en cadena con la economía real y proporcionando la demanda necesaria para la infraestructura DeFi existente. Su arquitectura combina un frente regulado con un backend descentralizado eficiente.
