People are clearly underestimating the power of
@hyperliquidx <> EVM composability. Imagine being able to write smart contracts on top of off-chain Hyperliquid (binance) - thats what this unlocks.
1. Trustless and programmatic market-making strategies like
@Elixir. It's possible for people to create their own HLPs.
2. Tokenization of HLP/Vaults/Perp positions for use in broader DeFi - it's possible to use these as collateral, so it becomes even easier to leverage
3. Decentralized Ethena doesn't work because of limited DEX OI, but when Hyperliquid takes over CEXs, synthetic dollars / basis vaults can become decentralized. You can also buy a coin and enter a short position atomically to optimize trade execution, resulting in more efficient markets and tighter spreads.
4. Money Markets like
@eulerfinance or
@aave can offer higher LTVs by hedging some of their risk out in the perp market
4a. Onchain liquidity will become larger due to the spot orderbooks, making it easier for liquidators to keep markets healthier (=> higher ltvs)
5. Use a perp vault/position as collateral: unlocks recursive lending loops and higher leverage DeFi strategies
6. Price oracles will be enshrined into the protocol. This means you will almost never have to pay to get price information, or have to worry about high gas fees blocking an oracle update.
So basically, prepare for a DeFi revolution
