BasedApp is an omnichannel crypto trading and spending platform built on Hyperliquid, the leading decentralized exchange offering best-in-class liquidity. It enables users to trade spot and leveraged crypto assets with real-time settlement on decentralized order books, while maintaining full self-custody — BasedApp never holds or transfers your funds. The platform also integrates smooth banking on- and off-ramps in USD and SGD, alongside a Visa card for everyday crypto spending. Backed by Ethena Labs, BasedApp bridges DeFi performance with fintech usability, giving traders and investors a seamless way to manage, trade, and spend their assets across the Hyperliquid and HyperEVM ecosystems.
HyENA is a capital-efficient perpetual DEX built on Hyperliquid, using the HIP-3 Builder-Deployed Perpetuals framework to launch and manage markets independently. HIP-3 enables faster listings, custom market configurations, and consistent performance while inheriting Hyperliquid’s security and transparency. Positions are margined in USDe, allowing traders to earn rewards as they open and maintain exposure, with HyENA developed by the Based team—the highest-revenue app in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
