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.
Pendle splits yield‑bearing tokens into Principal (PT) and Yield (YT) tokens, enabling users to lock in fixed rates or speculate on future yield. A permissionless AMM with a custom logit bonding curve lets YT premiums track forward‑looking yield expectations. Pendle TVL grew 10× in 2024 on the back of LST and RWA integrations, and PENDLE governance now controls a large veToken bribe market.
