edgeX vs HYENA

The edgeX Bridge tracks the assets users deposit to trade on edgeX, the order book exchange for perpetuals and spot. Funds are held in edgeX contracts across Ethereum, Arbitrum and the edgeX L1, while trades are matched at high speed on the exchange and settled with on-chain custody. The bridged balance is the collateral that backs trading across edgeX products.

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.
