USDe is Ethena’s synthetic dollar backed by delta‑neutral ETH perpetual hedge positions rather than off‑chain treasuries. The collateral basket auto‑rebalances between spot ETH, LSTs and short perps so the net delta remains near zero, turning staking rewards and funding rates into protocol revenue. USDe launched on Ethereum in January 2024 and surpassed $2 billion supply within five months, with deep secondary liquidity on Curve and Bybit.
The Hyperliquid Bridge settles deposits and withdrawals between Ethereum and Hyperliquid’s Layer‑2 exchange once two‑thirds of validator stake signs the transaction. A light‑client circuit batches proofs so users receive near‑instant credit on Hyperliquid while final settlement finality matches Ethereum’s L1. Since launch in February 2025, average bridge latency has been under 90 seconds with no recorded reorg incidents.
