HYENA vs Maple

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.

Maple Finance is an on‑chain capital‑markets platform that enables under‑collateralised loans to trading firms and Web3 businesses via permissioned lending pools. Pool delegates perform credit assessment and share in origination fees, while lenders earn a fixed yield plus default protection through an insurance ‘cover’ pool. As of 2025 Maple has originated over $2.3 billion across both Ethereum and Solana deployments.
