HYENA vs Meteora

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.

Meteora is building the most secure, sustainable, and composable yield layer for Solana and DeFi. The protocol powers multiple liquidity models including DAMM, DLMM, Dynamic Bonding Curve, and Dynamic AMM pools. Liquidity providers benefit from dynamic fees, precise liquidity concentration, flexible strategies, and lending yields on stable pairs. Meteora has generated over $1.49 billion in fees, processed more than $259 billion in swap volume, and currently secures $823 million in total value locked. Revenue accrues from swap and trading fees collected across all pool types, with treasury and token holders sharing in protocol earnings.
