HYENA vs Morpho

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.

Morpho Blue is a minimal peer‑to‑peer lending primitive where anyone can deploy an isolated market smart contract referencing an external Chainlink price feed. Rates dynamically converge toward Compound V3 curves but settle peer‑to‑peer, which removes spread capture by the protocol and routes it to lenders and borrowers. The entire factory is less than 500 lines of Solidity and was formally verified by Certora.
