Compare HYENA and Portal on TVL, fees, revenue and activity to understand how these projects stack up.
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.
Portal is the user interface for Wormhole, a cross‑chain messaging protocol secured by a 19‑guardian proof‑of‑authority network. It supports token transfers, NFT teleports and arbitrary message passing between more than 30 chains, including Solana, Ethereum and Aptos. A governance token airdrop was announced for Q3 2025 following the Guardian Lightpaper outlining a move to delegated staking.
