HYENA vs Stream Finance

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.

Stream gives users exposure to market-making and delta-neutral strategies through decentralized infrastructure. Users pay up to 10% performance fees, with potential additional share if returns exceed projected APY. The strategies focus on DEX and DeFi-only trades, but when capacity is reached, Stream may partner with major market makers to continue generating yield. Any such positions are announced and shown in the transparency dashboard.
