Hyperbeat vs Lighter

Hyperbeat Earn is Hyperliquid’s native yield layer, offering automated vaults that optimize returns across HyperEVM and Hypercore. Its Meta-Vault architecture continuously allocates liquidity to the best risk-adjusted opportunities, while delta-neutral strategies leverage Hypercore funding markets and Unit Protocol to generate sustainable, market-independent yield. The product suite also includes HYPE liquid staking and HIP-3 liquidity vaults, all secured with onchain solvency proofs. Hyperbeat Earn now manages hundreds of millions in TVL and serves as the primary yield hub of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
