Kinetiq is a non-custodial liquid staking protocol built natively on Hyperliquid L1. Users stake HYPE and receive kHYPE, a liquid, yield-accruing representation usable across the Hyperliquid DeFi ecosystem. Behind the scenes, StakeHub — Kinetiq’s autonomous validator scoring and delegation system — routes stake to the highest-performing validators to maximise yield and reinforce network security. kHYPE grows in value automatically through validator rewards, requires no claiming, and remains fully composable for lending, liquidity provision and advanced yield strategies. Kinetiq’s architecture emphasises security through multi-layered safeguards, multiple independent audits and a $5M bug bounty. The protocol also offers iHYPE, a compliant, institution-ready staking solution. With over a billion dollars staked, Kinetiq powers scalable, efficient and integrated liquid staking for the entire Hyperliquid ecosystem.
LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol designed to enable applications, assets, and messages to move seamlessly across blockchains.

The protocol secures tens of billions of dollars in assets, has processed hundreds of billions in historical volume, and is trusted by hundreds of organizations including PayPal, Tether, Google Cloud, Paxos, and Ondo to build scalable cross-chain experiences.
