Kinetiq vs Orderly

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.

The Orderly Bridge tracks the assets deposited into Orderly, the omnichain order book infrastructure behind many perpetual DEXs. Users deposit from Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain and other networks, and their funds are settled on Orderly's own chain, where a shared central limit order book serves every front end built on Orderly. The bridged balance is the collateral used for trading across those venues.
