The stablecoin engine for Hyperliquid
Hyperdrive, a stablecoin money market built specifically for Hyperliquid, has recently gone live - and it just announced the launch of its S1 points program.
In just 2 weeks, the protocol went from $0 to $50M TVL!
And its new points program is built to reward real, productive on-chain activity.
Here’s how you can start accumulating points today:
Supply USDT0/USDe to lending markets
Supply HYPE to the LST market
Borrow stablecoins against BTC, ETH, or HYPE
Inviting frens: earn 10% of their points forever via your referral link
Early users have been earning points since the mainnet launch.
New activities for earning will be rolled out in the near future, and updates about this will be shared directly on Hyperdrive’s X account.
Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM is already one of the fastest-growing DeFi ecosystems, and Hyperdrive is quickly becoming its go-to stablecoin money market.

🛠️A tool for finding actionable insights
An on-chain analytics platform I use regularly is CryptoQuant.
Using this one, you can find a lot of relevant charts that show:
Network statistics
What smart money is doing
The on-chain behaviour of institutions and retail investors
Whether the long-term holders of a certain token are buying more or selling
Stablecoin data (Exchange netflows, transfer volume, etc.)
Using this tool, you can identify many interesting on-chain patterns which are helpful to spot potential trend reversals.
