Together with Hyperdrive
Introducing the $HYPE Assistance Fund
Hyperdrive just unveiled the $HYPE Assistance Fund - a new initiative designed to align incentives across Hyperdrive and the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Here’s how it works:
Hyperdrive earns revenue in stablecoins or other assets
That revenue is used to buy $HYPE on the open market
The $HYPE obtained is then supplied as liquidity to Hyperdrive markets
It’s a flywheel in action - Hyperdrive generates yield, converts it to $HYPE, and in this way, it gets more liquidity.
The more successful it becomes, the more $HYPE will be bought.
What’s Hyperdrive?
Hyperdrive is a stablecoin money market specifically designed for Hyperliquid - and one of the fastest-growing protocols in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Using it, you can liquid stake $HYPE and use it as collateral, supply stablecoins to earn 8-15% annual yields, and borrow stablecoins against other assets.
The protocol has already amassed $56.4M in TVL.

🛠️An AI-powered DeFi Intelligence Platform
A cool AI agent platform I’ve tried recently is INFINIT Intelligence.
It’s built specifically for DeFi, and it went live in May this year.
Using it, not only you can let AI agents execute on-chain transactions on your behalf, but you can also get answers to a lot of crypto-related questions.
A few things you can do using INFINIT Intelligence:
Ask AI agents to deposit funds on protocols like AAVE and Pendle, bridge, or execute an on-chain swap on your behalf
Learn about a wide range of dApps, tokens, and DeFi strategies
Get suggestions for yield opportunities based on your current holdings
Get a breakdown of the risks that a certain DeFi strategy comes with
It’s a useful tool especially for DeFi beginners.
