Why It Matters: Social trading is a key DeFi trend. HODL Bot’s innovation in group collaboration and risk management is noteworthy.
4th Place: Hyper Homo
Project Positioning: A native social copy-trading platform for Hyperliquid.
The team leans heavily on meme culture and community-driven branding; specific background details are limited.
The platform allows users to mirror top traders’ perpetual and spot positions in real-time, with customizable position sizing and stop-loss settings. Through community voting, users can select signals and strategies to follow, creating a decentralized investment decision mechanism.
It leverages Hyperliquid’s on-chain order book to deliver transparent, low-slippage copy trading. Unlike many competitors, users can view the full on-chain trade history.
Current Status: Still at the prototype stage with no usable front-end yet.
Why It Matters: The copy-trading market is huge. If the team can secure a first-mover advantage within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, growth prospects are significant.
5th Place: STIBS
Project Positioning: A yield-smoothing tool for Hyperliquid, focusing on reducing drawdown risks in DeFi strategies.
Team details are sparse, but public info shows that STIBS aggregates and averages returns from different strategies to reduce volatility of individual strategies. The system dynamically allocates between perpetuals, spot, and HLP liquidity mining, and automatically hedges when funding rates are abnormal.
Its innovation lies in creating smoother yields via pooled mechanisms—users enjoy relatively stable APY without suffering from sharp fluctuations of a single strategy.
Current Status: Early prototype stage; not yet deployed.
Why It Matters: Yield smoothing is critical for institutional investors. If the product matures, it could attract large amounts of capital seeking stable returns.
