Ecosystem Spotlight: Hyperion – Powering High-Performance DeFi on Aptos

Hyperion is more than its capybara mascot. The new decentralized exchange (DEX) on the block is redefining the future of DeFi trading as we know it. 

As one of the fastest-growing DEXs on Aptos, it combines the precision of an orderbook with the deep liquidity of an AMM—all on-chain, and built for serious scale. Since its mainnet debut, Hyperion has quickly become one of the top 10 DeFi projects on Aptos by TVL, showing just how fast the ecosystem is evolving.

Under the Hood

Hyperion is a hybrid DEX that combines two core trading models into one unified platform:  

  • Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM): Guarantees deep, efficient liquidity provisioning accessible to all users.

  • Orderbook: Coming soon to enable precise pricing and high-speed execution for professional traders.

Together, the models enable fast, efficient trades without compromising the user experience or execution quality on Hyperion.

Thanks to Aptos’ high-performance infrastructure—including Block-STM and the Move programming language—Hyperion can process trades in real time, even under high-volume conditions to keep transaction costs low, fast and secure. 

But Hyperion is more than a hybrid DEX: it’s building a robust suite of products that expand what’s possible for traders, LPs and integrated protocols on Aptos. One such product is its Aggregator, which sources liquidity across multiple Aptos aggregators and DEXes and help users find the best trading path.

Hyperion Vaults offers professional-grade, automated liquidity strategies that help users maximize yield with minimal active management. Vaults continuously rebalance liquidity across dynamic ranges, amplifying returns and mitigating impermanent loss. What’s more, Vault strategies are composable, making them a strong foundation for institutional-grade DeFi strategies on Aptos.

Hyperion also offers a CLMM to deliver capital-efficient, leverage-enabled liquidity provisioning on Aptos.. In partnership with Moar Market, Hyperion’s CLMM pools are already driving significant volume and adoption. 

Together, these products support Hyperion’s mission to provide a full-stack trading experience that combines automation, capital efficiency and high-performance execution for the next era of DeFi on Aptos.

Post-Mainnet Momentum

Since launching on Aptos mainnet earlier this year, Hyperion has posted impressive growth:

  • Surpassed $130M in TVL

  • Ranked among the top 10 DeFi projects on Aptos by TVL

  • Surpassed $7B in lifetime trading volume

  • Ranked top 12 among all DEXes as of trading volume during the month of June

Hyperion is delivering on the demand for high-performance DeFi infrastructure on Aptos, having integrated with other leading Aptos-native protocols, including Kofi Finance and Amnis Finance. These partnerships bring liquid staking, capital efficiency and composability to the forefront, strengthening the foundation of DeFi on Aptos and on-chain finance.

What’s Next 

Hyperion has joined the first cohort of Aptos Foundation’s LFM, a new program supporting promising ecosystem teams preparing for token generation events (TGEs) to help scale even further.

From precision swaps to composable liquidity, Hyperion is helping shape a new era of DeFi—on Aptos, and on‑chain.
