Hyperbeat, the protocol enhancing yield infrastructure on the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, has successfully raised an oversubscribed $5.2 million seed round. This funding was co-led by ether.Fi Ventures and Electric Capital, with contributions from Coinbase Ventures, Chapter One, Selini, Maelstrom, Anchorage Digital, and community members through HyperCollective. The funds will be used to expand Hyperbeat’s infrastructure, providing traders, protocols, and institutions with improved yield-generating tools within Hyperliquid’s growing ecosystem.
As Hyperliquid’s native yield layer, Hyperbeat offers a variety of financial products aimed at simplifying complex on-chain strategies for both retail and institutional users. These products include beHYPE, a liquid staking token; Hyperbeat Earn, high-yield vaults on HyperEVM; Morphobeat, a credit layer for borrowing against vault positions; and Hyperbeat Pay, a decentralized payments solution. Hyperfolio, a portfolio tracker, integrates these tools, allowing users to manage, stake, and spend assets directly from their on-chain holdings.
The timing of the seed round aligns with a significant achievement for Hyperliquid, which recently exceeded $2.1 billion in total value locked (TVL). Avichal Garg, general partner at Electric Capital, commended Hyperbeat’s technical execution and its alignment with the broader Hyperliquid ecosystem. He highlighted that the protocol is developing the next layer of on-chain financial infrastructure, supporting liquid staking, isolated lending, strategy vaults, and integrated portfolio management.
The oversubscription of the funding round indicates growing investor confidence in DeFi infrastructure that merges institutional-grade tools with user-friendly interfaces. By making complex on-chain yields more accessible through vaults, Hyperbeat aims to democratize yield opportunities and enhance capital efficiency for a wider audience. This strategy aligns with the broader DeFi trend of creating high-performance, inclusive financial tools for both professional and community-driven markets.
With strategic support from ether.Fi Ventures and Electric Capital, Hyperbeat is well-positioned to expand its product offerings and strengthen its role in decentralized financial markets. The protocol’s comprehensive approach to yield infrastructure underscores a shift toward more accessible and efficient on-chain financial systems, fostering growth across both retail and institutional segments.
