Rumpel Labs Launches on HyperEVM: Redefining DeFi Rewards with Instant Liquidity

Rumpel Labs is thrilled to announce our launch on HyperEVM, a pivotal moment for both, our protocol and the broader DeFi ecosystem. As the first point tokenization protocol on HyperEVM, Rumpel is set to transform how users interact with DeFi reward points, unlocking unprecedented liquidity and flexibility.

By launching on HyperEVM, we’re joining a high-performance, rapidly growing ecosystem that’s redefining decentralized finance. In addition to our HyperEVM debut, we are excited to announce our first protocol launch partners: Hyperbeat and Sentiment. Together, we’re poised to deliver immediate value to users through instant point liquidity and maximized yields, amplifying HyperEVM’s potential for growth.

Why Rumpel Labs is a Game-Changer for DeFi

Rumpel Labs introduces a groundbreaking approach to DeFi reward points, addressing longstanding pain points in the airdrop and token generation event (TGE) model. Our protocol enables users to tokenize offchain loyalty points—such as those from Ethena, Symbiotic, Zircuit, and Resolv—and trade them as Rumpel Point Tokens. This innovation delivers several key benefits:

• Instant Liquidity for Points: Users no longer need to wait for airdrops or TGEs to realize value. Rumpel allows point farmers to sell their points immediately, providing real-time price discovery and capital efficiency. This eliminates the uncertainty and delays often associated with airdrop payouts, which have historically underperformed expectations.

• Enhanced Transparency and Value: By tokenizing points, Rumpel creates a transparent secondary market for trading, enabling better price discovery for point holders, traders, and issuers. This fosters trust and ensures points reflect their true market value.

• Empowering All Stakeholders: Point farmers can monetize their efforts early, investors can gain exposure to promising protocols, and issuers benefit from increased engagement and marketing through speculative trading dynamics.

Rumpel’s infrastructure, including our specialized wallet and oracle for validating offchain point balances, ensures seamless minting and redemption of Point Tokens. This not only solves liquidity constraints but also sets a new standard for how DeFi protocols incentivize and reward user engagement.

Why HyperEVM is the Ideal Chain for Rumpel

HyperEVM, launched in February 2025, is an EVM-compatible layer integrated into Hyperliquid’s high-performance Layer 1 blockchain. Its unique architecture and vibrant ecosystem make it the perfect platform for Rumpel’s innovative approach. Here’s why HyperEVM stands out:

• Unmatched Performance: Built on HyperBFT, a consensus mechanism derived from HotStuff, HyperEVM delivers sub-second block times and a theoretical capacity of 2 million transactions per second. This ensures fast, low-cost interactions critical for powering speed and scale, which are both critical for providing Rumpel’s users with the best possible on-chain experience.

• Rapid Growth and Vibrant User Base: HyperEVM’s ecosystem is expanding quickly, with daily transaction volumes exceeding 300,000 and over 20,000 active addresses. Despite explosive TVL growth to $1.2B, user saturation remains low, offering early adopters like Rumpel users a significant edge.

• Rich DeFi Opportunities: HyperEVM hosts a growing suite of tokenless protocols with active point campaigns, creating a fertile ground for airdrop farming. With 39% of $HYPE tokens ($4B at current prices) reserved for future community rewards, user activity on HyperEVM could become highly incentivized in the coming weeks/months.

• Community-Driven Rewards: Hyperliquid’s history of massive airdrops—distributing 31% of $HYPE to 94,000 users in November 2024—underscores its commitment to rewarding early participants. HyperEVM’s focus on organic engagement aligns perfectly with Rumpel’s mission to empower users.

By launching on HyperEVM, Rumpel taps into a high-performance, user-centric ecosystem to deliver liquid, transparent, and rewarding DeFi experiences.

Strategic Launch Partners: Hyperbeat and Sentiment

We’re excited to announce this launch with our innovative partners, Hyperbeat and Sentiment, both of which enhance Rumpel’s value proposition and strengthen the HyperEVM ecosystem.

• Hyperbeat: A leading protocol on HyperEVM, Hyperbeat simplifies DeFi with automated strategies and native leverage, managing $123M in TVL across its vaults and strategies. Rumpel’s first supported strategy, Hyperbeat Ultra HYPE vault distributes capital across multiple protocols, earning users Heart points and rewards from partners like HyperLend and HypurrFi.

• Sentiment: As a leveraged DeFi lending protocol, Sentiment supports core HyperEVM assets like $HYPE and $USDXL, providing a robust foundation for lending and borrowing. Sentiment’s core innovation is its ability to house Hyperliquid Perp positions as collateral. Rumpel's first two supported strategies are Sentiment’s HYPE Superpool lending position & wstHYPE/wHYPE looping.

These partnerships enable Rumpel users to seamlessly integrate point trading with automated yield farming and leveraged lending, creating a powerful synergy within HyperEVM’s ecosystem.

Why This Launch Matters

Rumpel’s launch on HyperEVM is a defining moment for DeFi. By enabling users to tokenize and trade points without waiting for airdrops or TGEs, we’re removing barriers to liquidity and empowering users to capture value in real time. This addresses critical issues in the current airdrop model, where 23 of 31 major airdrop tokens have lost value post-listing, often due to opaque criteria and underwhelming allocations.

HyperEVM’s high-performance infrastructure and vibrant, undersaturated ecosystem provide the ideal environment for Rumpel to scale. Our partnerships with Hyperbeat and Sentiment further amplify this potential, offering users diverse, high-yield strategies to engage with the ecosystem.

This launch isn’t just about Rumpel—it’s about redefining how DeFi rewards work. By bringing liquidity, transparency, and flexibility to points, we’re setting a new standard for user empowerment. HyperEVM’s growth trajectory and innovative architecture make it the perfect stage for this transformation.
