In this episode, we’re joined by two of the three Kinetiq Co-founders, Omnia and Greenz, to discuss building a liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid. They explain core differences from earlier LSTs, staking yields, institutional interest in iHYPE, and DeFi integrations like Pendle and Valantis. The episode also previews Launch, Kinetiq’s “Exchange-as-a-Service” platform built on Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 protocol.Thanks for tuning in!
