How I made $1 million on HyperEVM
Original title: The Exact Setup I’m Using to Make $1M+ from HyperEVM

Editor's note: This article shares the author's detailed configuration of earning more than one million dollars through capital-efficient, Delta-neutral strategies in the HyperEVM ecosystem. The author studied 65 native protocols and recommended operations such as HyperUnit cross-chain, staking $HYPE, providing liquidity and hedging, covering multiple protocols to accumulate points while earning more than 19% annualized returns. Additional gameplay includes purchasing .hl domain names, NFTs and stablecoin operations, focusing on @hyperunit and @prjx_hl, and believes that early participation can obtain high airdrop returns.
The following is the original content (for easier reading and understanding, the original content has been reorganized):
Most people are still unaware of HyperEVM. I spent more than 20 hours researching all 65 native protocols. If you do it right, I firmly believe you can get a six- to seven-figure airdrop.
Here is the complete guide:
Step 1: Get funds on-chain (efficient use of capital)
You need to have liquidity on HyperEVM. But not all cross-chain bridges are the same.
The cross-chain bridges I use are as follows (all without tokens):
@hyperunit
@HyperSwapX bridge
@HyBridgeHL
I mainly transfer assets across chains through HyperUnit.
It will first bridge to Hypercore (Hyperliquid's transaction layer).
From there, it’s just two steps to the HyperEVM (see below for details).
Step 2: Income strategy (Delta neutral, low risk)
I don’t like impermanent loss. I seek gains. Here are my specific configurations:
1. Cross-chain via HyperUnit
2. Convert to $USDC, then buy $HYPE in spot
3. Stake 20% of $HYPE to HypurrCollective x Nansen validator
4. Transfer the rest to HyperEVM (Portfolio > Balances > Transfer to EVM)
5. Stake $HYPE as $stHYPE on @0x HyperBeat
6. Provide $stHYPE to @HypurrFi and borrow $HYPE
7. Exchange $HYPE for $stHYPE on @HyperSwapX
8. Provide $stHYPE to @hyperlendx
9. Hedge $HYPE exposure by shorting 1x (currently earning 35% annualized return through funding fees).
This configuration forms a Delta-neutral position that earns passive income while accumulating points on multiple protocols at the same time. The following is an example calculation of the strategy's returns based on current interest rates:
Step 3: How to get more points
Purchased several .hl domains from @hlnames
Got a @HypioHL NFT on @drip__trade
UBTC + UETH available on @HypurrFi and @hyperlendx (hedged when funding is positive, ~11% APY+)
I also use stablecoins in the ecosystem:
Using USDC in HLP (Hyperliquid → Vaults → Protocol Vaults)
Lend USDT 0 on @HypurrFi and @felixprotocol
Providing USDT 0/feUSD liquidity pair on @HyperSwapX (extremely narrow range, excellent APY)
Providing feUSD on @felixprotocol
This configuration covers almost every vertical area of HyperEVM.
Step 4: Benefits of this configuration
Unit Points
Hyperliquid Points
Nansen Points
Hyperbeat Points
Drip Points
Hypio Points
Felix Points
HypurrFi Points
HyperSwap Points
HyperLend Points
HyperEVM Credits
HL Names Points
At the same time, my capital can still obtain an annualized rate of return of more than 19%.
Some of these point systems are confirmed, others are speculative. I'm betting on it across the board.
Step 5: Hide the gameplay
Currently, most protocols on HyperEVM have only 5,000 to 10,000 users, which is comparable to the user scale of Jito before the airdrop.
If you’re reading this, you’re likely in the top 1% of early adopters.
But there are a few ways to play that can bring higher asymmetric returns. I focus on the following two:
@hyperunit
@prjx_hl
Let’s talk about Unit first.
This may be the most underrated protocol in the entire HyperEVM ecosystem. It is already online, has no tokens, and is unknown.
But if they can achieve their goal — putting real-world stocks on a blockchain — and then launch a token? This could easily be a billion-dollar airdrop.
My guess about the airdrop formula is:
Airdrop = (Unit assets held × holding time) + (cross-chain transaction volume × coefficient)
So I started cross-chain early, and the cross-chain scale was large,
Then let the assets stay quietly in the spot HL, liquidity pool or lending market.
Let's talk about Project X. It's still a black box at the moment, but...
This team has been promoting the development of the InfoFi wave before it was even named, and has also airdropped a lot of $$$ to participants.
Yes, they’ve had some pre-release heat, but I still think it’s still early.
That’s exactly why I wanted to get involved.
This is my configuration.
Delta neutral, capital efficient. Accumulate points that no one cares about while earning yield. Most people are waiting for the next big airdrop. I am ready for it.
If I'm wrong? I still get rewarded.
If I’m right? You’ll see the results on the chain.
