Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about HyperBeat and HyperEVM DeFi.
What is HyperBeat? +
HyperBeat is the premier DeFi protocol built natively on HyperEVM. It combines a high-speed AMM swap engine, cross-chain bridge, liquidity pools, and auto-compounding staking vaults — all in one unified platform with the HBEAT governance token at its core.
What is HyperEVM? +
HyperEVM is a next-generation EVM-compatible blockchain designed for ultra-high-throughput DeFi applications. It offers sub-second transaction finality, near-zero gas fees, and full EVM compatibility — making it ideal for complex DeFi protocols like HyperBeat.
What is the HBEAT token? +
HBEAT is the native governance and utility token of the HyperBeat protocol. It is used for staking (earning up to 186% APY), voting on governance proposals, boosting LP rewards, paying reduced protocol fees, and participating in the HyperBeat Launchpad.
How do I start using HyperBeat? +
Connect your EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Rabby, etc.), switch to HyperEVM network, and you're ready. You can swap tokens, bridge assets from other chains, provide liquidity, or stake HBEAT — all from the main app interface at app-hyperbeat.xyz.
What are HyperBeat's trading fees? +
HyperBeat charges a 0.25% fee on swaps, which is split between liquidity providers (0.20%) and the protocol treasury (0.05%). Bridge transfers cost a flat 0.05% — among the lowest in the industry. HBEAT stakers receive fee-sharing rewards from protocol revenue.
How does staking work on HyperBeat? +
Stake HBEAT in HyperBeat Vault V2 to earn up to 186% APY. Rewards auto-compound every block for maximum efficiency. You can choose flexible staking (withdraw anytime) or fixed-term staking (30/60/90 days) for higher yields. No minimum stake amount is required.
What is auto-compounding? +
Auto-compounding means your staking rewards are automatically reinvested back into your stake every block, earning you returns on your returns. HyperBeat Vault V2 does this fully on-chain with no manual intervention needed — maximizing your effective APY over time.
Which blockchains does the HyperBeat bridge support? +
The HyperBeat bridge currently supports 15+ chains including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Solana, Fantom, zkSync Era, Linea, Scroll, and more. New chains are added through governance proposals. Bridge transfers average ~18 seconds.
How is the bridge secured? +
The HyperBeat bridge uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) across 12+ independent nodes. No single node can authorize transactions alone — a cryptographic threshold of nodes must sign. All bridge contracts are audited by CertiK, OpenZeppelin, PeckShield, and Trail of Bits.
Is HyperBeat non-custodial? +
Yes, 100%. HyperBeat is fully non-custodial — you always retain control of your private keys and assets. All protocol interactions happen directly via smart contracts. HyperBeat never holds or can access your funds at any point.
What is concentrated liquidity? +
Concentrated liquidity (coming in HyperBeat V3) allows LPs to provide liquidity within specific price ranges rather than across the full range. This means LPs can achieve much higher capital efficiency and fee earnings on their deposited assets — potentially 10-100x more than standard AMM pools.
How does HyperBeat governance work? +
HBEAT token holders vote on-chain on governance proposals including fee structures, new chain integrations, treasury allocations, protocol upgrades, and new product launches. Voting power is proportional to staked HBEAT balance. All proposals have a 72-hour timelock before execution.
What are the risks of providing liquidity? +
Like all AMM pools, HyperBeat liquidity providers are exposed to impermanent loss when the price ratio of the token pair changes significantly. Volatile pairs (e.g. HBEAT/ETH) carry more impermanent loss risk than stable pairs (e.g. HBEAT/USDC). Fee earnings often offset IL over time.
How do I add liquidity to a pool? +
Navigate to the Pool tab in the HyperBeat app, select your desired pool pair (e.g. HBEAT/USDC), enter the amount of Token A you wish to deposit, and the contract will automatically calculate the required Token B amount to maintain the pool ratio. Confirm the transaction to receive LP tokens.
What do LP tokens represent? +
LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens represent your proportional share of a liquidity pool. They automatically accrue trading fee rewards over time. You can stake LP tokens in HyperBeat farms to earn additional HBEAT rewards on top of base trading fees. Redeem LP tokens at any time to withdraw your liquidity.
Is there a HyperBeat token vesting schedule? +
Yes. Team and investor tokens are subject to a 12-month cliff followed by 24-month linear vesting. Community rewards and ecosystem development tokens are released over 4 years on a block-by-block schedule. The full tokenomics and vesting schedule is publicly verifiable on-chain.
What is the HBEAT maximum supply? +
HBEAT has a fixed maximum supply of 500,000,000 tokens. The supply is allocated as follows: 40% community rewards & farming, 20% ecosystem development, 15% team & advisors (vested), 15% protocol treasury, 10% initial liquidity. No additional HBEAT can ever be minted.
How do I earn HBEAT rewards? +
HBEAT rewards can be earned by: (1) Staking HBEAT in Vault V2 for up to 186% APY, (2) Providing liquidity to incentivized pools, (3) Staking LP tokens in farming pools, (4) Participating in governance, and (5) Completing protocol milestones. Rewards are distributed every block automatically.
Does HyperBeat have a referral program? +
Yes. HyperBeat's referral program rewards you with 15% of the swap fees generated by users you refer to the platform, paid in HBEAT tokens. Referral rewards are tracked on-chain and claimable at any time. There is no limit to how many users you can refer.
Can I use HyperBeat on mobile? +
Yes. HyperBeat is fully responsive and optimized for mobile browsers. Simply navigate to app-hyperbeat.xyz on your mobile browser and connect with WalletConnect or a mobile-native wallet like MetaMask Mobile, Trust Wallet, or Rabby Mobile. All features are available on mobile.
What wallets are compatible with HyperBeat? +
HyperBeat works with any EVM-compatible wallet including MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, and any WalletConnect-compatible wallet. Simply add HyperEVM to your wallet's network list and connect. Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) are also supported via MetaMask.
How do I add HyperEVM to MetaMask? +
In MetaMask, go to Settings → Networks → Add Network, and enter HyperEVM's network details: Network Name: HyperEVM Mainnet, Chain ID: (listed in docs), Currency Symbol: HYPER, RPC URL and Block Explorer URL from app-hyperbeat.xyz/docs. HyperBeat can also auto-add the network on first connect.
Is HyperBeat open source? +
Yes. All HyperBeat smart contracts are open-source and verified on HyperEVM's block explorer. The front-end interface is also open-source on GitHub. The codebase has been reviewed by four independent audit firms. Community developers can build on HyperBeat using the public SDK and API.
What happens to protocol fees? +
Protocol fees flow into the HyperBeat treasury, governed by HBEAT holders. Currently, fee revenue is used for: 40% real-yield distribution to stakers, 30% ecosystem growth and grants, 20% protocol development, and 10% liquidity incentives. The allocation can be changed via governance vote.
How quickly are bridge transfers processed? +
Average bridge transfer time on HyperBeat is ~18 seconds — significantly faster than legacy bridges that can take minutes or hours. Transfer speed varies slightly by chain: HyperEVM ↔ BSC averages 12s, HyperEVM ↔ Ethereum averages 22s, and HyperEVM ↔ Solana averages 16s.
Can I bridge any token to HyperEVM? +
HyperBeat bridge supports native tokens (ETH, BNB, MATIC, SOL, AVAX), major stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI, BUSD), and a growing list of ERC-20/BEP-20/SPL tokens. The supported token list expands regularly via governance. New token bridge proposals can be submitted by any HBEAT holder.
What is the HyperBeat Launchpad? +
The HyperBeat Launchpad (coming Q2 2026) is a permissionless token launch platform on HyperEVM. Projects can launch fair-launch token sales, IDOs, and liquidity bootstrapping pools. HBEAT stakers get priority whitelist access and allocation boosts. Listing fees fund the protocol treasury.
Does HyperBeat support limit orders? +
Yes. HyperBeat supports on-chain limit orders via Gelato Network automation. Set your desired swap price and the order executes automatically when the market reaches your target. Limit orders are non-custodial — your tokens remain in your wallet until the order fills or you cancel it.
How do I contact HyperBeat support? +
HyperBeat support is available via: (1) Official Telegram community — fastest response, (2) Discord server with dedicated support channels, (3) Twitter/X @HyperBeat for protocol announcements, (4) Email at support@app-hyperbeat.xyz for non-urgent inquiries.
