What is Compost?
The short version: Compost lets you earn yield from Hyperliquid's builder markets without needing $15 million.
The Opportunity
Hyperliquid's HIP-3 markets are generating real revenue right now. Deployers earn 50% of all trading fees — and volume is in the billions.
But to deploy a market, you need to stake 500K HYPE (~$15M). That locks out almost everyone.
Compost solves this. We pool capital together, deploy across multiple markets, and share the yield with depositors.
How It Works
Think of it like this:
- You deposit HYPE — any amount
- You get cHYPE — a token that represents your share
- We allocate your HYPE across vetted HIP-3 markets
- Yield flows in from trading fees and staking
- Your cHYPE grows in value as yield compounds
- You withdraw whenever you want
No minimum. No lock-up. No complexity.
Why It Matters
| Before Compost | With Compost |
|---|---|
| Need $15M to participate | Deposit any amount |
| Pick markets yourself | Professional selection |
| Single market risk | Diversified exposure |
| Manage everything | Set and forget |
| Illiquid position | Tradeable cHYPE token |
One Token: cHYPE
When you deposit, you receive cHYPE. That's it.
- It tracks your share of the vault
- It appreciates as yield accrues
- You can trade it, use it as collateral, or just hold it
No governance token. No points. No complexity. Just yield.
