stHYPE

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

Tracks the total value of HYPE tokens staked through the Staked Hype liquid staking protocol. Users stake HYPE and receive stHYPE tokens that accrue rewards via rebase.

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

stHYPE is published as a versioned release inside the Valantis protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

stHYPE is a Liquid Staking protocol that issues liquid receipt tokens against staked deposits, so users earn validator rewards without locking up the underlying asset. It is deployed on Hyperliquid L1. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file). DeFiLlama tracks 1 historical event for this protocol since 2025.

stHYPE is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Hyperliquid L1 — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
