The reason why im a nest bull instead of a any other DEX on @HyperliquidX HyperEVM 👇 @NestExchange is emitting $71k in $NEST, to capture approximately $60,000 in fees so far in Epoch 25 with 3 days to go. nest rewards LPs and protocols who are bullish Hyperliquid over the long term through HYPE distributions for anyone who deposits veNEST in the HYPE Engine Vault. 82% of NEST supply is locked because high IQ partners and aligned liquidity providers. NEST also implements strategic buybacks from the HYPE Engine Vault, Assistance Fund, and Ecosystem Funds. This maintains high APR for more liquidity per NEST token emissions than any other DEX on HyperEVM. This is why I keep telling people that the most aligned and longterm oriented DEX on HyperEVM is nest Exchange; the numbers and vision don't lie. HYPE MUST GROW.

Providing liquidity on a AMM relatively lower risk for returns for onchain yield strategies. nest offers a way to make your HYPE and other tokens work for you and gives HYPE bonuses each week for any locked NEST.

On Hyperliquid vs. general purpose blockchains like Solana / MegaETH While I’m still bullish on DeFi composability, for Perp DEXs, I’ve moved deeper and deeper into the camp that composability is not a big deal (at least for most potential use cases). What more can you offer that Hyperliquid won’t be able to add through core + EVM? Do those applications actually matter? Perps seem to be the sink and nobody is willing to sacrifice a worse perps experience for added composability to ecosystems that don’t have much else to offer for the typical trader. Seems to have become more of a buzzword to justify (in select cases) worse products. In a way, builder codes, hip-3 / 4, portfolio margin etc. get you to the same outcome (third party participation and the ability to use your collateral) without the added complexity. Also factor in exploit ripple effects like we saw with Drift and Aave and the value proposition looks even less attractive. Happy to reconsider just a question I’ve been thinking about.

This thread definitively demonstrates how @NestExchange is the most HYPE aligned maxi exchange. ~29% APR (in HYPE) on a HYPE/KHYPE position simply by locking NEST rewards and leveraging the HYPE Engine Vault. This is shifting to weekly HYPE distributions so time to start LPing.
