Introduction
xTokens are Liminal’s tokenized & cross-chain product line: omnichain OFTs tokens that represent a share in a pooled delta-neutral strategies running on Hyperliquid for a specific asset.
Instead of each user running their own strategy, capital is aggregated into one institutional grade, delta-neutral carry trade line per asset (e.g. HYPE, BTC, ETH). Users deposit stablecoins into this pooled strategy and receive yield-bearing xTokens in return. As the underlying strategy earns funding and other yield, each xToken (e.g. $xHYPE, $xBTC, $xETH) automatically increases in value over time.
Each xToken maps to one underlying asset market:
$xHYPE → delta-neutral strategy on $HYPE
$xBTC → delta-neutral strategy on $BTC
$xETH → delta-neutral strategy on $ETH
…and more as new markets are added.
Thanks to a hub-and-spoke architecture (powered by LayerZero), xTokens are natively cross-chain:
Users can mint xTokens by depositing stablecoins from any supported chain (HyperEVM, Arbitrum, Ethereum etc.).
They receive an OFT xToken on the chain of their choice, while the strategy itself is managed on Hypercore/HyperEVM.
xTokens can move freely between supported chains, so users can mint on one chain, bridge, and use them on another.
Because xTokens are omnichain OFTs, they are:
Liquid: easy to trade or exit.
Transferable: move between wallets and chains.
Composable: plug directly into DeFi primitives (collateral, liquidity pools, lending markets, yield derivatives, and more).
In short, xTokens turn Liminal’s delta-neutral funding strategies on Hyperliquid into cross-chain, plug-and-play yield primitives that can be held passively or actively integrated into DeFi across multiple ecosystems.
