Decentralized Finance Space has always had problems with a lack of transparency, and this has caused a lack of trust among users over time. Heima has taken this new issue into consideration by creating an innovative lending protocol through a Dual Architecture Blockchain with Hyperliquid. HyperEVM and HyperCore power Heima’s advanced lending protocol to provide the highest level of transparency for all Heima’s operations. Analysis of all loan requests, hedging positions, and liquidation prices are independently verified by using transaction hashes from the Hyperliquid Blockchain.
Resolving the Black Box Problem of DeFi
The DeFi lending ecosystem has risen sharply in the past few years with the industry processing more than $8.64 billion in active loans per week as of late 2025. There are major platforms such as Aave, Morpho and Compound that have developed impressive infrastructures serving millions of users. However, despite this growth, there is a critical weakness across the majority of lending protocols.
Standard DeFi platforms work similarly to black boxes. Users deposit collaterals, obtain loans, and experience liquidation events without being able to verify the operation of the mechanisms that cause these outcomes independently. The lack of visibility has created an asymmetric flow of information leading to continued confusion among users, unexpected losses as a result of market volatility, and a decline in trust across the entire DeFi ecosystem.
Heima’s approach to supplying transparency at the infrastructure level precisely solves these problems by not treating it as an ‘afterthought’ but by placing it at the root of the problem. Every loan on the platform triggers a series of operations that can be verified through the blockchain, all of which can be referenced by anyone by a transaction hash. This is a fundamental shift from trust based to verification-based lending.
The Transparency of the Architecture of Heima
The central component of the innovation of Heima is the dual-layer architecture of Hyperliquid. HyperCore manages the native trading infrastructure extremely well, with insane performance, able to process 200,000 orders per second with one block finality. Meanwhile HyperEVM offers an Ethereum compatible environment for smart contracts.
When a borrower deposits collateral with Heima’s platform, the platform carries out a transparent, multi-step system. First, it automatically sells collateral in the spot market via HyperCore. Then, it provides USDC stablecoins to the borrower according to the borrower’s ratio. Simultaneously, the protocol opens a hedged perpetual position which neutralizes the borrower’s exposure to price vagaries.
This hedging mechanism has been put in place to protect borrowers from volatility that has ravaged over-leveraged DeFi users in market crashes. The hedge position changes dynamically and since HyperCore and HyperEVM share the same state, these operations are executed instantly with transparent pricing. Liquidation prices are computed and shown in real-time with the help of verifiable on-chain market data and removing the guesswork that has shocked users on other platforms.
Transparent Repayment and Market Impact
When borrowers repay their USDC loans, Heima’s protocol automatically closes their hedge position, captures any profit or loss because of the hedging strategy and transfers funds into the borrower’s spot portfolio. The system then buys the original collateral amount, and the amount is directly returned to the borrower’s wallet. Each and every one of these steps takes place on-chain with 100% visibility.
Heima has shown great resilience with total value locked in lending protocols reaching a high of $62.9 billion in late 2025. User adoption is still on the rise with DeFi applications serving an estimated 15 million users.
Conclusion
Heima Network’s lending protocol demonstrates that transparency doesn’t need to be sacrificed for functionality or performance. Hyperliquid’s dual architecture blockchain allows Heima customers to trace all operations, get insights on funds management and make informed decisions using real-time data. As DeFi keeps its maturity of becoming mainstream, infrastructure-level transparency may transform into the minimum rather than a differentiating feature.
