nest — the best yields on Hyperliquid.

nest delivers structured yield strategies while growing liquidity for a more efficient trading experience on Hyperliquid. It's where my thesis on Hyperliquid as "the Layer 1 for all finance" lives as a product.

I'm Ace. I've been a crypto hobbyist since 2016 and full-time since 2021. Today I'm a co-founder of nest, a metadex on Hyperliquid.

Before nest I spent years researching DeFi across Ethereum and the multi-chain world, publishing analytical essays under the Ethropy name. My writing tries to do one thing: cut through the noise and paint the bigger picture of where markets are heading.

If you're building something on Hyperliquid, thinking about DeFi yield, or want to swap notes on where the next cycle is going, the best way to reach me is on Twitter.
