AVAIL enters the Hyperliquid ecosystem with @ShieldTXxyz

Why Hyperliquid, and why now?

Hyperliquid is where a lack of privacy costs large traders on every trade, and public exposure is holding back desks and funds who want to trade there.

After screening 332,317 wallets over 30 days, ShieldTX studied the impact of copy-trading on seven top perp traders and found a median execution loss of 63 bps per trade.

Hyperliquid can't capture the flow that needs privacy while every position remains public. ShieldTX routes that flow to @HyperliquidX, with the enterprise-grade privacy large traders need.

We've spent months speaking with whales, trading desks, market makers and digital asset funds who want to use the platform without the public exposure. They want privacy from competitors and copy-bots, without giving up compliance.

The current solutions aren't enough:

• Hyperliquid sub-accounts link to the main account onchain
• Multi-wallet rotation gets exposed by Arkham and other analytics platforms
• Third-party privacy solutions still expose a trader's PnL onchain

ShieldTX is built to close this gap.

Every trade is placed on Hyperliquid from a brand-new Hyperliquid wallet. Nothing links the trade onchain to the trader, and nothing links the trades together. A full trading history is available to users for audits and compliance.

ShieldTX is the on-ramp for crypto-native desks today, and the institutions who come next.

Today we are releasing Quantum Cadence, a post-quantum version of Cadence, our consensus protocol with multiple concurrent proposers. Quantum Cadence uses no quorum certificates, and its safety and liveness do not depend on signatures.

Most modern consensus protocols, Cadence included, rely heavily on signatures and quorum certificates, which a large-scale quantum computer could forge. Simply replacing today's signatures with post-quantum ones would make certificates too large for every validator to send around in a high-performance blockchain. Quantum Cadence instead draws on Forget-IT, a recent signature-free consensus protocol co-developed by researchers at Category Labs.

Quantum Cadence still keeps the overall architecture and core guarantees of Cadence, so our Cadence prototype was easy to carry over: an AI was able to adapt it to Quantum Cadence in a few hours, and an early prototype now runs on an internal test network.

We designed Quantum Cadence to be practical for a high-performance blockchain. In our simulations, its latency is similar to Cadence's, and it scales better with the number of proposers.
