HyperVault (also known as HyperVaultFi, ticker @hypervaultfi) was a yield optimization protocol built on the Hyperliquid Layer 1 blockchain that marketed itself as a multichain DeFi hub offering APRs of up to 95%. On September 26, 2025, approximately $3.6 million in user funds were drained from the protocol, bridged to Ethereum, converted to approximately 752 ETH, and funneled into Tornado Cash; the team then deleted all social media accounts and the website went offline, in what blockchain security firm PeckShield and multiple crypto news outlets characterized as a rug pull. No founders have been publicly identified by name; at least one team member operated under the pseudonym 0xnick.
