Protocol trust boils down to one essential question: how do you know it's actually legit?

There are basically two routes:
- The team claims it's solid
- You verify it yourself, right there on the blockchain

The second option is where things get interesting. With protocols building on HyperEVM, you're getting real transparency—every PPS update, fund balance, strategy mechanics, and yield source is auditable directly on-chain.

That level of visibility? It's genuinely uncommon in DeFi. Most protocols operate with far less openness, but the ones embracing full on-chain transparency are setting a different standard.
