Hybra V4

Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

Hybra V4 is a concentrated-liquidity AMM on HyperEVM with volatility-based fees, Uniswap V4-style hooks, and a ve(3,3) emissions model. Providers set a price range and hold a two-token position that rebalances against traders, and concentration makes the drift toward the weaker asset sharper than in a full-range pool. Dynamic fees change the compensation, not the impermanent loss, and the class rule rejects the whole AMM category on those grounds. TVL was about $0.99 million at the 2026-08-16 survey. A product line without impermanent-loss exposure would reopen the file.

The research file

Mechanism applicability

Hybra V4 liquidity providers choose a token pair and concentrated price range, then receive a position claim whose active inventory supplies trades on HyperEVM. V4 changes pool fees dynamically using volatility and liquidity conditions, but swaps and arbitrage still alter the two-token inventory inside the selected range. The client therefore owns concentrated AMM exposure and the shared version-1 amm-lp dossier applies.

Current observation and perimeter

The DefiLlama protocol API read on 2026-08-16 classified Hybra V4 as a DEX and reported approximately $0.99M on Hyperliquid L1. Current Hybra documentation presents V2, V3 concentrated liquidity and V4 dynamic-fee concentrated liquidity as distinct pool generations on HyperEVM. This application is limited to the measured V4 record and does not treat Hybra’s trading, governance or older pools as the client claim.

Control, loss and exit applicability

V4 fee logic can change compensation as volatility and onchain or offchain liquidity conditions change; governance and protocol contracts also direct treasury fee shares and incentive programs. Neither control prevents a range from becoming one-sided after price movement. A holder decreases or removes liquidity for the position’s then-current assets and accrued fees, realizing the inventory mix rather than recovering the original deposit ratio.

Why the class rule decides

Hybra’s own add, remove and fee documentation establishes range-selected paired liquidity, so the claim-to-source fit is direct. Dynamic fees, hooks and emissions can affect APR but do not eliminate divergence loss. The shared version-1 amm-lp dossier therefore decides. Reopen only for a separately measured Hybra product whose client return does not require paired or synthetic market-making inventory, followed by a fresh control, incident, liquidity and alternatives review.

Inherited controls

The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
