Capital Relations Lead

nest is the Hyperliquid Spot Growth & Yield Machine: the liquidity, growth, and yield layer of Hyperliquid. It helps assets launch, bootstrap liquidity, and scale into HyperCore, while converting protocol revenue into HYPE for long-term holders.

Hyperliquid is the fastest-growing ecosystem in crypto, and DEXs on HyperEVM generate more fees per unit of TVL than those on any other major chain.

nest's CEO and COO previously built Fenix Finance together, the #1 MetaDEX on Blast, which stacked Blast's native yield with DEX revenue and DeFi strategies for depositors. Our CSO led partnerships at Aerodrome and Velodrome, driving ecosystem growth across Base and Optimism past $1B in market cap. Our AMM contracts are validated by PeckShield, ChainSecurity, OpenZeppelin, and Paladin, with assurance via independent audits from Hats Finance, code4rena, and BailSec. Over $200K spent on security.

We're a lean team, framed around results, not hours. Communication is direct and feedback flows both ways.

Capital deploys into nest in two ways: people invest in nest itself, or they provide liquidity to nest pools. Your work is to understand exactly what an allocator needs in order to say yes, then make it happen, proactively.

That might mean framing liquidity provisioning as a volatility trade, or positioning nest as the default launch path for tokens coming on-chain. Whatever the blocker is (a transparency record, better documentation, outreach), you find it and remove it.

Your job is to figure out what capital needs in order to flow into nest, then go get it.

1. 01Grow productive liquidity. Source LP capital into nest pools (HYPE-denominated pairs like WHYPE/USDC and WHYPE/UBTC, bluechip liquidity such as BTC and ETH, and new pools as they launch) and keep it deployed. nest is already a top venue for LPs, so the question you own is bigger: how do we make LPing its own way to trade, an instrument the way perps and options are, so capital deploys it as a strategy, not just to park for yield?
2. 02Own allocator relationships. Deepen existing capital relationships, activate your own network, and prospect beyond it with personalized, high-touch coverage.
3. 03Make allocators understand the thesis. Carry the Hyperliquid MetaDEX story to funds, protocols, and allocators, and make sure the people who deploy at size actually get it, then convert that understanding into deployment.
4. 04Bring new tokens to the nest Hatch. Win new protocols and tokens to launch on HyperEVM through the nest Hatch and scale into HyperCore. This is one of the biggest levers in the role, and a major driver of nest's revenue, and yours.

nest HATCH (Hyperliquid-Aligned Token Cultivation Hub) is nest's token-launch framework: it helps new projects launch with deeper liquidity and grow with the ecosystem. nest handles the liquidity incentives and HyperCore listing tickers, and delivers tight spreads from day one through AMM-backed arbitrage.

Most token launches today are broken. Centralized exchanges are mercenary: a Tier-2 listing runs $250K to $1M, is wash-traded, and brings no organic users, while a Binance listing demands around 10% of supply plus heavy market-maker spend, and airdrop recipients dump. The value leaks to exchanges and market makers instead of the project and its community.

HATCH replaces that with an on-chain launch on Hyperliquid, the deepest distribution in crypto: no mercenary market makers, no CEX listing fees, deeper liquidity at launch, direct exposure to Hyperliquid traders, and indirect HYPE exposure through nest's tokenomics, all for a small share of supply. Winning projects onto the Hatch is one of the biggest levers in this role, and a major source of nest's revenue.

The result: a better launch, an engaged community, and real price discovery from day one.

The bigger bet: as AI compresses how fast companies are built, every company will need faster, cheaper, borderless access to capital, not a dependence on one country's markets or gatekept private rounds.

We think they raise and trade on-chain, on the Everything Exchange: Hyperliquid. nest wants to be the end-to-end rail for that, helping new companies raise, bootstrap liquidity, and create a real market for their equity on-chain. It's a market worth billions, and this role is the front line of getting there.

• A warm, real network of capital allocators in DeFi (funds, liquid funds, treasuries, large LPs) that you can activate from day one.
• A track record of capital actually deployed, not just intros and pipeline.
• Strong DeFi fluency, enough to hold your own with an allocator's risk team.
• You go deep on product before you pitch, and you won't sell what you don't understand.
• High ownership: you build your own pipeline plan rather than waiting to be assigned accounts.
• Direct, crisp communicator.

• Existing presence in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
• Experience navigating fund or treasury due-diligence processes.
