Early Projects Radar: 9 Fresh Names This Week (Oct 14)

Nine early-stage projects that hit our radar, real products rather than memecoins. The theme: tools that used to belong to a Wall Street desk are being rebuilt for one person with a wallet. A prime broker for Hyperliquid, a terminal for ten perp venues, a trading screen for Hyperliquid's new prediction markets, options with no liquidations and strategy funds anyone can launch. Further down the stack, GPU financing from $100, repo-style credit on Bitcoin and loans for AI agents. Follower counts are small on purpose, you are seeing these early. With a link to each.



1/ HyperLink (Prime Brokerage)

Hyperliquid built the exchange, HyperLink is building the broker. It pools the volume of all its users plus its own staked HYPE to unlock VIP fee tiers, and routes orders under its own address, so the market sees HyperLink, not your wallet. Raised $2.5M from Alliance, North Island VC and others after routing $254M in a single month. Still invite-only.



2/ Liquidiction (Prediction Markets)

Hyperliquid now runs its own prediction markets, and Liquidiction is a trading screen built just for them: sports, crypto and stock markets from deployers like Outcome and trade.xyz, with live odds and order books in one place. It is non-custodial and trades from the Hyperliquid balance you already have, so there is nothing new to deposit. Tails let you back another trader's call in one click, and a mobile web app went live on October 1.



3/ Taba (Trading Terminal)

Ten perp DEXs, from Hyperliquid to Backpack and Pacifica, in one account and one trade screen, with up to twelve charts on a wall and a journal that writes itself from your fills. Its market data pages (funding gaps between venues, whale trades, liquidations) are free with no account needed. Did $2M in volume in the first few days of its private beta.



4/ HEAT (Options)

Options trading built around the chart: pick a direction, drag a strike and see what you make if price ends there. Quick mode is just Up, Down or Volatile, custom mode offers spreads and straddles. Every trade is a debit spread, so there is no margin and no liquidations. Went live on October 13, executing on Derive.



5/ functionSPACE (Range Markets)

Prediction markets ask yes or no. functionSPACE prices a number across its whole range: where a box office opening weekend will land, how many fantasy points a player will score. Apps plug into the same liquidity, and the first three (cultureSPACE, fanspace, propspace) are taking waitlist signups. Came to Arbitrum on October 5, after a $1.7M pre-seed led by Maven 11 and Blockwall.



6/ Tango (Strategy Vaults)

A marketplace where traders turn their strategies into vaults that anyone can deposit into: active stock trading, covered calls on ETH, lending on Aave and Morpho, DEX liquidity. Smart contracts only let the capital move the way the strategy was set up, and creators earn fees as their vaults grow. Live since October 6, access by invite code.



7/ Silicon Exchange (Compute Finance)

Own a share of a real GPU. Each deposit mints shares in the hardware, and holders are paid monthly from the rent. The first vault is one node of eight Nvidia B300 GPUs, bought only once a 3-year rental contract is signed, with full refunds if the $670K round does not fill by November 10. Minimum ticket is $100.



8/ BitRepo (Bitcoin Credit)

Keep your BTC, borrow stablecoins against it and put them into short-term credit for fintechs, e-commerce lenders and agent platforms, keeping the spread. The founder, Thomas Hepner, co-founded Credit Coop, and BitRepo is one of 10 teams picked for Base Batches 004. Pre-launch: the site is booking intro calls with lenders.



9/ Priors (Agent Credit)

An AI agent can trade and post, but it cannot get a loan in its own name. Priors lends agents $5 to $500 in USDG on Robinhood Chain for up to 30 days, and every repayment builds an onchain credit record. So far 274 agents have repaid 39.9K loans worth $295K, with 2 defaults. It has its own token, $PRIORS, which owners can stake behind their agent's credit line.


The pattern this week: the Wall Street toolkit is shrinking to wallet size. Prime brokerage, smart order routing, options spreads, managed strategies, hardware financing and repo used to need a desk, a license and a big minimum ticket. Here they come as an app, a vault or an API, and one of them lends to AI agents instead of people. These are early-stage projects, several invite-only, in private beta or pre-launch, so higher upside comes with higher risk. Do your own research, nothing here is financial advice.
