Why Meadow?

Rate shopping, automated per deposit

Yield rates move constantly, and the best venue for 900 USDC today isn't the best next week. Integrating venues one by one means chasing that — new adapters, new risk reviews, stale rate tables. Meadow inverts it: every deposit runs its own auction, and whoever pays the most net wins that deposit. Your integration doesn't change when the market does.

On Hyperliquid, that auction spans Core-native venues too — HLP vaults and HYPE staking, plus the flagship CoreWriter venue that supplies into Core through a gasless smart-account operation. See Hyperliquid on Edith.

Net matters. A venue with a headline 5.2% gross that costs 30bps in fees and meaningful settlement gas can lose to a 5.0% venue that settles cheap. Bids are scored after fees and amortized gas — the number you see is the number you earn.

Custody stays with the user

Most yield aggregators pool funds: you deposit into their contract, they deposit into venues, you hold a claim on the pool. That's an extra contract to trust, and an extra failure domain.

Meadow's settlement runs as the user's own account via EIP-7702: the batch executes in the user's address context, and the venue shares land directly in their EOA. There is no pool, no wrapper token, no claim — check any block explorer and the user is the shareholder. Withdrawing needs nothing from Meadow beyond building the exit plan; the shares were always theirs.

Single-signature UX, zero gas

The classic deposit is two transactions (approve, then deposit) and requires the user to hold gas. Meadow's flow is sign once, done — the winning bid's plan bundles approve + deposit into one authorized batch, relayed and gas-paid through Photon. A wallet holding only the stablecoin can start earning with it immediately.

No lock-in

Positions are ordinary venue shares in the user's address. Withdraw any time — partial or "max" — through the same one-signature mechanic. Leaving Meadow entirely requires nothing: the user can interact with the venue directly, because they hold the shares.

When Meadow is the wrong tool

• You want a fixed venue, always. If policy pins you to one vault, call it directly — an auction that can only pick one bidder adds nothing.
• Sub-cent deposits. Settlement gas is amortized into net APY; for dust amounts, no allocation clears attractively.
• Assets with no venue coverage. The auction can only allocate where solvers have venues — see Supported venues.
