In this episode of Uncut Gems by Bitcoin Suisse, hosts Dominic Weibel and Luca Gnos sit down with Omnia, co-founder of Kinetiq - the dominant liquid staking protocol in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

Omnia shares the full founding story: from NFT market making and perp trading to discovering Hyperliquid in early 2023, and eventually building what became the fastest-growing liquid staking protocol ever, hitting $1B in deposits within three weeks of launch. The conversation dives deep into what makes Hyperliquid uniquely special, how Kinetiq evolved from a pure LST into a multi-vertical DeFi powerhouse, and where the HIP-3 exchange battle is really being won.

If you want to understand the Hyperliquid ecosystem beyond just the hype token - and why Kinetiq calls itself its central nervous system - this episode is for you.
