SEDA

Engineering the Backbone.

Founding Team // HIP-3 Oracle

The Mandate

Before SEDA Protocol became the definitive data layer for Hyperliquid's permissionless perpetual markets, they needed a technical foundation capable of extraordinary scale.

Strategy

We executed a 'Founding Team Sprint' — a high-velocity recruitment strategy designed to build deep structural integrity into the protocol's DNA. We identified and secured the Head of Engineering & Research to provide architectural leadership, then rapidly scaled the core squad with Senior Rust Engineers and Front-End experts to solve the 'hard problems' of Web3 data flexibility.

Outcomes

  • Secured Head of Engineering & Research as the Strategic Anchor
  • Built specialized squad of Rust & Front-End experts
  • Team powered the Hyperliquid HIP-3 integration
  • Established SEDA as the primary oracle for permissionless perps
I couldn't recommend Node & Vector more highly. They helped us land Mario, who became our Head of Engineering & Research, as well as a number of other critical Engineering hires. They have been invaluable in our journey of growing the SEDA team.
