# What is Alembic?

**Alembic Finance** is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol designed to make advanced on-chain investment strategies accessible, transparent, and efficient for all types of crypto investors.

Built on **HyperEVM**, a next-generation EVM-compatible blockchain, Alembic combines the **speed, scalability, and low gas costs** of HyperEVM with the **security and interoperability** of the Ethereum ecosystem.

At its core, Alembic’s strategies are powered by **HyperCore,** a high-performance execution and analytics engine that manages yield optimization, portfolio rebalancing, and cross-protocol strategy execution in real time.

Together, **HyperEVM** and **HyperCore** form the foundation of Alembic’s infrastructure, delivering institutional-grade performance within a decentralized framework.

In short:

> Alembic Finance is where DeFi meets professional-grade portfolio management, powered by HyperLiquid thanks to HyperCore and deployed on HyperEVM.
