Complete KYC, manage deposits and withdrawals, and interact with Hourglass vaults from the Desktop Application.
Hourglass sits at the intersection of DeFi and time-based finance, pioneering liquidity for time-bound and semi-fungible assets (TBTs). The protocol unlocks value in locked positions—like vesting tokens, staking derivatives, and yield positions—so users can trade or leverage them without waiting for maturity. A Shared Liquidity Framework routes pooled assets to markets that need them most, improving capital efficiency while preserving composability across DeFi.
Everything you need to interact with time-bound liquidity in one secure, professional application
End-to-end encryption with local key management ensures your assets remain protected at all times.
Native performance delivers instant transaction signing and vault interactions without browser overhead.
