Helix Labs

Helix Labs builds institutional-grade infrastructure for productive staking liquidity on proof-of-stake networks, with an initial focus on Cardano. The company develops a suite of cross-chain assets on Canton, including wrapped and liquid-staked representations of underlying tokens such as Canton Coin, Stellar Lumens, and XDC. These tokens are designed to be verifiable, redeemable, and usable across Canton applications, with transparent mint, unwrap, and staking mechanics.

The 'h' family of assets includes hCC for Canton Coin, hXLM for Stellar Lumens, and hXDC for liquid staked XDC. Each token operates with a 1:1 ratio to its underlying asset, except for hXDC where the redemption ratio drifts above 1:1 over time as staking yield compounds. These assets are intended to support use cases such as collateral, credit, money markets, and basis or carry strategies.

Helix Labs was awarded an XDC masternode in June 2026, expanding its validator footprint across the XDC Network. This masternode strengthens Helix's role in securing XDC infrastructure and underpins hstXDC, its liquid staking product built on the network.

In April 2026, Helix was approved and onboarded as a validator on the Canton Network, joining the operator set securing the institutional-grade privacy blockchain. As a production validator, Helix participates in network consensus, reward distribution, and the Super Validator economy underpinning Canton Coin.

Helix Labs received a grant from the Stellar Development Foundation in March 2026 to build cross-chain liquidity infrastructure. The grant supports development of bridging primitives that enable seamless asset movement and settlement across networks.

The hXDC asset accrues rewards, so the redemption ratio drifts above 1:1 over time as staking yield compounds. This mechanism is unique among the h family assets which maintain a strict 1:1 ratio for their respective underlying tokens.

Users can post h-assets as collateral to access credit denominated in each underlying asset. They can also back secured positions and margin requirements through risk-managed flows on the platform.

The platform allows users to seed markets and execute across the h family on Canton by running LP positions and compressing spreads through cross-chain arbitrage. Users can also swap h-assets against each other and the wider Canton market.

Helix Labs provides cross-chain mobility by allowing users to move value between Canton and native networks on a defined path. Users can mint and redeem each asset at a clear, verifiable rate while bridging liquidity in and out without leaving the Canton ecosystem.

The website states that underlying reserves and staking positions are verifiable on-chain, ensuring on-chain transparency. Additionally, the platform offers clearly defined mint and unwrap/unstake paths per asset.

To get started, users can interact with the h-assets on the Canton network. The platform allows minting, redeeming, and swapping of these assets with clear, verifiable rates.
