Protocol Overview & Architecture
Institutional-style USDH-margined markets with an L4 transparent orderbook.
Markets by Kinetiq is a decentralized perpetual exchange operating on Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework. It aims to provide a professional, institutional-grade trading experience with a standout feature: an evolving L4 Orderbook that gives traders full transparency into individual orders, queue priority, and liquidity-provider attribution.
Unlike many other HIP-3 DEXs, all contracts on Markets by Kinetiq are fully margined and cash-settled in USDH. USDH is Hyperliquid's native stablecoin built by Native Markets and fully backed by cash and US Treasuries, providing a secure and aligned quote asset for the ecosystem.
