Official Hyperliquid announcements and HIP-3 ecosystem updates, normalized into one chronological feed.


Someone recently shared this paper with me, which rigorously studies the execution improvement of visible TWAPs on Hyperliquid: "Trading in the Sunshine or in the Shade: Market Impact and Adverse Selection on Hyperliquid," by Davide Barone and Fabrizio Lillo. In physics, theorists can say all they want, but the case isn't closed until an experimentalist comes with the cold hard data. So thank you to the authors of this paper for their hard work! The paper demonstrates that liquidity net tightens as onchain TWAPs surface, improving the average execution of the TWAP order. This has been a deeply personal question for me. Even before building Hyperliquid, I've defended from first principles that transparent trading ought to improve execution for non-toxic flow. This is a corrollary of the efficient market hypothesis, but the amount of pushback always surprised me. I've quote tweeted a previous post where I make the argument in detail. Transparency and equal access bring improved execution over traditional private venues. It's an honor to build with everyone to upgrade the financial system with onchain technology.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to thoughtfully respond to my post on transparent markets. I understand that the thesis is controversial and that Hyperliquid is at a new frontier as the first…

Capital markets thrive when price discovery is open and continuous. Hyperliquid was built for both. Our joint letter with @HyperliquidPC explains how pre-IPO perpetuals can complement the IPO process and support more informed capital formation.

Americans should have access to pre-IPO perpetuals. Cerebras opened 89% above its IPO price. SK Hynix 14%. SpaceX 11%. Each time, a public market on Hyperliquid signaled the gap before trading began.IPO modernization offers a chance to put that price signal to work for issuers and investors. Today, with @tradexyz , we filed a joint comment letter introducing pre-IPO perpetuals (IPOPs) to the SEC. Inside, we describe the five IPOP markets that trade[XYZ] has launched so far on Hyperliquid and outline the questions that the SEC must resolve before these markets can serve Americans.

The stock market’s rulebook was built for 2005’s technology. The SEC is proposing to retire the trade-through rule and protect investors through best execution: a duty that follows your order to any venue, at any hour. Together with @DouroLabs we filed a joint comment supporting the rescission and recommending how best execution should work for tokenized securities trading onchain. Read it here ⏬

Product & Tech + Based on feedback, the HIP-1 spec will be extended. Existing deployers and teams interested in HIP-1 deployment are encouraged to share further feedback. For details, see the API announcements channel + Based on feedback, additional features for HIP-4 have been implemented. For details, see the message above + Hyper Foundation's non-validating node is open to high-quality infrastructure providers as a reliable peer. For details, see the API announcements channel Trading + HIP-3 markets reached a new ATH of $4.3B in open interest New Teams on the HyperEVM & HyperCore + Buoy Finance deployed a vault system for trading on HyperCore via HyperEVM custom vaults: https://x.com/BuoyFinance/status/2087948034206208083
Additional features for HIP-4 have been implemented: 1. Deployer actions now support registerAndAssociateNamedOutcomeFromTemplate which allows deployers to add additional named outcomes to a question after creation. The initial balances of the new named outcome match the outstanding fallback balances. See hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/for-developers/api/hip-4-deployer-actions for details. 2. Template instantiations now require deployerFeeScale for questions and standalone outcomes. Similar to HIP-3, this is a multiplier on the base fee that deployers can configure to collect, bounded between 0 and 10. See hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/fees for more details on outcome fees. 3. shortString type hint has been added, which appears in templated side names so that interfaces can make useful assumptions about the respective fields. 4. Settlement details are now pruned from the L1 state. Applications depending on node API servers or read precompiles could separately index settlement details if needed in perpetuity. 5. Additional templates have been added to testnet. Template IDs are suffixed with an index. All but the largest index in each series are considered deprecated templates. On the next network upgrade, validator-deployed outcome markets will have fees enabled in preparation for point 2 above. The average outcome trading fee will be half that of non-outcome spot trading. See hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/fees for more details. The mainnet launch of HIP-4 will have conservative specs as a staged rollout. Initially, each deployer will be limited to 100 concurrent outcomes, with 500 outcome deployments per day. Once the tech is stabilized, deployer limits are expected to increase quickly to 1k concurrent outcomes and 5k deployments per day. Based on feedback, a design for further limit increases will be implemented.

This is a cool dashboard: historical and realtime liquidity comparisons across venues. Hyperliquid is not only the most liquid venue for major crypto and RWA perps, it's more liquid by an *order of magnitude* for some of them like the S&P500. Thanks to the ASXN team for building this!

Farmers were the original beneficiaries of America’s derivatives markets. Futures trading was born in the grain trade in the 1800s, and federal oversight ran through the U.S. Department of Agriculture for five decades. The House and Senate Agriculture Committees oversee the CFTC to this day. On July 29, the @CFTC 's Agricultural Advisory Committee convened for the first time in more than two years. Today we filed a statement supporting the Committee’s work and the Commission’s phased approach to perpetual futures.

Markets take weekends off. The news doesn't. New @blockworksres research measured 614 weekends of live 24/7 trading in equities, commodities, FX, and indices on Hyperliquid. The first hard data on what happens when markets simply keep going. The weekend markets held up: weekday-tight spreads, weekday-cost fills, while everything else was closed. And the weekend prices knew where markets would reopen. They cut the typical reopening miss in half, and on big moves they called the direction right 94.9% of the time. Read the full report:
