The World's Fastest Decentralized Perpetual Futures Exchange - Trade with Up to 50x Leverage on 100+ Markets
Hyperliquid is a revolutionary decentralized perpetual futures exchange that combines the speed and user experience of centralized exchanges with the security and transparency of decentralized finance. Built on its own high-performance Layer 1 blockchain called HyperEVM, Hyperliquid enables traders to access leverage trading on over 100 cryptocurrency markets with execution speeds that rival or exceed traditional centralized exchanges like Binance or FTX. The platform has quickly become one of the most popular venues for professional crypto traders seeking to maximize profits through leveraged positions while maintaining full custody of their funds.
Unlike traditional decentralized exchanges that suffer from slow transaction times, high gas fees, and limited liquidity, Hyperliquid was built from the ground up to solve these problems. The platform achieves sub-second transaction finality, meaning your trades execute almost instantaneously - comparable to centralized exchanges but without the custody risk. There are zero gas fees for trading, making it economical to execute even small trades or high-frequency strategies. The order book is fully on-chain, providing complete transparency while maintaining the performance characteristics traders expect from professional trading platforms.
What truly sets Hyperliquid apart is its innovative approach to liquidity. The platform uses a hybrid model combining an on-chain order book with a native automated market maker called the HLP (Hyperliquid Liquidity Provider) vault. This vault contains over $100 million in liquidity provided by users who stake their funds to earn trading fees. The result is consistently deep liquidity across all markets, tight bid-ask spreads, and minimal slippage even for large orders. Traders can execute million-dollar positions with confidence, knowing they'll get fair execution prices.
Hyperliquid supports perpetual futures contracts for a vast array of cryptocurrencies, from major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to emerging altcoins and meme tokens. Perpetual futures are derivative contracts that track the price of an underlying asset but never expire, unlike traditional futures. They use a funding rate mechanism to keep contract prices anchored to spot prices. This makes them ideal for speculative trading, hedging, and capturing both upward and downward price movements. With leverage up to 50x on many markets, traders can amplify their capital efficiency and potentially multiply their gains - though this also magnifies risk.
Built on HyperEVM, a custom Layer 1 blockchain optimized for trading. Orders execute in under one second with immediate finality. No waiting for block confirmations or dealing with network congestion. Performance rivals centralized exchanges while maintaining full decentralization and transparency.
The HLP vault provides over $100M in native liquidity across all markets. Tight spreads and minimal slippage even for large orders. Professional market makers and the automated liquidity provider ensure consistent depth. Trade confidently with execution quality comparable to major CEXs.
